Fujitsu Launches 12-inch Convertible Core i3 Tablet
Fujitsu this week revealed the Lifebook TH700, a convertible tablet packing Intel's Core i3 CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium and 4GB of DDR3.
Boasting a 12.1-inch, WXGA, LED backlight display (with a pen-and-capacitive-touch dual digitizer) on a bi-directional hinge; Intel's Core i3 (2.26GHz) processor; 4GB DDR3; 320GB of storage; a full size, spill-resistant keyboard; WiFi; and Bluetooth, the TH700 is an impressive machine, even if a 6-cell battery is a little disappointing. As far as aesthetics go, it's not exactly stunning but it's not ugly either, just a bit industrial looking.
Fujitsu rolled this one out pretty quietly and is offering a $50 rebate on top of the $1,149 starting price. It's available now from Fujitsu's website.
Any takers?

In fact, I got so frustrated I had to go buy an old Toshiba M200 to get decent screen resolution (1400x1050). It looks like my only solution is to go desktop and somehow find $2000 for a 21" Cintiq.
It is a bit of a shame. Manufacturers haven't realized that tablet pcs haven't caught on - few people realize how to use them for inking (or realize that it helps with professors when your screen is folded down and they can see you aren't on Facebook, checking email, or watching streaming video). Nor do they realize the potential for digital artists.
