Lifebook is a line of laptop computers made by Fujitsu, which also offers a range of notebooks and tablet PCs within the same Lifebook family.
In partnership with Poqet Computer Corporation, Fujitsu launched the world's first hand-held, one-pound, IBM/PC-XT-compatible computer in 1989. Fujitsu launched its first single-spindle convertible Tablet PC, the Lifebook T3000 Series, in October 2003. [1] The Lifebook T3010 was an important launching pad for Fujitsu's present-day tablet PCs.
All series, including former series, are listed here; currently (2017) the Lifebook A series is being continued more for the cheaper private sector and the series E, P, S, T, U mostly more for the business sector. Fujitsu is traditionally strong in the touch screen and tablet area (in the Lifebook S, T, and U series). In addition, reference is also made to the Stylistic series.
The A Series was launched in 2010 and initially consisted of the "all-round" models A530, AH530 and AH550, which are offered in different variants. Similarities were displays with 39.6 cm (15.6 inches) diagonal, LED backlighting and 1366 × 768 pixels ( 16:9 aspect ratio , with or without anti-glare protection), as well as the built -in Intel HM55 chipset and keyboards with a numeric keypad . The devices are mainly equipped with mobile processors from the Intel Core i seriesoffered. Even today (2017), the A series, for example with the models A555 and A557, are relatively inexpensive larger laptops (15.6 inches) that are offered as "all-rounders" or as private laptops.
The B series was the Biblo class for subnotebooks. The first models (B110 and B112, 1998) were very compact (DIN A5 size and 1.1 kg) and had an 8.4" color display. The special thing about the larger (DIN A4 format) successor models B213x (1999) was the touch-sensitive 10.4" TFT screen and the input pen. The B series is no longer built and has been replaced by the T series or P series.
Until 01/2008, the C series was the entry-level series for professional users. It had a simple and robust design, but some additional options such as 3D graphics cards were not available, and on the outside it hardly differed from the E series.
The E Series is a line of desktop replacement notebooks. They are particularly robust and usually have more powerful components than the C series (faster processors, more RAM, etc.), which is also reflected in the price. The E series usually has a high-quality, high-contrast 15/15.4-inch screen that is specially designed for office use, since no reflective displays are used and 4:3 formats are mostly available.
46.7 cm screen width. multimedia and gaming.
Several ultraportable notebooks are available under the P-series . This includes e.g. B. the P1620, which is one of the lightest convertible tablet PC with a weight of 1 kg . The P stands for piccolo .
The Q series are lifestyle notebooks that stand out from the other series with their piano finish and ergonomic covers in stainless steel design and are intended to appeal to a demanding group of buyers. This series is particularly optimized for mobile operation, which is why only ultra-low-voltage processors from the Intel core architecture are used, the main memory is soldered and two batteries with a runtime of more than 10 hours can be used.
The S Series is a line of notebooks originally intended for frequent travelers. The performance is roughly comparable to the E series, but the construction is a bit lighter and the notebooks are smaller due to 14/13 inch displays.
The T series consists of convertible tablet PCs. By rotating the screen, they transform into a "tablet". The T here stands for tablet. The T-Series was introduced in September 2003 with the T3010, which was FTS' most powerful tablet PC and first ever convertible at launch. Although FTS had been building computers that could be operated with a pen ( stylistic ) for a long time, these were only suitable for pen input without any additional devices (cf. slate tablet PCs).
Released in June 2006, the T4210 was the first tablet PC to feature an Intel Core Duo processor. The Toshiba Tecra M7 was launched about a month later. The LIFEBOOK T4215 was the first convertible tablet PC with embedded UMTS. Currently (2017) the T936 and T937 are narrow but powerful 'convertibles' in the range.
In May 2007, Fujitsu Japan presented an extremely small and light convertible tablet PC. The device, which weighs only 580 g, was marketed as a UMPC and is about the size of a PDA . Today (2017), powerful notebooks that are light but not extremely small are sold in the series, which usually have a 13.3 or 14 inch screen diagonal (U747, U757, U937).
