Default A Look at the Fujitsu Lifebook T580

http://www.laptopmag.com/review/lap...ebook-t580.aspx

"Fujitsu's LifeBook T580 convertible notebook caters to a niche market segment looking for the functionality of a standard ultraportable notebook with the slick interface of a tablet PC. The unit's rotating 10-inch display folds flat over the nearly full-size keyboard, providing users with a dual digitizer display that can be used with an active stylus and up to four fingers"

If you like tablets, but do not want to give up your keyboarding skills, convertible notebooks still exist.  Fujitsu has just released their LifeBook T580 to the masses and while it is not quite as light or cheap as a tablet, it offers much more punch than your typical slate.  In the same size as a netbook, it is a bit beefier, but do not expect workstation performance for such a wee device.  I would also question the tablet mode's utility.  While Windows 7 does have support for touchscreens, including multi-touch, the whole Windows 7 interface is much more appropriate for traditional use, and some links are bound to be tiny on the small screen.  Does anyone use a convertible like this?  Is it worth the cost?
