Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 Reviewed By CNET

lifebook_p1610_.gifFujitsu LifeBook P1610 is a 8.9 inch widescreen Tablet PC featuring Intel Core Solo 1.2GHz processor reviewed by CNET recently. Reviewing Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 CNET gives it 5.7-out-of-10 rating and writes:”About the size of a thick paperback, the LifeBook P1610 measures 9 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep (7.5 inches with the optional extended-life battery), and 1.3 inches thick. At 2.2 pounds, it’s by far one of the smallest and lightest convertible tablets we’ve seen. The Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 combines the best features of ultramobile PCs (tiny size, easy-to-use touch screen) and convertible tablets (an attached keyboard, laptop-caliber performance). As with most hybrid technologies, however, the LifeBook P1610 forces you to make some compromises: its tiny keyboard makes extensive typing a challenge, and–though we’d like to carry the P1610 with us all day long–its battery life isn’t enough to last through a full day of work. Also, the P1610’s tiny case can’t accommodate the latest dual-core processors, leaving it to trail behind larger convertibles, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet, when it comes to performance. Despite these faults, the LifeBook P1610 remains the best choice on the market for users who want more features than a smart phone in a still-portable size. If you can carry a little extra bulk and weight, though, we highly recommend the faster (and less expensive) ThinkPad X60 Tablet.”lifebook_p1610.gif
