Fujitsu once advertised its Lifebook T580 Tablet PC as a "slate beater," and now's their chance to prove it. At long last, the device is available for order via Fujitsu's online store.
Pricing starts at $1,150 and includes:
- Intel Core i3 380UM processor
- 10.1-inch HD WXGA capacitive multi-touchscreen
- 2GB of DDR3 memory
- 160GB hard drive
- Wireless-N, Bluetooth
- Integrated webcam
- Windows 7 Professional.
For $1,400, Fujitsu bumps up the processor to an Intel Core i5 560UM. Either way, you won't find a wimpy Atom chip inside, which pushes this past "glorified netbook" territory.

Why would you get that at that price instead, of say a Thinkpad X201T or a Tm2t?

This looks almost identical to my HP Pavilion tx2500z tablet notebook that I bought in July of 2008 for $985. Plus, mine had 4GB of RAM and a 2.4Ghz AMD Dual Core Turion processor. Aside from having a slightly smaller screen and a newer processor, this is far from being a "new" design. I'm not impressed.

Ditto,
though honestly, considering D-ram prices, did they REALLY need to cheap out with only 2 gigs? or is this all that the board will support? becaue seriously, that's what it taes just to run win7 comfortably in most cases (IE with the usual bells and whistels turned on) not to mention the memory needed for the touch interface

Two weeks ago, I would have agreed completely. Last week, I loaded W7 on an older Fujitsu 4020 with only 1GB of RAM. It seems to do just fine running the touch interface, surfing the InterTubes and watching Netflix. I was surprised. I may still upgrade it to 2GB, but I am in less of a hurry now.
Otherwise, I will agree that 2GB seems anemic to load onto a new box. More memory is always better.

I really like the look of this. Now if only I can find one in the flesh to check out before pulling the trigger.
