FUJITSU LIFEBOOK P1620 TABLET PC REVIEW

The Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 is the part of the highly efficient P series from Fujitsu, which focuses on portability and productivity.

Design
The design is superb, and the overall build has been made ultra-portable. The notebook doubles up as a tablet, and boasts of a good touchscreen too. It has been provided the trademark bi-directional hinge by Fujitsu. The exterior is black, while the inner is silverish, and the overall color scheme is not very vibrant, its plain simple. The screen is a 8.9” WXGA with max resolution of 1280x768. The screen looks great in both modes, and the overall quality is great. The connectivity options are very wide, with 2 USB ports, a PCMCIA slot, SD Card slot, Ethernet , VGA, MIC/headphones ports. The keyboard is sturdy overall, with a minute bit of flex in the middle somewhere. The keys and the pad have been reduced in size to take care of the tablet factor. The pen is great for navigating through the touchscreen, and it is obviously better than bare hands.

Performance
The tablet comes with an Intel Core-2-Duo @ 1.2Ghz ULV, which is nothing to rave about in terms of performance. The machine performance is good in business related tasks, but it simply does not do any good to gaming. The 1GB RAM and 80 GB PATA drive make the system good enough to handle the multi-tasking tasks. The ULV processor disappoints the PCMarks, and it only manages to score 2,113 marks. Similarly, it faltered in 3DMark 05, with mustering a meager score of 343. All this proves that the system is not a very good performer, its average or rather below average to be precise.

Conclusion
Considering its size and the intended audience, the notebook is good for its segment. But still, it can't match the big boys out there. The battery is great, with 4-5 hours of backup and so are the wireless options and speeds.

Pros
+ Good screen
