Photos: Fujitsu pitches Windows 8 hybrid tablet at the enterprise
Summary: Fujitsu's 'split personality' Q702 Windows 8-based tablet will be aimed directly at business users. But has it got the chops to go up against the raft of other Windows 8 devices?

Placing the tablet in the dock adds more connectivity options that include additional USB (2.0) ports, an RJ45 (ethernet) port, and a VGA output.
When docked, Fujitsu claims the battery life of the device is around 10 hours. As a tablet on its own, that drops to around 4.5 hours.
The battery on the base of the dock can be replaced by the user.

I didn't see battery life, but I recall an interview from Fujitsu earlier this year about some tablet/hybrids they were making. ARM tablets having 12+ hours battery and their x86 tablets having 8+ hour battery life.
It may not be about these, but these do look nice as full featured replacements. A bit heavy, but better than having two carry two devices.

thick, ugly and will be expensive
And why the heck you have to provide downgrade rights to Windows 7?? So touch oriented laptop with non-touch oriented OS? They do no that Windows 8 is full backward compatible with 7, including the desktop for those who need it.
I have always been satisfied with fujitsu tablets
Its not "hipsterish" like a MacBook, instead it is a great business class device.
The Fujitsu is more "hipsterish" tablet. MacBooks are powerful laptops..
That said, the Fujitsu and a MacBook Pro (MacBook for short) aren't really comparable. The MacBook is a powerful laptop, whereas the Samsung is more like a tablet with a keyboard. Here are some points of comparison that make this clear.
1) The Fujitsu is hampered by a maximum of 4GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD compared with 8-16 GB of RAM and 768 GB of SSD for the MacBook.
2) The Fujitsu has dual-core CPUs, while the MacBook has quad cores running about 50% faster.
3) The Fujitsu's screen is 11.6" with 1366 x 768 pixels, while the Mac is 15" with 2880 x 1800 pixels. (That's 5 times as many pixels in a display that has nearly twice the area.)
4) As for ports, both have HDMI out, Bluetooth 4, two USB 3 ports, an SD slot, 802.11 wireless up to level n and a headphone socket.
The Mac has the usual Apple optical digital audio out and Thunderbolt, which can also serve as a gigabit ethernet or Firewire connection with an adaptor.
The Samsung has has 4G WWAN, an ethernet socket in the base and a second, higher-resolution camera.
So the MacBook is a far more powerful machine, running a full OS X/UNIX operating system.
The Samsung is geared more towards the tablet market, where its built-in 4G WWAN might be useful. That said, an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard offers the same sort of functionality in a smaller package.
Fujitsu did not just "dabble" in tablets
The !#@ is that?
What a fugly .... THING? I don't know what to call it.
Hybrid doesn't quite do it for me.
Fujitsu, you were not PAYING ATTENTION when Microsoft was waving the Surface in your face, and begging you to toe the line!
They're even helping you with the Surface pricepoint. They WANT you to succeed. Why are you making it so hard for that to happen?
Tablets?
becomes too bulky to hold on a lap,as you would a laptop.
So,one probably must place the combo on a table,or such,to keep
a good connection between the two.
At this point you have only created a "mini-all in one desktop".
Then,the process has come full circle..
maybe
OUCH!
I bet it gets hot as an oven too.
