Lifebook U820 Tablet PC

By Nate Ralph (pcworld.com)

As computers shrink to the size of Pop-Tarts boxes, the Fujitsu Lifebook U820 promises to lead the charge--and still be functional. Unfortunately, it needs to have a better interface and to make smarter use of its meager resources. As it stands, the ...

The U820 also has a mobile broadband modem, which allows you to hop onto AT&T's EDGE service (with a subscription). And then there's the built-in GPS functionality, care of Garmin. While it won't replace your standard GPS unit, it works--most of the ...

Very good laptop

By AC (newegg.com)

Like most laptops that are small, very few have the size of the battery with the size of the laptop, i mean, the battery is big, and makes it feel the laptop that is a bit bigger than it is.

Ultra portable, internal GPS, highly recommended

the keys are a bit small, but u get used to it

Very useful and functional laptop

By N/A (newegg.com)

This laptop is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's decently quick in terms of processing speed. It can run videos decently well, especially if you tone down the vista visual elements. I haven't really tested the GPS, yet, but I have no reason t...

If you're going to get this laptop I would recommend reading a Vista Optimization guide because as it is this laptop is kinda on the slow size, or just install Ubuntu. Other than these easily fixable speed gripes, this laptop is great
