...chance to test the industry's hypothesis using the TravelNote C100, the new tablet PC from Acer. Reasonably lightweight (about 2 kg), with a 20-GB hard drive and an 800-MHz Pentium III processor, the TravelNote looks and performs like a normal laptop computer. The screen, however, swivels around and folds back over the keyboard, creating a writing slate. A stylus serves as both a pen for note taking, and as a mouse for operating programs. Using the machine's built-in Wi-Fi (wireless-fidelity) link, for example, you can write a URL into the Internet Explorer browser...

Not this 4.5-lb. roadie, with its 750-MHz Pentium III, 256MB of RAM and 30GB hard drive, plus a combo DVD-drive/ CD-burner, built-in wireless networking and a long list of lesser perks. www.toshiba.com...
...that ruggedized laptops are often heavy--and pricey. That Rough Rider III runs $5,000. The good news is that manufacturers have begun courting the consumer market. Panasonic, the field leader, now offers so-called semi-ruggeds. The Toughbook 72, introduced last fall with a Pentium III 700-MHz processor, is water-resistant, can survive a 1-ft. drop onto concrete and sells for $2,700. The Toughbook 37 Ultra-Slim--just 1 in. thick and 4.4 lbs.--is around $2,000. Ruggednotebooks' XE-620 runs about $3,000. Other companies in the space: Melard, Itronix and Dolch...
