Fujitsu Lifebook T731

Fujitsu Lifebook T731. The Fujitsu Lifebook T731 looks like someone threw a Windows tablet and a 12-inch notebook into a blender, and out popped a 12-inch convertible laptop. But the twist-into-a-tablet form-factor is nothing new to Fujitsu, a company that has been making convertible laptops for several years, and the Fujitsu Lifebook T731 is merely the latest in a long line of touch-friendly laptops.

The Fujitsu Lifebook T731 has two operating modes, first as a traditional 12-inch notebook, and second, as a 12-inch Windows tablet. The 12.1-inch touchscreen works with either fingertips or the included stylus. In notebook mode, the Lifebook T731 is equipped with a standard keyboard, complete with anti-microbial coating. The screen is outfitted with a bi-directional hinge—and industry first—which allows you to twist it in either direction to convert into tablet mode.

One area where the Lifebook T731 leaves other Windows tablets in the dust is the size of its hard drive, which offers 320GB of storage space—not gigantic by notebook standards, but it's a whopper compared to the 64GB and 128GB solid-state drives (SSDs) seen in tablets like the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 or the Samsung Series 7 Slate (700T1A) ($1,349.99 direct, 4 Stars).

The Fujitsu Lifebook T731 is powered by a 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-2410M with 4GB of RAM. With a laptop-grade processor, the Lifebook T731 ranks alongside the Series 7 Slate in putting the functionality of a Windows laptop into a touch-friendly form-factor without the compromises of an underpowered Atom processor. The Fujitsu's Intel Core i5 processor pulls double duty for the integrated graphics, but should still be up to the task for all of your Framville-level gaming needs. Anything beyond that will be out of the question.

Fujitsu covers the Lifebook T731 with a three year warranty. The Lifebook T731 can be purchased online through several major electronics retailers.
