MISSISSAUGA, ON--(Marketwire - 10/19/09) - Combining the advantages of Windows(R) 7 with the latest trends in mobility, Fujitsu today expanded its line of LifeBook(R) laptops in North America, launching new ultra-thin notebooks, multi touch convertible tablets and desktop alternatives designed for business travelers and consumers.

Marketwire - LifeBook T4410 multi touch convertible tablet PC ...

With the attractively priced LifeBook T4410 convertible tablet PC for mobile professionals, available with multi touch/pen input or pen-only input, and the LifeBook T4310 convertible tablet PC for consumers and students, available with multi touch input, Fujitsu rounds out the industry's broadest tablet PC line. The thin and light systems with configurations starting at 3.9 and 4.2 pounds respectively and 12.1-inch wide displays offer unmatched flexibility with a modular bay and dual digitizer supporting two-finger touch. The dual digitizer delivers the ultimate experience by providing traditional pen-based input, as well as the ability to use two-finger touch to manipulate images, zoom into maps, and interact with the tablet PC in ways never before possible. The flexible bay allows users to configure the system the way they like -- whether adding a second battery for all day computing, an optical drive or second hard drive -- without changing the outside dimensions of the unit.

Measuring a little over an inch thin with an 11.6-inch display and weighing 3.5 pounds, the glossy, ruby red LifeBook P3010 ultra-thin notebook provides consumers with a light weight notebook that boasts big notebook features including a spacious keyboard and large display -- all at an affordable CAD$587 price.

Designed for students and consumers as a 15.6-inch HD display desktop replacement, the LifeBook A1220 notebook offers a choice of Dual Layer DVD or Blu-ray(TM) configurations while maintaining an attractive CAD$801 entry price tag. For users who are always on the go, the Fujitsu M2011 mini-notebook with a 10.1-inch LCD display and Intel(R) Atom(TM) N280 processor is refreshed with Windows 7 Home Premium and a larger 500 GB hard drive.

The new LifeBook P3010 notebook, a step up from a netbook, is designed for consumers who need a standard Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, full-sized keyboard and a larger, 11.6-inch display.
