Fujitsu is the latest entrant into the rather dormant tablet PC market. It is really sleek and snazzy, with loads of flaunt value! Your entry into a boardroom with this tablet PC is sure to turn heads! It comes in the slate form factor and hence features no keyboard (unlike a regular laptop) and runs Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. It is really slim and fairly light, so holding it in your hand should not be much of a problem. The added functionality that it brings due to the Tablet PC edition is the Windows Journal where, using the stylus, you can scribble notes even in a
hurry—perfect for those meetings when you can’t be bothered to type all you hear! As regards hardware, it’s fairly feature-packed, with a 1 GHz Pentium Mobile processor, 256 MB of DDR RAM, Wi-Fi, infrared, a modem, Gigabit Ethernet, MMC and Memory Stick reader, two USB ports, a microphone and a phone port. You can toggle the screen between portrait and panorama views. Speaking of the screen, once in the sun, no matter how much you squint your eyes or tilt the tablet, there is pre- cious little that you will be able to see. It is way too reflective, so any background light will surely reflect off it and make viewing things a pain. The tablet performed quite well on our tests with sequential read/write scores of 28/28 MB/s and Random read/write scores of 21/20 MB/s, and an average access time of 12 ms. The Business Winstone test score was 10.5, which is respectable for a 1 GHz processor. You have the option of getting a docking station and a wireless keyboard and mouse to facilitate your desktop needs. The tablet PC is handy—not to mention cool—for taking instant notes. If you are not too keen on taking down notes or have terrible handwriting, keep away from this—else, this tablet will not let you down!
