There are only a handful of systems that make the grade when it comes to convertible tablets. With its combination of portable frame, built-in optical drive, and dual-core processor, the Fujitsu LifeBook T4210 ($2,349 direct) passes with flying colors. It's the sort of system that makes sense to have in your daily life, whether you're picking up the digitizer pen to sketch on the screen or flipping the screen around to type on the full-size keyboard. Weighing a mere 4.7 pounds, the T4210 was small and light enough for me to carry on my daily commute, unlike the Gateway M285-E, whose 14-inch display made it too big to lug around the city.

Fujitsu’s long-running LifeBook series of convertible PCs has always enjoyed strong ergonomics and good weight-performance ratios, squeezing a fair amount of speed and functionality into tight packages. The company does not stray from its reputation: All of the familiar strengths and weaknesses of the Fujitsu line continue in this latest iteration, the T4210. Like other recent LifeBooks, the T4210, a 4.3-pound system with a 12.1-inch display, has an exceptional keyboard for its size. The layout is extremely spacious, with full-sized Shift and Backspace keys.

Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook T4210 Review
Source: Tablet PC Review
The Fujitsu T4210 is an exceptionally fast, high-performance Tablet PC in a small package. While we would prefer the "indoor" display option, the T4210 has been a pleasure to use. With its acceptable "real world" standard battery life, top-grade build quality and exceptional built-in security, the T4210 can make a great choice for the mobile professional and student alike. By taking the money you might put towards the indoor/outdoor display option and purchasing the modular bay extended battery instead, you would have a wonderful Tablet PC. Fujitsu's unsurpassed support and quality are a considerable part of the package that all consumers should be aware of.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an onboard integrated video chip and can be called a faster clocked GMA 900 (on Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset, which is available only starting with Core Duo/Solo). 2006 it is the most often used graphics solution and is classified in the weakest third of mobile graphics solutions. So it can only be used for elder games. For office applications and surfing it is without any doubt sufficient.

Intel Core Duo: Intel Core Duo (successor of Pentium M), is a double core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used common. The maximum current consumption of 31 Watts is only 4 W more then with Pentium M. Due to the low energy need is Core Duo also suited for subnotebooks. Further now it supports SSE3 orders. The performance can nearly be doubled for applications, which were designed for multiprocessors (compared with Pentium M).

12.1": This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

2.2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
