The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 Windows tablet will start shipping this spring for less than $800, the company has announced.

The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 has an Intel Atom Oak Trail processor, a 10.1 inch IPS display with wide viewing angles and Windows 7 Professional operating system. It isn’t quite cheap, but it does have a few premium features that kind of justify its price tag. The tablet, for example, supports full disk encryption and has a fingerprint sensor and SmartCard reader. It also has WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, optional 3G and GPS. The capacitive multitouch display is designed to accept both pressure-sensitive pen and finger inputs.

The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 also has 2GB of memory, a USB 2.0 port, an SD card slot, HDMI port, headphone jack and a dock connector. It will be available with a 2-cell or 4-cell removable battery and 30GB or 62GB of SSD.

The Fujitsu Lifebook T580 convertible tablet style netbook has hit the US. The T580 has a 10.1 inch display. It is not cheap. In fact, it costs almost double the price of a regular convertible and for good reason.
The system comes with Core i3 / i5 processor options. It also has a capacitive touchscreen display with an N-trig digitizer which supports both pen and finger input.

The $1,149 ‘Express Buy’ model has an Intel Core i3-380UM processor, 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive storage and a 5800mAh six cell battery. If you are willing to shell out an extra $250, you can get the Core i5-560UM processor.

Fujitsu had earlier described the convertible tablet as ‘slate beating’.That description has been dropped probably because Fujitsu has realized that a 10 incher costing as much as a mainstream laptop isn’t going to break many sales records.

The Fujitsu Lifebook T580 doesn’t look all that different from a typical convertible tablet style netbook, but it is ridiculously pricey.

I don’t know if LifeBook T580 is the costliest mini-laptop from Fujitsu. Chances are it is. Netbook News.de reports that the Fujitsu LifeBook T580 will sell for up to 1599 Euros. That is about $2200 US.

So what do you get for your money? Well, the LifeBook T580 has a 10 inch display that can be folded down over the keyboard for use in the tablet mode. The netbook will be available in many configurations. The product listing for a model available at a German retailer has a 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It also has an active digitizer for pen input. This particular model is powered by an Intel Core i5-560UM processor with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB, 7200 rpm hard drive. It runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The laptop also has WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G and a 6-cell, 5800mAh battery.

The Fujitsu LifeBook T580 will reportedly go on sale in Germany by the end of this month. No word on pricing or availability in the US.

Fujitsu has announced a new convertible tablet style netbook. The Fujitsu LifeBook T580 is available with up to a Core i5 processor, optional 3G and GPS and plenty of security measures. Fujitsu calls its T580 ‘slate-beating’. That claim perhaps comes from the fact that the T580 is a convertible netbook which can be used like a tablet by folding the display down over the keyboard.

The LifeBook T580 has a 10.1 inch display that supports multitouch. While most of the specifications are reasonably impressive, there are a few downers too, the biggest among them being the resistive touchpanel.

The LifeBook T580 weighs 3 pounds. It will reportedly get around 8 hours of battery life. No word on pricing at the moment, but the netvertible is expected to hit the streets in November.

The Fujitsu LifeBook PH520 has started shipping. The device sports an 11.6 inch HD display with 1366 x 768 pixels. Like other Fujitsu notebooks, the PH520 is costlier than its competition.

The Fujitsu LifeBook PH520 is powered by a 1.7GHz AMD Athlon II Neo K125 processor. It runs Windows 7 Professional. Other specifications include 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 320GB hard drive, Ethernet, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, 3 USB ports, HDMI, a flash card reader and a spill resistant keyboard. The notebooks comes standard with a 5800mAh battery. Prices start at $599.
