Articles about convertible tablet

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...

Remember the HP TouchSmart TM2? It's one of the best tablet PCs you can buy today and it's priced conveniently at under 900 $ for the base version with an Intel ULV CPU and a fast 7200 RPM hard drive. It's cheaper than a fully fledged touch tablet like the Lenovo X201T that will set you back around 2000$ and is more powerful than a netbook tablet PC.Now it will be even more powerful thanks to the addition of Core i3 and i5 processor upgrades, slated sometime this summer. It's not official ye...

Remember the Acer Aspire 1825PTZ and 1825PT? Many said it would be just like the 1820PT, a product that never really showed up in stores, but the second time it seems Acer did a good job and managed to ship the product in time, so Aspire 1825PTZ just got unboxed somewhere in Germany.To recall things a bit, Acer Aspira 1825PTZ is a convertible tablet powered by an Intel Ultra Low Voltage CPU, the SU4100 (dual core) and features a capacitive multi touch display with 11.6 inch diagonal and 720p...

Netvertible is a term that defines a convertible tablet PC with netbook hardware inside. It's not an official term, but this also happens with touch tablets, which don't have really an official naming yet. A netvertible is the best choice when it comes to buying a tablet PC shaped computer with the advantages that derive from the netbook specifications: size, battery life and price. To be frank with you there are also downsides to a netbook tablet PC and the biggest is performance, or the lack o...

UPDATE: It's really shipping and the stock is running low already.It seems that finally the long awaited ASUS EEE PC T101MT convertible netbook tablet is here. I've just seen it on Amazon for 498.5$ (specs are scarce and no picture is provided so it might not be yet in stock), which is a very competitive price compared to Lenovo S10-3t. If you want to read more about it you can do it here on our first review with a faulty sample or the second review here with the final product. Alternatively...

After announcing the T900 convertible tablet, Fujitsu was working hard on the smaller brother, T730 tablet, which just surfaced on FCC's site. We don't know yet too many specs about it (actually we know nothing beside its name) but we have a schematic with the bottom of the tablet. I know it's not much, but it gives an idea about what we're dealing with here.Unfortunately it seems it's the same square-ish design from Fujitsu which we don't particularly like, that's also found on the T900.  ...

I'm sure you remember our review of the ASUS EEE PC T101MT, the first and the second part, as it is one of the most anticipated netbook convertible tablets (or netvertibles), announced many months ago and previewed by many publications. Of course, the question is: when will it ship and at what price point?Today I'm thrilled to say it's going to be soon, in April, for a very user friendly 499$. There's a downside to this, of course: it ships with Windows 7 Starter, which will annoy some of yo...

I've told you last week about the Acer 1825PT and 1825PTZ convertible tablets the surfaced the web in a list of specs and now it's time to face the second one in a long and artistic video preview. This preview is intended, I believe, to showcase the construction and screen interaction with the capacitive screen.Also in the video below there is a portion that shows how various apps run on the Acer 1825PTZ powered by the Intel SU  7300 Ultra Low Voltage CPU, which does a much better job then ...

We wrote yesterday about the Viliv S7 convertible tablet with a 7 inch screen and in past we've mentioned its bigger brother, the Viliv S10 Blade, now it's time to see how it fares in real life as it was already tested by some sites including UMPC portal and JKK Mobile.Of course they tested the high end model, with a 2 GHz Atom CPU and 64 GB SSD drive, which helps move things a lot faster than the 1.3 GHz of the Viliv S7 Atom Z CPU.Let's begin by enumerating the models of Viliv S10 Blade...

Finally a product we haven't talked about yet: the Viliv S7 convertible tablet. It's not in the same league as the Asus EEE PC T101MT and Lenovo S10-3t, mainly because it features a smaller 7 inch screen with the same number of pixels (1024 x 600) as the two mentioned before. Hardware specs are somehow at the same level of performance because of the Intel Atom CPU.If portability is what you seek, then you can't get something better and cheaper than the 799 grams Viliv S7 that offers up to 9....
