The latest addition to Fujitsu Australia's convertible tablet PC range is the LifeBook T2010. Designed for the executive on the road, this Lifebook sets new benchmarks with its creator claiming the T2010 is the world's lightest A4 convertible tablet. The 1.53 kg laptop offers a 12.1-inch widescreen touch display and offers an impressive battery life of up to 11 hours with an optional 9-cell battery. Which will of course make it weigh more than the 1.53kg we quote in our headline, but Fujitsu says you will get 9 hours with the standard battery, which is a pretty good days work anyway. The 12.1-inch Wide XGA display has an 80/80/80/80 wide viewing angle and 300nits brightness, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor viewing. The convertible design features a bi-directional hinge so the device transforms easily from tablet to notebook. Don't get he idea though, that this convertible is slim because it weighs only 1.53kg. A quick look at the specifications below will reveal the thickness of this device is still 3.4cm. The hard drive is proetected by a 3-axis Shock Sensor to reduce the risk of data loss from bumps and bruises. Other built-in safety measures like the BIOS Lock, Hard Disk Lock, LifeBook Lock, Smartcard Support and Anti-Theft Lock slot ward off intrusion of any kind. The Fingerprint Recognition Technology makes access to data so effortless that you simply have to swipe your pre-registered fingerprint for access to your encrypted information instantaneously. These features are extremely beneficial to mobile and healthcare executives who depend heavily on the use of confidential data for their work. "In Australia, Fujitsu PC has gained industry and consumer confidence, and will always be committed in being the performance leader within the convertible ultra-portable tablet PC innovation. Ultimately, anyone can go the distance and enjoy the freedom of movement with the new LifeBook T2010" says Mr David Niu, Product Manager, Fujitsu PC Australia.
