It looks like the Centrino 2 train just keeps on rolling, and Fujitsu's now hopped on board with six new LifeBooks in tow, including a pair of convertible tablets. That latter duo consists of the enterprise class LifeBook T5010, the successor to Fujitsu's T4220, and the slightly less security minded LifeBook T1010, both of which boast 13.3-inch displays and all the usual Centrino 2-related goodies. On the non-convertible front, Fujitsu has the 15.4-inch LifeBook A6210 (pictured above), the Centrino 2 vPro-supporting LifeBook E8420, and a pair of thin-and-light 14-inchers, the LifeBook S6520 and LifeBook S7220, each of which weigh in around four pounds. From the looks of it, the whole lot is available now, with the exception of the vPro editions of the LifeBook T5010 and LifeBook E8420, which are set to follow in 30 days.
This is a bit off topic, and I'll probably get low ranked, but does anyone know a good laptop with good specs that comes around 5 hundred dollars?
I guess I'm not the only one who sees a comment start off with:
"This is a bit off topic, and I'll probably get low ranked" and automatically low ranks it...
Where can I get that wallpaper?
I agree, Also Where is it taken, Switzerland?, Austria?,
Nice, but is Fujitsu even a good brand?
I did a bunch of research a few years ago when I bought my first tablet PC; I just wanted the best quality tablet, price was secondary. I found that Fujitsu is a great brand. They are the leader in making pen-sensitive displays and have been doing it forever, even before Windows supported a tablet mode. Their computers have a very good fit-and-finish, they feel strong, they are fully featured but still light, and they have excellent specs. They are a bit more expensive than average, though.
I bought the T4010 (a predecessor to the above mentioned T5010), and I have been very happy with it. It has never had any problems and I even dropped it once from table height by accident, but the computer kept on humming. I highly recommend Fujitsu.
I'm writing now to ask if there's any news of a successor to the 1610, which was the 1510's successor.
@ShadowKain: Fujitsu's brand recognition in the US doesn't match its reliability and its popularity outside the US. I've got a 1510 and it's excellent. The 1610's even better -- with more screen area. Great tablet, and amazing (7 hour) battery life with the extended battery. Super light, as laptops go.
