Review
The Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q550 is a windows 7 tablet and the first Slate PC that really works for you whether you are a prosumer, work in business, government or SME and boasts better security features. It combines a brilliant display with precise and pressure sensitive pen input plus a touch screen for multiple touch input.
The tablet brings you the ideal tools for creating data and collaborating. The Windows® 7 operating system integrates perfectly with your existing IT infrastructure and enables hardware based security to meet your most stringent requirements. It’s a Slate PC that works for your business!
Unlike most consumer tablets, the Stylistic Q550 supports pen input from a digital stylus as well as touch gestures. This enables handwriting capture, as well as making it easier to pick out small objects on the screen, which is often necessary with the Windows 7 user interface.r. It gives you the power to fill out forms, mark up plans, and brainstorm with all of the benefits of electronic collaboration. Edit, share, and save your electronic documents with all the familiarity, flexibility and exactitude of paper.
For £800 you get a 10.1in 1280 x 800 IPS multitouch screen, a 62GB SSD, a 3G modem, an Intel Atom 1.5GHz dual-core CPU with 2GB of RAM, Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and some other less expected goodies that I’ll come to later.
It’s more smart than stylish, and despite the all-plastic case it feels very solid, weighing 860g with the optional 4-cell battery and the sides and you will only find one USB socket to accompany the HDMI port and an SD card slot that will completely swallow said card.
There is also a docking port at the bottom but the charging cradle it is intended to dock with is an optional extra. It will cost you around £40 but it does come with four extra USB ports.
The tablet has amazing screen, with decent resolution aside it uses in-plane switching and has a matt finish, so it works in just about any light and at just about any angle. With 1080p video decoding, faster web browsing and support for HDMI. All well and good but we are still only talking about a 1.5GHz dual core CPU and even with 2GB of RAM everything runs depressingly slowly.
Comes with a 4-cell 5240mAh battery, Loop an SD video at full-screen and you will run out of juice at around the 5 hour mark. In mixed and less exacting use you will get between 7 and 8 hours from a charge as long as you don't have the screen brightness turned all the way up. Incidentally, you can even swap batteries with this Q550 to extend operational time still further.
What Bad
Fujitsu could not find room for a stylus slot instead the pencel is left to dangle from lanyard which is poor alternatives.
