Fujitsu's Lifebook T730 finally reaches UK

IF LIVING WITHOUT IT is just to much to bear you can now buy Fujitsu's tablet PC Lifebook T730 with a starting price of £1,078 excluding VAT from all good stockists of the Japanese company's goods.

Launched in May with US pricing, the 12.1-inch 1.8kg T730 has optional built-in GPS along with Windows 7 and an unspecified 2010 Intel Core processor, amount of RAM and SSD hard disk capacity.

But it has a - blimey look at that - twist-to-touch bi-directional screen. Along with the GPS, other options are a DVD drive, second battery, Blu-ray drive, additional HDD, embedded 3G/UMTS connectivity featuring GPS support, N-standard WLAN and 2.1 Bluetooth.

Fujitsu bravely claims for the tablet PC, "Even with a single battery, the Lifebook T730 offers all-day runtime, due to energy-saving features such as an integrated Ambient Light Sensor that automatically adjusts display brightness to the working environment."

It also offers biometric fingerprint logon and secure data encryption via an optional Trusted Platform Module. The computer also has Smartcard support.

Finally, for what is no doubt an insubstantial fee, users who literally can't live without the Lifebook can pay for Advanced Theft Protection that enables a lost or stolen T730 to be remotely locked, have its data erased and possibly even be recovered because it can tell the world where it is. µ
