Value at the Left End of the Curve: Fujitsu T4220 |
 |
Not all
tablets are created equal. This isn't kindergarten t-ball, where
every players a winner. No, the technology still on the left edge
of the technology curve-the newish end-so it's not something you
can buy into on the cheap and expect to get quality. But you can
get value if you pay a little more. In today's case, value is
synonymous with the Fujitsu T4220. |

At slightly
under $1,900 retail with features described in this article, the
Fujitsu T4220 packs much of the same stuff that you'd expect from
a traditional laptop at this price range. It's an Intel Core 2
Duo computer (the T7300 with 2GHz) on the Santa Rosa chipset with
2GB of memory, which is right down the middle these days for
Vista-based computers. The hard drive isn't gigantic, at 100GB,
but it'll do. The accessibility options are not too shabby either. Bluetooth, smart card, optical, 3-in-1 card reader, VGA, USB, wireless-the Fujitsu T4220 has 'em. It's got a DVD writer optical drive. And for business types-whose laptops usually start at this end of the price range-it's got a fingerprint reader to make your IT department happy. While we're on the topic of security, the Fujitsu T4220 also comes with two locks-one on the front side and the other on the space-saved/topical drive slot, to protect whatever you happen to store in there. But let's get to the truly fun part of Fujitsu T4220-it's a tablet, remember? With tablets, users tend to cradle the computer in their hands. With that in mind, the Fujitsu designers placed fabric swatches on the bottom of the computer, in places where your delicate skin would be likely to contact the chassis. That way, you don't get the sweats when the core heats up. Perhaps the second most important part of a tablet, its hinge, is unlike any in the business. It allows double-directional movement, meaning you can rotate the 12.1 inch display any way you like. The first most important part of a tablet, the screen, is also stellar. With resolution capability up to 1400 x 1050, it wields a mighty colorful palette. But forget colors. How easy is it to scribble on it? From the reports I've heard, the pen writes as smoothly on it as if you're writing on paper. It even comes with an eraser!
