Product Code: VFY:T5800MF031GB The Fujitsu Lifebook T580 offers Windows 7 Tablet PC capability, but the price is too steep for what you actually get. Carrying around and using the Fujitsu Lifebook T580 illustrates everything that's right, and wrong...

The biggest down side, though, is the price. The base configuration, which includes 32-bit Windows 7, a fairly slow CPU, 4GB of RAM, and the 320GB hard drive, is nearly £1000. That's a really steep price for adding a touch interface. In the end, this...

If you can't decide whether you want a new netbook or a new tablet, then your eye might be drawn to the Lifebook T580 from Fujitsu. With a 10.1in, 1366x768-pixel screen, it fits the netbook side of things nicely - but those hankering after an iPad or...

While having some merits, the Fujitsu Lifebook T580 falls between stools. It's too heavy to be truly portable, but still a little small for practical work-based use - and somewhat lacking in features for most home users...

Tablet PCs are all the rage now but is there a place for a convertible Tablet notebook like the Fujitsu Lifebook T580? THERE is a real surge in Tablets these days thanks to the phenomenal success of Apple's iPad, but the idea of a slate-like touchsc...

A full operating system; built-in keyboard; decent performance; responsive multi-touch screen; included stylus.

Windows 7 still needs work for fingerbased navigation; screen could be better; expensive.

In the end, the T580 is kind of a jack of all trades but a master of none - as a low-power notebook, it performs reasonably well but it is a little too unweildy to be considered truly portable. As a Tablet, the screen is not quite up to snuff, and Win...
