Fujitsu Siemens Computers introduces a stylish and affordable Tablet PC for students

Modern Tablet PC technology at a reasonable price makes the LIFEBOOK T1010 especially attractive for beginners


Munich, August 21, 2008 —

Fujitsu Siemens Computers introduces a brand new, fully equipped tablet PC at a price starting at €1199 (excluding VAT), making it an affordable option for beginners. The LIFEBOOK T1010 proves that low cost is not at the expense of performance, with series of features that make, for example, students’ lives much easier: The days of illegible hand-written scripts, tedious microfiche research and hours spent searching for information are over. Today's students are more networked and connected than ever before – and view the PC or notebook as a natural aid in their day-to-day learning.

 

The brilliant 13.3-inch display with passive digitizer makes it comfortable to work with for any application. The screen also reacts to touch for those who prefer to use their hands instead of the digitizer. Automatic handwriting recognition, as well as the option for handwritten entries, is another highlight for students: notes or manuscripts as well as hand-written mindmaps or comments on PFF files can all be digitalized instantly and can be re-accessed or reused easily. The display can be rotated in both directions, making it easy to work in a group and ensuring perfect handling – no matter what the circumstances.

 

The LIFEBOOK T1010, equipped with the latest Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology or an Intel® Celeron® processor, is a powerful, as well as a stylish, companion. The convertible notebook has an appealing modern white look with additional design extras such as chrome cover hinges. If frosty white is too monotonous, users can personalize and restyle their tablet PC by selecting from a wide range of design skins. The design skins – developed by "DeinDesign" – are high quality individually printed vinyl, tailored exactly to the size of the LIFEBOOK T1010 and ready to use. Thanks to a glossy surface and an anti-abrasion covering, they not only look stylish, they also provide protection against scratches and blemishes.

 

The younger target group of the LIFEBOOK T1010 appreciates the combination of harmonized accessories. For that reason, Fujitsu Siemens Computers provides a fashionable backpack, matching the design of the notebook, and a small, easy-to-handle mouse.

 

Fujitsu Siemens Computers also provides a high-end version in the LIFEBOOK T series for those who need more than the entry-level device. The LIFEBOOK T5010 offers a number of features that are in high demand in the professional environment. Integrated high-speed-3G/UMTS provide full connectivity while on the move. A TPM module, the integrated fingerprint sensor and a SmartCard reader ensure full data security. Thanks to the stable magnesium lid and the spill-proof keyboard, the hard disk is also protected against all types of accidents. If any technical questions arise, the LIFEBOOK T5010 can be administered remotely at any time using the latest Intel® vPro technology. Weighing only 2 kg, the LIFEBOOK T5010 is one of the lightest fully equipped tablet PCs in the world.

 

“With its new generation of Tablet PCs, Fujitsu Siemens Computers underlines once again its innovative power as a market leader in this product segment,” says Andreas Thimmel, Senior Vice President Volume Business for Fujitsu Siemens Computers. “The LIFEBOOK T series mirrors the whole range of our users’ requirements – be it in the business world or in the beginners’ field. We regard the LIFEBOOK T1010 above all as an important investment into our long-term commitment to education and making modern IT accessible to teachers and students .”

 

The LIFEBOOK T1010 is available from local retailers beginning at the end of August at a price starting at €1199 (excluding VAT). Prices for the LIFEBOOK T5010 start from €1599 (excluding VAT).
