Articles about convertible tablet

I'm glad that people still care about convertible tablet PC's and manufacturers like Fujitsu still support this legacy format, that exists for a couple of years already. Their latest model, the Lifebook T580, was just announced by Fujitsu at IFA Berlin 2010 and packs a lot of punch in a 10.1 inch format. Practically you would buy the Fujitsu Lifebook T580 if you want a powerful but still portable laptop that's touch enabled. And speaking of touch, the Fujitsu T580 features a four finger multi to...

We've wrote quite a few words about the HP TM2 convertible tablet here at AllTouchTablet.com and now it's time to do that again with one of our favorites convertibles out there. HP is keeping good care of it, so it launched a new version that you can order with a Core i5 Low voltage CPU, so you get even better performance than before. Price remains the same at a little over 800 $, for which you get a Core i5-430UM CPU running at 1.2 GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 1.73 GHz, helped by 4 GB DDR3 RA...

There aren't too many convertible netbook tablets on the market today (see the list of netvertibles here) and any new product is welcome to increase the options consumers have. The Swift i-Touch by DTK is what you would call a typical netbook tablet, with a 10 inch screen (no idea if it's HD ready) and an Atom N450 CPU, helped by 1GB RAM (why not 2 GB is beyond my understanding), a 320 GB hard drive. Add to that a 1.3 megapixel camera, WiFi, optional 3G and you have a clear picture of what's goi...

Fujitsu is one of the veterans when it comes to convertible tablets, as they are advocates of this type of gadget for quite some time now. The only problem I see is that their tablet PCs are exactly what killed this format a few years ago: medium computing power devices with a very high price tag (think 2000 $). Things are about to change, as Fujitsu briefly introduced on their website the Fujitsu Lifebook TH700 convertible tablet PC. The first thing you'll notice is the 1099$ price tag (afte...

We've talked extensively about the HP TouchSmart TM2 convertible tablet here at AllTouchTablet, but we haven't really talked about its performance. Now, thanks to Engadget, who thoroughly tested the Core i3 version of the HP TM2 we can tell you more about what you can expect from it. This Ultra Low Voltage Core i3 TM2 currently retails for 939$ (or 929$ for the 7200 RPM HDD version) and offers pretty good bang for the buck, with a CPU that is powerful enough for multitasking freaks and doesn'...

I'm sure I've mentioned here once or twice the Gigabyte T1000 netvertible series, consisting of T1000P and T1000X models, both with similar configurations. Now that the dust has settled on the announcement news it's time to get to the real moment consumers are waiting: availability of the Gigabyte T1000P, which just now surfaced on Amazon.com for a pretty steep 699$ price. It's in preorder with availability starting July 1st. This puts it 200 bucks north of the ASUS EEE PC T101MT, the most im...

Panasonic is well known for its Toughbook series of laptops, some of the best rugged portable computers you can get today. Also Toughbooks are some of the most expensive, with pricing over 2000$ and reaching easily the 3000$ mark depending on configuration and options. The latest addition is one of the lightest rugged convertible tablets, the Panasonic CF-C1, which uses special materials to achieve a total weight of 1.46 kg (1.61 kg with a second battery). As of specs, the Panasonic CF-C1 is ...

Mike from Netbooklive.net got the Acer 1825PT tablet PC a few days ago and now he has posted a short user review with a video hands on of one of the most interesting options in 2010 when it comes to a tablet PC. Why I say interesting is because the Acer 1825PT offers good performance thanks to an Intel Low Voltage CPU, plenty of RAM and storage, a capacitive display, hardware QWERTY (very important for tablet PC productivity) and a moderate price around the 900$ mark (it hasn't yet landed in ...

Tablets are cool, in general, but not all types of tablets are gaining the 'respect' manufacturers want. Take convertible tablets for example: it's the old Tablet PC with a twist in the sense that hardware is updated, but it's the same concept, a very expensive one. Despite this fact Gigabyte is giving a try to the convertible tablet with the newly announced Gigabyte M1125 model, featuring the new Intel Core i3 ULV CPU (Calpella series) in a 11.6 inch form factor. This makes the Gigabtye M112...

We've wrote about the Fujitsu Lifebook T730 convertible tablet a few weeks ago, when it surfaced on FCC's website, but we didn't knew too much about it then. It's time now to take a deeper look at it, as it just surfaced on Fujitsu's website. As expected we have a quite powerful tablet with Core i5-520M CPU, Windows 7 Professional and 12 inch touch screen with active digitizer. All looks nice compared to the HP TouchSmart TM2, which just got upgraded to Core iX platform. All except price, whi...
