Page 3 of 4 The main drawcard of the LifeBook T2010 is its screen. The 12.1” widescreen LCD runs at a resolution of 1280x800 (or 800x1280 depending on orientation) which is a very high resolution for such a small screen, and as such the quality and clarity of the picture is excellent as well as the viewing angle, which one of the best I’ve seen in a notebook screen (Fujitsu claim an 80degree view angle from all directions). One problem with the screen is that it’s covering is so shiny and glossy that it does a frustratingly excellent job of showing off any fingerprints, and seeing as it’s a tablet screen your hands are going to be touching it a lot, so it requires constant cleaning. Screen Turned 90 Degree  Turned 180 Degree  The digitiser which overlays the screen is made by Wacom, just like on all other Fujitsu Tablet PCs. Wacom are famous for their range of graphics tablets and the digitiser on the T2010 uses nearly identical technology to what is used in their graphic tablets, so you know it’s going to perform well and be reliable. The response of the screen to the pen’s movements is excellent and the great part is that the pen/stylus is battery-free, while still retaining features such as pressure sensitivity and additional buttons, so it should work forever and never need replacing – unless you lose it. Battery Free Stylus  In Operation - Tablet Mode  Around the screen there are several buttons to give you a bit more functionality when using the T2010 in full tablet mode. There are 5 hotkeys which can either be shortcut keys or can perform certain system functions, such as rotating screen, or simply pressing enter. The fingerprint reader provided on the bottom of the screen also acts as a mouse scroll wheel when in tablet mode. Hotkeys Next to Screen  Fingerprint Reader  The LifeBook T2010 is loaded with Windows Vista Business edition, which hinders it’s performance a little bit over what it could do with Windows XP, but the performance is still very acceptable, thanks in a big way to the large of memory that is standard in the T2010 (standard 2GB). There are a few little Fujitsu tools that also come pre-installed but nothing too interesting, it’s actually quite a plain install of Vista. There is a trial version of Microsoft Office 2007 Professional that will work for 60-days, after which you have to pay for it to be activated into the full version, certainly an interesting marketing technique by Microsoft for such an expensive software package.
