The T4215 is classed as a ‘convertible’ form factor, meaning it can be used as either a normal notebook PC, or flip the screen over and use it as a tablet PC. Fujitsu do make a number of ‘slate’ form factor Tablets, which have no keyboard and can only be used in Tablet mode, but the T4215 gives the best of both worlds, albeit suffering a small weight disadvantage over its slate brothers.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 at the heart of the T4215 sure gets this thing up and running, coupled with the 2GB RAM and Serial ATA Hard Drive, even your more intensive applications will be open in a heartbeat and run smoothly all day. The T4215 gets a score of 3470 in PCMark05, compare this to a 1.86Ghz PM-740 with 1.5GB of RAM that I’m using right now that only gets a score of 2336, the T4215 certainly has some power. Excelling particularly in compression and encryption tests, as well as web page rendering, which shows the CPU and file system is light years ahead of the old technology in my current notebook.

The 3D performance though is almost non-existent, using integrated Intel Graphics this is certainly no games machine, and won’t be running Aero under Vista. 2D Performance is reasonable, but certainly not brilliant by any means, but good graphics performance is just not what a tablet PC is all about, it’s all about the screen...
