Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
For users seeking a feature-packed ultraportable convertible with pen input, the LifeBook T580 is a pretty good option. However, the short battery life makes this $1,399 configuration difficult to recommend. Fujitsu should have included the larger battery at this price. For $300 less, the Gigabyte T1125N performs better and lasts longer on a charge, though it doesn't feature a pen. If you do decide to splurge on this laptop-tablet combo, be sure to get the larger six-cell battery. Or, if you don't need Core i5 power, get the $999 configuration of the T580 with a Core i3 processor and six-cell battery.

70% The Fujitsu Tablet strikes again

So my advice is that unless you're looking for a Tablet PC for a specific use - say, if you're a company that requires the workforce to input a lot of information on the go - you're better off looking around elsewhere.

Performance is limited by the low-power CPU and integrated graphics, but the convertible netbook works well for the usual productivity tasks and some online streaming video watching. The integrated Intel graphics definitely rule out any 3D gaming, but a netbook shouldn't really be used for that anyway. The SSD hard drive does speed up the system a little bit and you also get better battery life. Expect to get about 5-6 hours of battery life with this computer.

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 is a pretty intriguing system, but it needs to be slimmed down - both in bulk and in cost - to compete in a world of netbooks and iPads.

Fujitsu - Lifebook T580 review
Source: IT Reviews Archive.org version
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.

The Lifebook T580 is a highly portable laptop and its ability to convert into a tablet is neat. However, the lack of dedicated touch software and some minor limitations hold it back.

If you can't decide whether you should get a new laptop or opt for a tablet instead, maybe the Fujitsu LifeBook T580 could be the answer. 10.1-inch Fujitsu LifeBook T580 is a decent ultra-portable laptop, but it's less successful when you twist the screen and put it into tablet mode, due to its small screen and chunky dimensions.

The Lifebook T580 brings the convertible tablet down to a netbook form factor, but its default screen resolution makes it tricky to use the touch screen reliably, and the device is a little heavy for prolonged use holding in one hand. However, for users needing tablet and laptop functionality, the T580 offers these in a more portable format than most current convertible designs.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Fujitsu: Fujitsu is a Japanese technology group listed on the Nikkei 225 with origins dating back to 1935. Its products and services focus on information technology, telecommunications, semiconductors, networks, computer and communications products and advanced microelectronics.

In 1999, the cooperation with Siemens in the IT sector (servers, notebooks, desktop PCs, etc.) started under the Fujitsu-Siemens brand. 10 years later, this cooperation ended.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
