At A Glance

Convertible notebook with memory card reader has excellent security features, but conversion to tablet mode is awkward.

Manufacturer’s Description

Take this convertible for a ride-put the top down and use digital ink to take unobtrusive handwritten notes and draw diagrams during meetings and seminars, or write directly onto slides for emphasis during your presentation. Put the top up when you use your notes, drawings, and annotated graphics in a formal report. The LifeBook T4020 Tablet PC provides the full power, functionality, and familiarity of a notebook yet offers versatile digital inking capabilities.
