Fujitsu today introduced six new notebooks and tablet PCs based on the Intel Centrino 2 mobile platform announced last night. The two tablet PCs are the LifeBook T5010 and T1010, both sporting a 13.3-inch display. The main difference between the two is the use of the Centrino 2 vPro business chipset in the T5010 and the regular Centrino 2 in the T1010, with less security and no remote access options. The T5010 also features a modular bay that allows the optical drive to make room for a secondary battery. The tablets’ screen offers 1366×768 (WXGA) resolution and can be navigated thanks to a stylus. Both will offer wireless connection options such as Intel’s draft-N or Atheros N for speeds up to 450Mbps, wide-area cellular wireless, and Bluetooth v2.1. By the end of the year, Fujitsu will also offer integrated wireless WAN. The keyboards on either tablet is spill-proof, while the hard drives are protected with Fujitsu’s Shock Sensor. A dual-layer DVD writer and webcam are also common to either tablet PC. The T5010 is alone in offering a biometric fingerprint sensor, two-level BIOS and HDD password protection, and other security features.
