Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 Introduced

Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 Fujitsu has quietly released an update to it’s 12.1″ Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 (available during the summer of last year). It’s the Fujitsu LifeBook T2020. It’s a “convertible” laptop – the LED-backlit display can be rotated from a conventional laptop form factor to a Tablet PC form factor. The 12.1″ touchscreen has an active digitizer and there are two display options – one for indoor viewing, the other for indoor and outdoor viewing.

Truc Bui over at GottaBeMobile points out that while most of the updates over the T2010 are minor, the T2020 apparently offers a much better latch design.

It’s powered by Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) CPUs.
