Fujitu’s latest 10 inch mini-laptop is a bit of a mold breaker. At first glance, the Fujitsu LifeBook T580 looks like a typical netbook, thanks to its 10.1 inch display and relatively small keyboard. But the computer has a few features that really make it stand out, including:
- A multitouch (up to 4 fingers) resistive touchscreen display with a swivel so you can use the computer in tablet mode
- Up to a Core i5 CPU
- 3G and GPS options
- Windows 7 Professional
- Ambient Light sensor which can automatically adjust the screen brightness
The Fujitsu LifeBook T580 weighs about 3.1 pounds and Fujitsu promises up to 8 hours of battery life. Unfortunately there’s still no word on pricing, but I wouldn’t expect this little guy to come cheap. Not only does it have premium features, but Fujitsu generally doesn’t do cheap laptops.

This seems to be the moral equivalent of the “p1640”, a follow up to the p1630.
Not ‘toshiba’, is it ‘fujitsu’ ?
Looks nice. I kinda want this as a replacement for my p1620, but this is a size up from 8.9″. Not to mention it’s heavier.
I too have the p1620, which is perfect in size and weight for me, both on the road and in the office. I was waiting for the p1640 and I was very dissapointed when the T580 replaced the p16## series, because is too big for my purposes.
If the p1640 shall not be announced in the next 6 months, I shall have to go with the competition.
Spell check: “Convertibel” in the title = convertible
When I checked out this feature I thought Liliputing’s fans just have to check this out! http://hubpages.com/hub/rent-a-laptop-rentals . I can’t comprehend renting a portable PC at all! The price for renting a portable PC even for about ten days is going to charge you as much as going online and buying the portable computer!
I personally prefer the 7-9″ form factor, but I admit my fingers are small enough for the P1630’s keyboard. The 3+ lb models are a bit too heavy for me, especially when running around my workplace all day.
