I used each system for two to three weeks, evaluated them side by side and used both their keyboards and pens in a work environment. I took each one with me on a short business trip, using it as my primary computer on the road.

That’s a real shame as aside from these hurdles (and its dreadfully dull styling) the Fujitsu T900 is a likeable laptop. It’s quick, well-built, and boasts a truly excellent touchscreen. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t justify the price.
