I use my tablet every day, mostly in normal laptop mode. I travel a lot, and there are 3 things about this PC that are extremely useful if you work “on the move” often. First, overally weight and size of the 4010 (4 lbs, 12″ screen) is just about perfect for a notebook that you carry around all the time. The screen is big enough for frequent use, but not so big so as to be too heavy. Second, having the integrated CD/DVD drive is useful (on the 4010 it’s not a DVD burner, just a CD-RW/DVD ROM). But it’s really great to have the ability to use the CD bay for the extra battery. I just came back from a trip to Hawaii and used the 4010 for over 6 hours of work in “Max Battery” mode in XP. Third, the most useful thing I’ve found about the tablet is when you’re flying in coach, and the person in front of you reclines the seat, you can flip the screen into tablet mode and continue to work. I work a lot with documents scanned into PDF files and it’s perfect to read and annotate documents in ACrobat in tablet mode. But, I’ve also written and edited Word docs, spreadsheets, and Powerpoint presentations in Tablet mode and, while not as fast as typing, it’s not bad and better than not being able to use the PC at all in cramped quarters. My only complaint about the 4010 is the speakers are terrible. Hopefully that’s been improved on the 4215.

I’ll stop there, but if you’re thinking about the 4215, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed based on my experience with the 4010 and Fujitsu as a company. I’d buy from them again in a heartbeat.

PS – In case you’re wondering, I have NO affiliation with Fujitsu, I’m just a satisfied customer.

Fujitsu rocks !

I _had_ a Tecra M4 for a while (it’s been down since December 7 and in the shop since December 14) and fresh out of the box over 80 processes were running. That gives me renewed respect for a non-tablet device that can have as few as 30 processes running when it’s fresh.
