Fujitsu Joins Multitouch Tablet Space — LifeBook T4310

I am finding a multitouch Tablet PC to be a great mobile computer that works well in any setting. The folks at Fujitsu have been making convertible Tablet PCs since the beginning, and the upcoming LifeBook T4310 adds a dual digitizer supporting multitouch to the mix. The T4310 is a lower-priced entry to the space, starting at $1,100. It is not the thinnest and lightest out there, but looks to be a very capable covertible.

The T4310 has a modular ultrabay that can accommodate a second battery, a second hard drive or an optical drive. The keyboard is spill-resistant, making it more durable than some touch notebooks. It has a 12.1-inch screen and will be available for order at the end of October.
