No, I’m not taking the Michael out of warehouse workers — I’m aware that many professionals need to use a compact, rugged PC at work, and the Panasonic ToughBook CF-U1 could just fit the bill.

Rock lessens the burden with new Pegasus 210 ultraportable
The laptop world’s a funny old place. You can buy a top-spec machine in an ugly old case for £299, or you could have a Vaio or MacBook Air with the same specs for £1500. How does that make sense?
Aggressively attacking the vacant mid-ground is this – the new Pegasus 210 from power-maker Rock. It features a 12″ screen, classy magnesium alloy body…
Shiny Video Review: Vye MiniV UMPC
It’s more video fun from The Susi And Katie Hour, today looking at the MiniV UMPC device from Vye.
At a sliver under £800, does the 120GB of storage capacity, 800MHz Intel A110 processor and 1GB of RAM warrant the price? Or should…
Intel intros Atom low-power microprocessors, aimed at ultra-mobile devices
Intel has chosen the name “Atom” for its new line of low-power microprocessors, specifically designed for use in mobile devices, UMPCs and some desktop PCs.
