We haven't reviewed anything from Fujitsu lately but this latest trio of tablets look most capable. As far as features and security aspects they seem to come very close to the Asus V1J we're currently reviewing. And our Flybook experiences make us love the tablet form factor! Here are some delectable details in the Australian Press Release.
Fujitsu Announces
3 New Tablet PCs Models
Fujitsu’s comprehensive range of
tablet-based computing companions designed to achieve new levels of
productivity.
Sydney
Australia, January 10 2007 – Fujitsu PC
Australia proudly announces three new tablet PC models offering new levels of
performance, mobility and control for virtually any consumer, business or
vertical application. From the ultra-portable LifeBook
P1610, to the classic clamshell LifeBook T4215, and the highly mobile
slate-based Stylistic ST5111/12, Fujitsu has the right tablet-based solution.
Amidst the evolutions and advancements of technology, Fujitsu’s hallmark
elegance and reliability stand firm, instilling in each of our valued customers
a sense of pride in owning a high quality and stylish
tablet PC.
The LifeBook
P1610
Hot on the trails of its
award-winning predecessor, the new LifeBook P1610 is set to be another winner in
the ultra-portable tablet PC sector. This hardly comes as a surprise,
considering that the ultra-svelte one-kilogram fashion statement is also
intelligently designed to fit the lifestyle of mobile trendsetters.
With a display of 8.9 inches, this
new LifeBook now comes with a WXGA transflective LCD suitable for any lighting
environment, indoors and out. The touch screen display allows control via the
complementary stylus or your fingertip, providing the perfect combination of
easy navigation and pen input to make this impressive machine even more
functional.
A truly versatile machine, consumers
can choose to use it as a normal notebook or convert it into a tablet PC simply
by swiveling the screen around in either direction thanks to the convenient
bi-directional hinge. The LifeBook P1610 is so stylish and adaptable, you will
need to remind yourself that you are not just toting around a style icon, but
also a powerful ultra-portable that lets you achieve more from virtually
anywhere.
For those who need a more
traditionally-sized notebook computer which retains all the benefits of the
tablet-enhanced mobile lifestyle, this is for you: the full-featured Intel®
Centrino® Core™2 Duo LifeBook T4215.
Following the successful release of
the innovative LifeBook T4210, this 12.1-inch refreshed tablet PC model caters
to consumers with an ever-increasing demand for higher processing powers,
especially in the business and education sectors. With speeds of up to 2.16GHz,
you can now do more with less. Create a dynamic Microsoft PowerPoint™
presentation while burning a large file onto CD or DVD, or work on a complex
spreadsheet while virus protection runs in the background, without slowing down
or consuming more energy than you normally would.
Naturally, as is the case for all
Fujitsu computing companions, attention to detail is important. The LifeBook
T4215 comes equipped with a hot swappable modular bay that allows you the
flexibility of shaving off weight or adding in an extra battery to increase
battery life while on the move. An industry-leading bi-directional hinge first
seen on the LifeBook T4210 caters for convenient screen-sharing in any
situation. You will even enjoy improved VoIP experiences with the integrated
dual digital array microphones, letting you clearly and seamlessly stay
connected with colleagues and family whenever you desire.
To fulfill the needs of particular
vertical business segments that require lightweight tablet PCs in a slate form
factor, the Stylistic ST5112/11 have been refreshed. Powered by Intel® Centrino®
Duo Mobile Technology, consumers can expect high performance with the latest
Intel® 945GM Express Chipset and a DDR2 memory module when working on this sleek
computer weighing only 1.6kg approximately, with battery life of up to 9 hours
(with optional long-life battery pack).
The Stylistic ST5112 comes with a
12.1-inch transmissive screen ideal for indoor viewing. It produces a high
contrast ratio and complements high definition graphic applications. Fitted with
a 10.4-inch reflective screen, the Stylistic ST5111 is perfect for outdoor
viewing. You can use it in bright daylight or dim indoor lighting without
straining your eyes as the screen comes with a front light guide that can be
switched on and off depending on your lighting
environments.
For true convenience, both models
are always ready for business. Upon returning to the office, simply place the
Stylistic on the included docking station and you automatically transform your
slate-based tablet PC into a fully functional work station, which is ready to
handle just about anything.
With an electromagnetic digitizer,
as found on the LifeBook T4215 and the Stylistic ST5112/11, you can write
directly on the screen with the accompanying stylus. Save time by taking down
notes on the tablet PC directly and turning them into a Microsoft Word™ document
instantaneously, or delight your friends with a personalised handwritten email.
Hard Disk Drive
Shock Sensor Utility (SSU)
Another unique feature found in all
three tablet PC models is the innovative three-dimensional shock sensor utility
(SSU) which is designed to decrease the risk of damage to the computer's hard
disk drive in the event of excessive impact or vibration. Upon detection of
imminent impact, the read-write head is safely parked, thereby eliminating the
chance of it impacting the spinning hard disk plate. In addition, the SSU has
the ability to improve the security of the notebook by automatically locking the
notebook with a password whenever movement is detected, while conveniently
offering full customizability to ensure this feature is only activated when
truly appropriate.
3-Level Security
Features
And as you would expect from any
Fujitsu computing companion, all three tablet PC models are designed with a
superb and comprehensive range of security solutions for true peace of mind.
Features include a BIOS lock, a HDD lock with two level password protection, a
Stylistic lock socket to physically secure your computer, the Trusted Platform
Module 1.2, a biometrically secure fingerprint sensor (not available on
Stylistic ST5111), and a dedicated smartcard slot (not available on LifeBook
P1610) to fully protect your valuable data.
Finally, in order to provide users
with cutting edge technology the entire range of tablet PCs are Windows Vista™
ready and can be fully upgradeable to this much anticipated operating system.
