I love mine
By D. Robert Burroughs
I have had a pair of Fujitsu Lifebook t5010's for about a year now and I really have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about. I have one at home and one in my office that I have sync'ed data wise for ease of use. These two laptops are easily the most dependable computers I have ever owned (starting back in the Apple IIe days).
The motion/shock sensor has saved my data on more than a couple of occasions when I fell asleep holding the computer in my lap and had it tumble to the floor.
The screen is bright and easy to read in all kinds of lighting conditions including outdoors (I have another laptop that claims you can read the screen outdoors but with the Fujitsu YOU CAN).
I have never had any problems what so ever with the pen and pen callibration took less than five minutes and I have NEVER had to re-set or re-callibrate the pen.
Tha battery charges quickly and lasts on average over three and a half hours per charge if I am not watching movies or using the dvd drive much which cuts into battery time.
I routinely use this with a 31" external monitor with no problems what so ever. The graphics card is not really a gaming card so don't expect blazing fast frame rates but it is faster than my Asus VX-2.
In tablet mode you can have it in portrait or landscape and you can set it so that it either follows how you a re holding it or maintains the setting you have chosen.
I have Windows XP Tablet Edition as the operating system on one my t5010's and Windows 7 on the other. No problems with either oS.
It is a fast powerfull computer and after a year I still have not found anything I did not like about the computer.
You can find these laptop/tablets anywhere from $450 (refurbished) up to about $1149 on line.
Enjoy

Fujitsu Fail
By Hargak
Pro's:
Specs on this seem very good.
The fujitsu password keeper is a nice feature and easy to use. Pen is very accurate after calibration. Much better than "touch" type. Display is solid, aside from dust getting through gaps between the glass and the LCD (very annoying).

Cons:
Specs just don't seem anywhere near expected performance with XP.
Battery storage tapers off significantly at the 13 month mark. Along with the rest of the laptop, very thin glass on the screen cracks easy, the shift keys get stuck randomly (yet the keys appear to be up like the other keys) this makes for many password resets until you catch it (tap each shift key once and it will start working again). I have 30 of these T5010's and can honestly say it was a bad purchase. out of 30, I have seen 20 of them (cataloged) have the same repetitive issues. All get very hot on left palm rest, Fujitsu junk software slows down XP immensely. Takes forever to boot on domain with XP. Fujitsu very much dissapoints, we will not be back.

Other thoughts:
Do yourself a favor two things will really help with performance.
1. Buy a vertex 2 or equiv. SSD (also will make this laptop much more reliable if in a bouncy environment)
2. Install windows 7, pick a flavor, any flavor. windows 7 installs nearly all the drivers automatically.

Not worth the money
By Bookworm Danny
I've owned a Tablet PC before, I used it to make a lot of artwork.

I've been disappointed with my Fujitsu Lifebook since I got it. I almost returned it the next day but thought "oh, I'll get used to it..." I was wrong. After 6 months of "living with it," I think it is/was a complete waste of money.

Pros:
+nice battery life,
+bright screen
+the docking station (sold separately) is quick to release when PC is running.

Cons:
--major issue: want to use a 2nd monitor? good luck. It will reset your extended desktop every 10 seconds... I had to hack around and disable a bunch of fujitsu software in order to get it to stop. So now it only resets my desktop display every time I turn it on/wake it up. ug. :(
--major issue: in Tablet mode, the screen does not rotate to all 4 directions (I'm talking display/software settings, not physical manipulation of the screen) this PC only has 2 portrait and 1 landscape modes... the 1 landscape is the direction that involves all the plugs on the back of the machine facing TOWARD you... so if you have anything plugged in, it will jab you in the stomach while when you try to get comfortable on the couch, etc. (again, my old Toshiba had all 4 directions).
--major issue: Left handed? the scroll bar sensor on the frame around the screen is exactly where you'd rest your left wrist. Expect the screen to scroll around while your tying to do ANYTHING using the stylus. (and don't expect to find a checkbox to disable the scroll bar sensor ANYWHERE.)
--minor: lifebook has 13" screen -->smaller than my last TabletPC (Toshiba, which was cheaper!)
--annoying: it doesn't remember your display settings when removing and replace in the docking station (but I guess that's windows vista that's to blame, not fujistu?)
--annoying: went using it like a normal laptop, there's a hot spot right under your left palm, so it gets really hot and sticky from something inside the pc heating up.

If I could give you one piece of advice, one artist to another, don't buy this computer. (and I'm truly heartbroken that Toshiba discontinued the 14" tablet PC I used to have :(
