We recently spent some time with the Fujitsu Lifebook T4310 convertible Tablet PC. Fujitsu have a long history of Tablet PCs, and the Fujitsu T4310 introduces Multi-Touch for the first time.

The T4310 is one of the most versatile convertibles around, and it comes with Windows 7 professional which certainly makes your Tablet PC experience far more powerful.

Take a look at the Fujitsu Lifebook T4310 Multi-Touch Convertible Tablet PC video review below.

We came across a Viliv S5 UMPC user who posted a series of Videos on YouTube showing how he uses the S5.

Note that he has Windows XP Tablet PC edition installed on the system. The Viliv comes out of the box with the Windows XP Home and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is not available direct to the general public. If you like the idea of using the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) on the Viliv S5 you can run Windows 7 on it. It is tricky to install windows 7 on the S5, so if you aren’t an advanced user we recommend using professionals (like us).

This series of videos will give you some ideas of how you can use the S5.

We can upgrade these to Windows 7 for you. We can also ship with software such as Microsoft Office 2007 pre-installed. Contact us for an all inclusive quote.

We carry only Australian stock with an Australian warranty. Whilst you will find that some companies will in ship direct from overseas, there is no local warranty support available for them. The cost of shipping the unit back and forth overseas if you have any issues will soon suck up any savings that you might make. So do yourself a favour and buy locally from us.

To order, fill out the contact form on the Viliv S5 page of our website here and we will get in touch.

We finally got around to reviewing the multi-touch HP Tx2! The Tx2 has been a very popular Tablet PC and it is introducing many newcomers to the wonders of touch computing.

The HP Tx2 is a great way to get into Tablet PCs for a very good price. While most full sized 12” Tablet PCs are selling for over AU$3000, the Tx2 is under $2000.

Best of all, it’s packed with goodies like the iPhone style multi-touch capacitive touch screen.

We’re looking forward to trying out Windows 7 on this machine! Roll on Tablet PC air-hockey and finger painting.

Making the decision to switch to a Tablet PC is not easy for some people. Will you really use the tablet and pen features? It’s hard to know until you really get to use one for a decent period of time. It’s a leap of faith…

If you decide that a digital pen is not for you, then you could be left with an expensive machine that you don’t use to the full. For the same money you could have bought an awesome laptop.

Fortunately, Toshiba have produced a Tablet PC for people with commitment issues!

It’s the M700 convertible Tablet PC with a built in DVD burner. It’s really built to be a small portable notebook, and the Tablet PC features are an added bonus.

So with the M700, even if you never use the Tablet features, you will be left with a powerful and capable laptop.

The Toshiba M700 is definitely not as sexy as the R400, but it is a little more practical. For instance, the M700 does away with the R400s glossy screen. This screen has a matte finish to reduce glare.

It’s a little bit chunkier than the R400 due to the inclusion of the DVD drive. But it is remarkably light considering its size.

So if you’re looking to make the jump to a Tablet, but you’re not quite sure, this may be the Tablet PC to get you over the line.

I demonstrated the Motion F5 Tablet PC for a large warehouse this week. So while I was in demonstration mode,  I thought I’d put together this video review.

Overall, the F5 is a very impressive Tablet PC. For applications like logisitcs, warehousing, manufacturing and construction this Tablet must be on your list to evaluate.

Please note that the Mobile Broadband option on the US model is EVDO and it’s locked to Sprint. The Australian version includes UTMS and HSDPA and it’s not locked to any carrier. So if you want a LE1700 and you plan to use it in Australia, don’t make the mistake of buying the US model.
