Fujitsu announced today the U.S. availability of the LifeBook T2010 Tablet PC, which features a 12.1-inch display, Intel’s “Santa Rosa” platform, the Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage processor, and a claimed battery life of up to nine hours.
This pen-enabled convertible laptop has a WXGA 1280-by-800 pixels display with LED-backlighting and an enhanced outdoor viewing capability. The LifeBook T2010 is based on Intel 965GM chipset with the integrated GMA X3100 video controller and is paired with Core 2 Duo ULV U7600 or U7500 processor, depending on configuration. It ships with 1GB to 4 GB (actual 3.24 GB) of DDR2 system memory. The CPU and memory in this Tablet PC operate at 533MHz front side bus, which is slower than 800MHz/667MHz FSB in common “Santa Rosa”-based mobile computers with full-voltage processors.
Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 ships with up to 120GB SATA hard drive. In addition, there are options of 32GB solid state drive and 1GB Intel Turbo Memory. The T2010 does not have a built-in optical drive. Instead, a DVD/CD-RW combo drive or a dual-layer multi-format DVD writer can be provided via a separately sold docking station.
Regarding communications and networking, the LifeBook T2010 has 802.11a/b/g/draft-n wireless, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN, a 56K modem, and an optional Bluetooth module.
The Fujitsu’s new Tablet PC features a PCMCIA card slot, two USB ports, a Firewire connector, a 3-in-1 media card reader and a VGA output. For system security, there are a fingerprint reader, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2, and a dedicated Smart Card slot.
Designed for mobile professionals, Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 weighs 3.5 pounds with a standard nine-hours six-cell battery, while an extended nine-cell battery adds 0.32 pounds and provides up to eleven hours of continuous work between charges.
This convertible notebook starts at $1,599 and is sold with Windows Vista Business or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 preloaded through Fujitsu direct sales force, website, channel partners and select retail outlets.

Thanks to the oh-so-disclosing FCC, we already knew that Fujitsu’s U810 and T2010 were headed this way, but now the firm is making things official. The 1.56-pound U810 will boast a snazzy LED-backlit display, last up to 5.5-hours on a single charge, will don the “world’s smallest tablet convertible” label, and will be available for you to cuddle next month. The larger T2010 (pictured) weighs in at 3.5-pounds and also manages to pack a LED-backlit screen, but this pen-enabled convertible boasts a whopping 11-hours of battery life on the extended cell, or an impressive 9-hours on the standard iteration. Best of all, folks interested in the latter machine can get their orders in now starting at $1,599, and those eying the cutesy U810 will be coughing up a minimum of $999 when it’s available.
It looks like the “handsome” new Fujitsu T2010 that we saw back in the beginning of July has made its way into the loving arms of the FCC — where they’ve given it their precious stamp of approval. Of course, this doesn’t mean anything yet, as the company hasn’t made any announcements, but it does open the possibility of seeing the 12.1-inch ultralight tablet around these parts in the future. The Core 2 Duo system runs on Intel’s Santa Rosa 965 chipset, with an integrated X1300 GMA graphics chip, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a weight starting at just 3.31 lbs.

Damn, if you’ve gone tablet and thought Fujitsu’s ultra-portable Lifebook T8140 was hot, then you’d best check their P8240 before opening your wallet. It’s not the most powerful convertible in the world with a max configuration sporting a Core Solo U1400 proc and Intel GMA 950 graphics. What it lacks in power however, is more than made up for in portability: 8.9-inch, 1,280 x 768 LCD; up to 32GB SSD or 80GB disk; up to 9.1-hours on extended battery or 4.3-hours in a wee bit of kit weighing just 2.1-pounds. Windows Vista Business will cost ya ¥270,000 (about $2,188) out the gate.
So you liked the looks of Fujitsu’s tiny T4220 12.1-inch convertible tablet, right? Only that 3 hours off battery was a deal breaker. No worries, meet the smaller, lighter, and more efficient Lifebook T8140. We’re talking an Intel 1.06GHz U7500 Core 2 Duo ULV processor and 32GB SSD (yes, Solid State Disk) packed into a chassis measuring 1.3-inches / 3.3-pounds and capable of operating at up to 11.3 hours off long-haul battery. Hell, it’ll even go 7.2-hours off standard battery if weight is your biggest concern, sissy. All that and still packing a 12.1-inch, 1,280 x 800 resolution. Toss in Vista for suits and 1GB DDR2 memory and you’re looking at ¥265,000 (about $2,650) when these pop in Japan sometime late July.
Lenovo officially debuted the ThinkPad X61 Tablet PC. That’s right it’s official and we got our hands on one. The ThinkPad X61 is the updated model to its predecessor the ThinkPad X60.
Fujitsu LifeBook T4220 features Intel Core 2 Duo T7100, T7300, T7500, or T7700 processor and Mobile Intel GM965 Express chipset. The GM965 has the integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, which manages the Tablet PC’s 12.1-inch XGA TFT display with 1024×768 resolution and an optional outdoor-use design. The LifeBook T4220 features digital pen input. Read the rest of this entry »
