The Fujitsu Lifebook u810 UMPC seems a bit schizophrenic. It looks like a full convertible Tablet PC but the tiny size belies that. Laptop Magazine has reviewed this unique UMPC and seemed to like the device overall. The 5.6-inch screen is lovely and the 5 hour battery impressed the reviewer. The only part of the u810 that didn’t fit the bill? The tiny keyboard:
The small keyboard takes some getting used to. It’s too small for regular typing but too big for thumb typing, which means you need to set the system down and peck with your pointers. We don’t mind that for quick e-mails, but we certainly didn’t have the patience to type this review on it. The small keyboard is to be expected, but packing as many as three functions on a key is too much. Also, the Tab key is combined with the too-small space bar, and there’s no right-Shift key. The function commands are combined with the number keys, and–our biggest gripe–the arrow keys require the function command to work, since they’re combined with the period and backslash keys.
Overall the review has pretty good things to say about the Fujitsu u810 so if you’re interested in it go read what they have to say.
