Despite the popularity of tablets like the iPad 2 (WiFi + 3G) ($ 629.00 direct, 4.5 stars) and their increasing use by professionals, the tablets with business features of Windows is late to the party. Windows tablets that came out so far seem half done attempts, seeing only a moderate success in the merger of Windows with a touchscreen interface. In addition, manufacturers do not provide safety or functionality required by most companies, the closest I have seen is the Panasonic Toughbook U1 Ultra ($ 3676.29 direct, 3 stars), but most engineering design and the exorbitant price that out of the race for most companies.Design
The Q550 can share the form factor tables used by the consumer of media attention focused, but the PC board is designed to manage falls, bumps and spills. Its magnesium alloy chassis is designed to meet strong resistance testing military shock, vibration, altitude, temperature and humidity, but is light enough for business just £ 1.87. It is lighter than 2.1 kg Acer Iconia BZ467 tab-W500 ($ 549.99 direct, 3.5 stars) and 1.93 lbs ViewSonic ViewPad 10 ($ 729 list, 2 stars), but heavier still the iPad 2 (1.35 pounds ). Measuring 7.56 by 0.63 by 10.83 inches (DRC) is also almost double the thickness of the iPad 2 (0.34 inches), but thinner than the Acer W500-BZ467 (0.77 inches ). The digital pen also comes with its own set of questions. On the one hand, there is no place to store when not in use, just a place to put a leash. It just kept when not in use, or let it hang freely.
Perhaps the strongest feature of the project are available in Q550 is available to the user's battery, which can be removed and changed out. Most of the tablets, and Slate PCs we've seen in recent times to seal the battery inside the frame, and requires a visit from a technician to replace it. Two other exceptions are Toshiba Thrive (Wi-Fi) ($ 579.99 direct, 3.5 stars), which is similar in replaceable battery, but it puts you behind the removable back plate and the Panasonic Toughbook U1 Ultra, which is a dual-battery setup, so you can use both batteries and the switch or the other.
Features
The magnesium alloy chassis Q550 business houses many functions easy to use. Many of these features are focused on safety, such as a fingerprint scanner, a SmartCard reader and integrated TPM (TPM). A single USB 2.0 port and a HDMI output that allows greater flexibility than most consumer-oriented tablets offer in terms of connecting to external monitors and peripherals. A connection port lets you connect to a port on the Fujitsu brand, but sold separately ($ 69.99 direct from Fujitsu). A connector on the bottom lets you connect to the network.
On the front of the Q550 find a 640 x 480 VGA resolution webcam for video chat. Another 1.3-megapixel camera on the back of the tablet for better pictures, but it will not serve to replace the camera on your cell phone.
The touchscreen interface is complemented by a selection of physical checks. Along the right edge of the platform is a physical on / off switch, a dedicated button Ctrl-Alt-Delete and the button turns the screen, which is used to change direction. Wireless, including Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0, you can turn on and off with a dedicated switch. Although these controls are convenient, these buttons are located on one edge is not the best idea. You should be careful when you hold the tablet on the side for not wanting to turn the power abruptly or rotate the screen.
The Q550 has a 62GB solid-state drive (SSD), which replaces the traditional spinning disk hard drive Flash Memory. In the absence of moving parts to worry about this stock solution is more durable and more reliable than a standard disk rotation. If 62GB of storage space is not sufficient for the Q550 also includes an SD card reader so that you can improve the storage up to 32GB per card. The 62GB drive is also relatively free software, with only a few tablets of specific tools and a version of Microsoft Office 2010 Starter instructed by the manufacturer. Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 also covers a one year warranty, with a 24-hour support hotline. Performance

The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 Q550 is equipped with an Intel Atom Z670, 1.5 GHz single core processor that is optimized for use in tablet form. The latest line of Intel "Oak Trail" model, the Z670 is tailored to handle 32-bit version of Windows 7. This is the same processor is in the Motion Computing CL900. The processor uses Intel GMA 600 integrated graphics, which can not be a giant, but it will offer more than enough support for most graphic design programs and web browsing.
In Cinebench R11.5, the Q550 has scored 0.18, which is almost as competitors ViewSonic ViewPad 10 (0.20 points) and Motion Computing CL900 (0.22 points). However, it fell behind Acer Iconia tab W500-BZ467 (0.39 points), which has an AMD C-50-APU in a series of more advanced processors that Intel currently offers tablets. In actual use, I found the Q550 to be very agile for a Windows 7 platform, but even the best Windows tablet will quickly fall behind the competition operating systems tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of the compressed material.
Due to some compatibility problems with software, Q550 could not run our SYSmark benchmark test performance, but it is not surprising. None of the Windows tablets we've tested recently were able to run this test. He, however, work with MobileMark 2007 test battery. With the extension of 4-cell (38WHr) battery, the Q550 lasted 7 hours and 42 minutes on a single charge. He survived the ViewSonic 10 (04:03) and just ahead of the Computer Motion CL900 (7:24), and the iPad2, which lasted 7:30 into the video summary of the evidence. Even below the Q550 compared to the Panasonic U1-Ultra, which lasted about nine hours with two 21Wh battery. The Toshiba prosper, it has a very user accessible battery lasted 7:10 into the video summary of the evidence.
With its collection of utilities and security, Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 successful business functionality married to a factor of tablets. Although embarrassed by some of the same problems seen in tablet form many windows, such as lack of a keyboard and a judicious touch user interface clunky, manage Q550 spend many challenges through a combination of stylus and dedicated control Physical. If your needs are not associated with an operating system, Apple iPad 2 is always the best tablet out there. But if your company needs computer in a Windows mobile phone, hands on the package, Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 one of the best options available to you.
The pen is from time to time change the battery and the tip of the digitizer. While changing the tip is included digital pen, it is suddenly so nice to see this movie change in ownership and use throughout the day, many people who are not necessarily sweet on the screen or a stylus. Replacement batteries can be purchased anywhere that carries the AAAA battery size, but can not find the spare tips for the Fujitsu Web site. Complete replacement set stylus to sell $ 25 (direct from Fujitsu).
