Fujitsu's LifeBook line has produced some impressive contenders among tablet PCs, and the Fujitsu LifeBook T4410 rates as a solid and versatile performer for business users. With a glut ofmultitouch-friendly tablets (including the vaunted Apple iPad) promising to revolutionize the way we compute, it's easy to forget that convertible laptops have been around for a while now. The LifeBook T4410 ($1299 for the configuration we tested) may not match the low prices of those "other" tablets, but it has the advantage of being a fully functional laptop, too.
The T4410 houses a 2.2GHz T6670 Core 2 Duo CPU; 2GB of DDR3-1066 RAM; and a 160GB, 5400-rpm hard drive. Running Windows 7 Professional (32-bit), the T4410 earned a mark of 86 on our WorldBench 6 test suite. That's a scant three points higher than its older sibling, the Fujitsu LifeBook T5010, which ran Windows Vista Business edition on similar components. We timed the unit's battery life at almost 4.5 hours, putting slightly above the average for all-purpose laptops.
Like the T5010, the LifeBook T4410 is built for business. The screen's bezel accommodates a 2.0-megapixel Webcam, a pair of microphones, a fingerprint reader, a pair of speakers, a sliding power switch, and five customizable shortcut buttons. It looks a bit cluttered when you work in standard laptop mode, but the logic becomes clear when you fold the screen down, and everything remains readily accessible. The screen's orientation can be shifted with the push of a button--handy for switching from portrait to landscape mode, or for adjusting to suit left- or right-handed users.
