We're all about giving ya options, and we're certainly down with speedy upgrades, and
Fujitsu is making sure both areas of greatness are covered in its newly-unveiled
LifeBook. The T4215 takes over where the mediocre
T4210 left off, but offers up a plethora of new hardware choices, and even promises a respectable battery life. The
convertible will sport a trio of 12.1-inch LCD options, including XGA for indoor and / or outdoor use and SXGA+ for indoors, Intel's T5500/T5600/T7200/T7400
Core 2 Duo processors, "up to 120GB" hard drive, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g, and the obligatory inclusion of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. The device is slated to look like a long-lost twin of the prior model, but manages to trim 0.2 pounds from its arguably bulky frame; moreover, the 6-cell Li-ion cell promises "up to six hours" of life, but we'd be happy with just under four. While we aren't sure if this newest addition to the
T-Series lineup will be available before the holiday rush, you can expect it to run you $1,799 (and way, way up) whenever it drops.

I hope this never drops. It would probably crack the screen. Can't wait for it to be released though.
This neck design is copy of LG's notebook.
lol, the neck design looks like my ol' Toshiba m200. In fact, this model looks to have the best features of the m200, with an updated cpu and optical drive - I wonder how much battery life it gets with two batteries.
If it has its keyboard and dedicated video card, it'd be excellent 'cause it's at a lower price (though Toshiba's newest doesn't have dedicated video).
I doubt they offer anything like Toshiba's three year accident protection plan though.
will this be Vista Capable [aka: no aero] or will it be Vista Ready.
details on the difference is:

if the T4210 (the model below) is anything to go on then this laptop is going to have 11-12 hours of battery life with two batteries installed. The documentation that I have read say that this laptop is fully vista compatable (so aero design enabled) and if you buy this laptop before i think it is march or something of 2007 then you will get a free coupon to upgrade it to vista premium for FREE....
If you buy this laptop from the official (going on T4210 again) fujitsu website shop then there is the option of buying 3 years of sceen cover. (they will replace the screen if broken up to twice a year for the three year coverage (able to get 1-3 years))
