XP going away means good deals on Fujitsu tablets, notebooks
Nomo, a long-time reader and frequent commenter here, forwarded me a note from Fujitsu just last night. Looks like the "end of XP" for sale with new computers has put a few (and old) Tablets and notebook PCs into the Fujitsu Outlet Store. You might be able to shop around and find better deals, but some of these look pretty decent to me. Some current examples:
- Some P-series notebooks are $400 off
- There’s a P1610 for $1,499
- A T2010 Tablet with 6-cell battery is also $1,499
Again, it never hurts to shop around, but if you one that prefers to buy direct from a manufacturer, now might be a good time. Just be sure to check the detailed specs. Thanks nomo!
I’ve got a fully loaded P1610 that I’m ready to part with. If anyone’s interested let me know.
I think the “end of XP” would spell the “end of the tablet” until the hardware catches up to Vista. Dual cores, 3gigs of ram ==> High cost, low battery life.
After looking at the configuration site for the P8010, P1620, U810, T4220, T2010, and B6230, it seems Fujitsu still provides an XP recovery disk with new computers that have Vista Business preinstalled.
