Topics
The new tablet is available with an Intel Pentium M 725 or 745 processor, up to 2GB of RAM, a 40GB or 80GB hard drive, and an improved 12.1-inch XGA display that Fujitsu said delivers a 180-degree viewing angle. Other standard features include a modem and Ethernet adapter, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11b/g, two USB 2.0 ports, and Type II and Secure Digital slots. For users who need to perform a lot of dictation, the tablet offers dual microphones with noise-cancellation technology.
The T4000's modular bay is compatible with several optional components, including a DVD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, multi-format DVD burner, and second battery. With the latter, the tablet can run for up to 8.5 hours, Fujitsu claimed. Other options for the tablet include a Bluetooth radio and a port replicator.
The T4000's security features consist of a Kensington lock slot, dedicated SmartCard slot, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) -- the latter an embedded security system designed to protect data from unauthorized users.
Fujitsu's standard warranty covers the tablet for one year and includes 24/7 technical support. Optional service plans are available that extend the warranty period, add on-site service, and/or cover screen damage. The T4000 is scheduled to ship on October 21. Pricing will start at $2,019; recommended and custom configurations are available.
