Here’s a slightly eccentric video intro of the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 from Fujitsu’s design engineer Meinolf Althaus.
We’re chasing up pricing and availability for Australia. We’ll let you know when we have more!
Welcome back to the slate game Fujitsu!
They seem to “get” Tablet PCs in Germany. Here is a great product review of the Fujitsu Lifebook T900 from Fujitsu in Germany. Katrin really shows off some of the key features of Tablet PC productivity like Pen Flicks and inking on office documents.
In our opinion, the Lifebook T900 is the top of the range convertible Tablet PC with it’s 13.3” screen and Intel Core i7 processor. It’s not as portable as a slate Tablet PC, but it comes with the convenience of both a powerful laptop and the input flexibility of Wacom Touch / Active Digitizer Tablet PC.
We now have the entire Fujitsu Lifebook range available for demonstrations all over Australia. That includes the Lifebook T900, TH700 and TH550. Call us for a time on 03 9999 1601.
Whilst rugged slate Tablets are not necessarily shiny consumer toys it’s good to see them getting some mainstream press coverage at CES 2011.
Here’s Motion Computing’s Mary-Anne Gunn on USA today with the CL900:
If you’re waiting for a personal slate tablet PC that is powerful enough and large enough to replace your laptop, then your wait is over!

Ok, so we’ve been a little bit enamoured with the new Motion CL900 this week, but the good news is that Motion Computing are not the only company showing of slick, lightweight slate Tablet PCs like we’ve always imagined they could be!
Our other favourite Tablet PC manufacturer – Fujitsu – has informally announced that they too have some slates on the way. The as yes unnamed Fujitsu slate will run Intel’s new Oak Trail Tablet processor and will weigh around 700 grams!
Fujitsu only recently dropped their Stylistic slate tablet PC series, so it’s good to see them coming back to the slate form factor with some innovative products.
