It took awhile for Fujitsu’s Lifebook T580 to hit a US market, but during final, a 10.1-inch, three-pound Tablet PERSONAL COMPUTER has landed upon this side of a Atlantic. The netvertible, if we can even call it which, is about dual the cost of the usual automobile netbook, as well as for great reason — a scheme eschews Atom for Core i3 / i5 processor options as well as also has an capacitive arrangement with an N-trig digitizer, that can await both coop and finger submit. The $1,149 “Express Buy” representation packs the Core i3-380UM processor, 2GB of RAM, 160GB of storage, and the 5,800mAh six-cell battery, while starting on up to a Core i5-560UM CPU adds an extra $250. The T580 sure does appear to fill a flattering niche market these days, which is why we’re guessing Fujitsu forsaken the early “slate-beating” descriptor, but there’s got to be a little out there that still wish the energy of the mainstream system in a shrunken Tablet PERSONAL COMPUTER form cause, right?
