Fujitsu has a new convertible notebook they’ve announced today which they are touting as the smallest and lightest pen-enabled device of its kind. The LifeBook P1500 series is available with a base configuration price of $1,499.
The P1500 series weighs in at 2.2 pounds, sports a compact 8.9†wide SVGA touch screen display and measures 9.3†x 6.57†1.36â€-1.46â€. It is powered by Intel’s Pentinum M Processor Ultra Low Voltage 753 and its 915GMS chipset can accept up to 1GB of system memory. Other features include battery life of up to seven hours, shock mounted hard drive in 30GB and 60GB sizes and a biometric fingerprint swipe sensor.
“PDA-type devices have challenging attributes such as small screen and minimal storage along with other constraints, and small tablets force consumers to relinquish the keyboard, which many find unacceptable,” said Paul Moore, director of mobile product marketing, Fujitsu Computer Systems. “The LifeBook P1500 notebook is a full-blown touch screen PC that converts into slate format, delivering the mobility of a small device, but without any tradeoffs. The LifeBook P1500 notebook breaks new ground in mobile computing by offering today’s mobile culture a single device that works in all environments.”
