New! The Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC with Core 2 Duo (pic, specs)

[Barry J. Doyle]

We have received information from an anonymous source detailing Fujitsu's newest addition to the T Series Tablet PC models. The Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC convertible features Core 2 Duo processor options, up to a 120GB hard drive and a whopping 4GB RAM limit. The successor to the popular T4210 looks to be a solid powerhouse.

At this time we have no images of the T4215, but we presume that the case and exterior should be almost if not completely identical to the T4210. Below is Fujitsu's product description, specs and pricing information.



"The familiarity and performance of a full function notebook complete with a modular bay, and the capability and versatility of a Tablet PC. Ideal for varying workforces that require flexibility in usage models.

Oh yeah? Well I heard that the Fujitsu Siemens model version doesn't come with the built-in breadmaker like the US version!

Bugger!!.....
How the heck am I going to get my morning toast done now.
Looks like I'll have to turn up the heat in the unit instead

Where's my firewire! Where's my firewire! I want my firewire!!!!

T4215 Photo Gallery - It hasn't changed much, same look as the T4210; it's the inside that counts - err, the processor is different.

There's no Firewire in this model, better hope it comes out in the model replacing this one.

And yes, there is an SXGA+ option, but it is not wide-angled; standard viewing angle of 89 degrees all around.

I don't think they dropped the Firewire when they made the transition to core duo with the T4200 just to put it back in later. A real shame.

If anyone is interested, according to PC Connection, this notebook has integrated graphics - Intel GMA 900.

Looks like I will wait for the Acer c210 - GeForce 7300!

For the US, at least. I checked the options, and there is in fact an SXGA+ option.

Tried checking Fujitsu Siemens (for ya'll in the Europe), but couldn't find anything as of yet.
