Reviews for the Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook T4210

80% Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook T4210
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
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 Archive.org version
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 (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

12.10":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

Fujitsu-Siemens reviews

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