Other series from Fujitsu are:
A laptop computer or notebook computer, also known as a laptop or notebook for short, is a small, portable personal computer (PC). Laptops typically have a clamshell form factor with a flat panel screen on the inside of the upper lid and an alphanumeric keyboard and pointing device on the inside of the lower lid, although 2-in-1 PCs with a detachable keyboard are often marketed as laptops or as having a "laptop mode". Most of the computer's internal hardware is fitted inside the lower lid enclosure under the keyboard, although many laptops have a built-in webcam at the top of the screen and some modern ones even feature a touch-screen display. In most cases, unlike tablet computers which run on mobile operating systems, laptops tend to run on desktop operating systems which have been traditionally associated with desktop computers.
VAIO is a brand of personal computers and consumer electronics, currently developed by Japanese manufacturer VAIO Corporation, headquartered in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture.
ThinkPad is a line of business-oriented laptop computers and tablets designed, developed and marketed by Lenovo, and formerly by IBM until 2005, when IBM's PC business was acquired by Lenovo. ThinkPads have a distinct black, boxy design language, inspired by a Japanese bento lunchbox, which originated in 1990 and is still used in some models. Most models also feature a red-colored trackpoint on the keyboard, which has become an iconic and distinctive design characteristic associated with the ThinkPad line.

Toughbook is a line of rugged computers produced and marketed by Panasonic Corporation. The Toughbook, introduced in 1996 with the CF-25, is designed to withstand outside forces which would damage or destroy normal laptops. Toughbook mobile computers are used in a wide variety of industries, including construction, defense, emergency services, government, healthcare, law enforcement, manufacturing, oil, gas, telecom, and utilities. The Toughbook brand mainly competes with other lines of rugged computers, such as Dell's Rugged Extreme.
Subnotebook, also called ultraportable, superportable, or mini notebook, was a marketing term for laptop computers that are smaller and lighter than a typical notebook-sized laptop.
A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single, thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, do what other personal computers do, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network. Unlike laptops, tablets usually run mobile operating systems, alongside smartphones.
An ultra-mobile PC, or ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), is a miniature version of a pen computer, a class of laptop whose specifications were launched by Microsoft and Intel in Spring 2006. Sony had already made a first attempt in this direction in 2004 with its Vaio U series, which was only sold in Asia. UMPCs are generally smaller than subnotebooks, have a TFT display measuring (diagonally) about 12.7 to 17.8 centimetres, are operated like tablet PCs using a touchscreen or a stylus, and can also have a physical keyboard. There is no clear boundary between subnotebooks and ultra-mobile PCs, but UMPCs commonly have major features not found in the common clamshell laptop design, such as small keys on either side of the screen, or a slide-out keyboard.
The Classmate PC, formerly known as Eduwise, is Intel's entry into the market for low-cost personal computers for children in the developing world. It is in some respects similar to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) trade association's Children's Machine (XO), which has a similar target market. Although made for profit, the Classmate PC is considered an Information and Communication Technologies for Development project (ICT4D). Introduced in 2006, the device falls into the then popular category of netbooks.
Asus Eee is a family of products by AsusTek Computer Inc. The product family began with the release of the Eee PC subnotebook in 2007; since then, the product family has diversified into a number of PC form factors. According to the company, the name Eee derives from "the three Es," an abbreviation of its advertising slogan for the device: "Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play".

The EliteBook mainly competes against computer lineups such as Acer's TravelMate, Dell's Latitude and Precision, Lenovo's ThinkPad and Toshiba's Portégé and Tecra.
The history of tablet computers and the associated special operating software is an example of pen computing technology, and thus the development of tablets has deep historical roots. The first patent for a system that recognized handwritten characters by analyzing the handwriting motion was granted in 1914. The first publicly demonstrated system using a tablet and handwriting recognition instead of a keyboard for working with a modern digital computer dates to 1956.
Microsoft Tablet PC is a term coined by Microsoft for tablet computers conforming to a set of specifications announced in 2001 by Microsoft, for a pen-enabled personal computer, conforming to hardware specifications devised by Microsoft and running a licensed copy of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system or a derivative thereof.
