Dell's tablet isn't cheap, but it'll appeal to the business crowd who desire a solidly built system.

Asus Lamborghini VX5

Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Sony Vaio W

Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
