Buying a Windows tablet before Windows 8 comes out? It's not a bad idea if you want the Windows 7 tablet features like running PC apps and handwriting recognition now and Fujitsu's Stylistic Q550 combines the power of Windows with a touch screen and s...

Fujitsu is pitching its latest Windows 7 tablet directly at the enterprise and business markets. That’s a wise move because Windows in its current form is never going to hold a candle to iOS and Android Honeycomb in terms of consumer usability. It also...

There’s no denying that the Q550 comes with all the bells and whistles and the digitising kit will appeal to some but the fundamental gutlessness of the underpinnings makes it hard for me to give it an unqualified recommendation. I’m not even sure tha...

Public attention may be focussed on the Apple iPad and other finger-operated touchscreen tablets, but there are still manufacturers dutifully making stylus-driven Windows tablets. The Stylistic Q550 is the latest Windows 7 tablet from Fujitsu and it's the...

Although Windows tablets have always been niche products, we still had high hopes for the Stylistic Q550 given its robust build and useful security features. However, unless security is of overriding importance we can't recommend the Q550 due to its hi...

Tablets are all the rage at the moment, but there's a big difference between a tablet for the everyday consumer such as the Apple iPad 2, and one that's aimed at the business community. Presently, Windows is the operating system of choice for business...

Infinity Lounge is a nice touch; good battery life...

No slot to store the digital stylus; slightly heavy.

The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 looks fine, but it's a bit heavy - and we'd have liked to see some sort of housing in the chassis for its stylus. Infinity Lounge has potential, though, and we'd like to see it expanded. The storage quota definitely needs a b...

As we've noted before, Windows is a far from ideal tablet operating system — but manufacturers continue to use it on their tablets, so there's clearly a market. Fujitsu's latest Windows 7 tablet is the 10.1in. Stylistic Q550. A relatively small and neat device...

We rather like the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550's overall design: it's not particularly eye-catching, but it is very functional — and although the tablet is on the heavy side, it ought to be robust. We appreciate the removable battery too, as this will help...

Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 is a tablet device designed for enterprise customers. It has to be said from the outset that the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 slate device is not intended for the consumer market - it's not in direct competition with the iPad or any An...

The Stylistic Q550 is an Intel 'Oak Trail' based tablet that runs Windows 7. It's designed for enterprise users and has lots of security features to prove it. It's not awfully fast and it can sometimes feel downright sluggish, but as Fujitsu told us: i...

The Stylistic Q550 works well as a Windows 7 tablet and boasts better security features than most other tablets, making it worth evaluating for business customers. However, its performance is only on a par with a typical netbook, and it's quite heavy...

Tweet Submit Design Fujitsu's pitch for the AU$1688 Stylistic Q550 is that it's a business machine, and, at least aesthetically, it's not adorned with much in the way of smooth curves or shiny metal. Measuring in at 275x192x16.2mm and weighing a min...

Reasonable battery life for a Windows 7 Tablet, Full Windows 7 functionality...

Expensive for such a slow performer, Windows 7 works with touch — but not well, Screen orientation will put you in a spin.

Businesses with very specific Windows 7 tablet needs may find some value in the Q550, but it's a very slow performer at a serious asking price that is otherwise easily passed over.
