Apple's ultrathin MacBook Air refocuses attention on ultraportable laptops. How does it stack up against the competing Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010 and Toshiba's Portege R500?

LifeBook P8010: Touch-Friendly Keyboard
The P8010's keyboard has a solid feel, with finger-friendly keys conducive to touch typing. The touchpad and mouse buttons are larger and better designed than on this model's predecessor, the P7200-series. A biometric finger scanner doubles as scroll wheel. And an SD Card slot is conveniently located at the front of the unit, to the left of the touchpad. Beneath the card slot is the wireless on/off switch. Alternatively, you can use one of the four handy shortcut buttons above the keyboard to implement Fujitsu's power-saving mode (which turns off the wireless and disables other power-sapping features and components). The other buttons provide one-touch access to Internet Explorer, to changing the display settings, and to Fujitsu's Support Center.
