December 19, 2013 at 10:49Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 Hybrid Tablet PC
Fujitsu is proud to present you an ultrabook with a record-breaking thick display (actually not). And the Q702 is not an ultrabook, and its display is not just a display. Everything is not what it seems: the upper half of the “ultrabook” is an 11.6-inch tablet computer, and the lower half is nothing more than a docking station for it.
Hybrid tablets have long been no longer new to the market, but they have not been able to get out of the role of an expensive toy for a number of reasons. Fujitsu, as usual, went its own way, creating a serious business product based on a fashionable concept. According to the developers, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 should be as convenient as possible to use anytime, anywhere. And they worked on it properly.
In general, hybrid tablets provide a clear answer to the question of why Microsoft created Windows 8 in general and the tiled interface (formerly Metro) in particular. The Q702 is no exception: it and Windows 8 fit together perfectly. Metro is great for a tablet, and after installing Q702 in the dock, you can simply go to the desktop and continue to work in the usual mode.
Apart from the dock, the Q702 looks like a relatively heavy (850 g) and thick (12.7 mm) tablet with a very powerful filling. Q702 is really created for serious work, and therefore no Atom is put in it, it is based on a full-fledged Intel Core processor. And there is a choice from i3-3227U to i5-3437U - power and, accordingly, power consumption can be selected based on your requirements. Installed 4 GB of DDR3-1600 MHz RAM "should be enough for everyone," and the volume of the solid-state drive varies in the range from 64 to 256 GB. Among the available SSDs are models with hardware encryption of content (FDE), which will be appreciated by businessmen and specialists working with confidential data.
Despite the powerful processor, the Q702 cooling system tries not to give signs of life during normal operation, it is almost inaudible. But under high load, the fan accelerates and noise appears, noticeable, but still low enough for such a powerful computer - most ultrabooks make a lot of noise. After long-term work with demanding applications, the Q702 body heats up just above body temperature, which does not cause discomfort, even if you put it on your knees.
The communication capabilities that are extremely important for a mobile device (and doubly important for its business application) are practically exhaustive for the Q702. It can be connected to the network in three ways: a dual-band Wi-Fi adapter (802.11 a / b / g / n), a 3G / LTE adapter based on the Sierra Wireless MC7710 chip, and the good old gigabit Ethernet. There is also Bluetooth 4.0, suitable for connecting all kinds of wireless accessories.
Like any self-respecting tablet, Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 is equipped with two cameras - front and rear. There can be many applications for them, from video communication and scanning barcodes to shooting videos and photographing. But what other tablet computers do not have is a fingerprint scanner - here Fujitsu went around everyone. The function is not only safe, but also convenient: a complex password is easily forgotten, and fingers are always with you, if you do not take into account brutal scenarios from action films. In addition, the set of sensors includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a light sensor and a GPS receiver.
The top panel of the tablet is devoid of any elements; the bottom panel has a dock connector and docking slots. There is also hidden a SIM card slot, covered with a plastic lid. On the left side are only a USB 3.0 port, a card reader slot and a power adapter connector. The main wealth of buttons and connectors is located on the right side of the case: there is an Ethernet port, HDMI, a power-on slider, volume and lock buttons, a wireless switch and mini-jacks for microphones and headphones.
The dock went to the VGA port and USB 2.0 (on the left side, next to the power adapter connector), an Ethernet port and another USB 2.0 (on the right side), which are indispensable for Fujitsu products of this class. In general, this dock is not an easy thing. In addition to ports and an almost full-sized keyboard, it contains a second battery, which is discharged in front of the tablet’s battery, and is charged after it. Thanks to this, the battery life of the Q702 when installed in the dock grows from 4 hours to almost 10, which is a very worthy indicator for such a powerful device.
Having carefully examined the right side of the dock, you can find in it a slot with an inductive pen inside. This, in fact, is already a visiting card of Fujitsu mobile computers: the Q702 display is equipped with a touch layer using Wacom technology, which allows you to accurately position the pen and record the pressure. The pen holds firmly in the slot and pops out of it only when you slide the latch.
Speaking of the display. It is matt again! Because of this, the picture visually loses somewhat, but it is worth trying to use the tablet in daylight, and the reason for this decision becomes clear. The Q702 display is based on an IPS TFT-matrix with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels, brightness reaches 400 cd / sq. m, contrast ratio 500: 1. This is enough to work in the bright sun, although taking it to the beach is still not worth it - take care of your eyesight!
Hybrid Q702 - perhaps its most important property. You just worked with “heavy” software packages, typed text or edited the code - and now you pulled the tablet off the dock and surf the Internet with all the amenities, watch movies and read books. Only using a hybrid tablet, you understand that only such a device can be truly universal.
