Analysis Of Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Tablet PC Laptop Computer

Today in LaptopLogic's lab we have Fujitsu's LifeBook T5010. The T5010 is really a tablet notebook sporting some pretty useful functions, not least among them enough size and power to make use of the pc like a regular notebook. The Lifebook T5010 sports a modern Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 at two.40GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, and a 160GB HDD. This muscle, in concert with the 13.3" LED backlit display, provides the pc enough firepower rebuild more than "just" a tablet. About the flipside, the pounds and the battery life aren't quite as much as snuff for ultraportables, and you're paying a premium price for a tablet that tries to make it happen all.

The keyboard is complete sized and surprisingly comfy to type on for any laptop of this sizing, featuring a reasonably spacious 19mm pitch. There is no flex in the keyboard and the key stroke, while it is no ThinkPad, is nevertheless decent. The standard keys are all complete sized, even though predictably the non regular keys for example Fn and pg up/pg dn are a little shrunken. The only annoying part in all this was that home/end are now functions on the pg up/pg dn buttons, causing me much frustration as these are keys I use all the time and hitting that tiny Fn button isn't easy whilst touch-typing. The touchpad was a decent sizing and the buttons and scroll wheel were easy to use and responsive. Both the keyboard and the touchpad buttons were a small loud, but nothing intolerable.

The 1280x800 resolution is nothing to write home about, but it is not that bad for any tablet, and also the roomy 13.3" screen keeps viewing easy on the eyes. Also helping that case is the excellent general quality of the glossy show, which was bright and sharp, even though there was still some glare when viewed outdoors (for those who truly wish to avoid that, Fujitsu offers an indoor/outdoor display upgrade for $50). As might be expected from a tablet, the viewing angles about the show are excellent all the way around, only dimming slightly at extremes.

The T5010 has enough ports to obtain by, but nothing as well exceptional. There isn't any HDMI and ours did not come with WWAN, though you are able to upgrade to that so that you can.

Making spacious use of the entire rear housing, the back of the laptop from left to right has a usb port, an Ethernet jack, a hidden VGA port beneath a protective casing, another USB port, the modem jack along with a lock slot.

Fujistu gives you a couple of choices if you'd like to upgrade your LifeBook. If a energy saving P-series CPU isn't powerful enough for you, the laptop computer can sport as much as a two.8GHz T9600. It can handle as much as 4GB DDR3 RAM and also the difficult drive could be upgraded to as much as 250GB, or you are able to choose 64GB SSD.

The LifeBook T5010 is a tablet first and a laptop computer second, thus the most interesting features revolve around the tablet functionality. The touchscreen display has an active digitizer, ensuring that it will only respond to the Wacom stylus. The stylus has an right click button and an "eraser" about the back, permitting the user to simply flip the pen more than and erase errant text. There are also programmable Pen Flicks, allowing one to flick the pen in any of eight directions to perform a shortcut function like forward/back or copy/paste. Handwriting recognition was good to begin, and can be easily trained to your individual penmanship.
