SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
I came here to say the same thing…
Oh you guys….SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL OF OUR MONEY!!!
This
One problem.
I hate using a touchscreen to type, I HATE it.
So this isn’t for me.
SERIOUSLY are you Insane a $10 keyboard from wal-mart will fix that!
But must agree I have a hard enough time hitting the right keys even when I get feedback.
But I still want!!!
“Gee, it is hard to type on a tablet. I know I’ll buy a keyboard”
You just $600 on a laptop that you could buy for $300.
You sir are a genius.

“You just $600 on a laptop that you could buy for $300.”
I see what you there!
Because having a tablet, a laptop, and a camera for $600 isn’t worth it? Especially when you can pair the tablet and laptop for extra processing power and/or a good pen tablet?
Sir, I think you’re logic is a little wrong.
i keep throwing money at the screen but nothings happening
This
AGREED!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY SOUL!!!!!!!!!
Typing speed on touch surface = 1/40 your normal typing speed.
Combine the disadvantages of a laptop (big and heavy) with the disadvantages of a tablet (no keyboard and perhaps no actual operating system), throw in two more devices to make it ridiculously expensive and BAM, you have a great product!
Don’t forget a low quality camera you can only charge by carrying a bulky laptop around.
Or questioning exactly why you’d ever want to type on a tablet. Ever.
Also it’s kinda sad calling it a “Life Book”. I mean really?
they’ve had the Lifebook line of laptops since at least the 90′s. I had one way back in 1998, and I’d buy this one too, if it ever comes out (though I’m partial to the Q550). Fujitsu makes good stuff. It was the only laptop that I would buy again if I was given a do-over.
The “Connector” is probably just a mini-usb connection, I doubt the only method of charging is one single connector that can only be found in one specific place – this isn’t an apple product, it can have two ports to charge.
^this
why the heck would anyone want to type on a touchscreen keyboard on a notebook?
“Oh, this looks so shiny and stylish, imma puke rainbows!” … jebus
Big and heavy? I would call a laptop many things… But big and heavy is not among them.
Well, I’m small and weak, so carrying a full-size laptop around makes me feel it’s big and heavy.
It kind of depends on the laptop… some of the gaming laptops really do weigh a lot.
Sure most are smaller and lighter than a desktop, but they are typically bigger and more heavy than a tablet.
COMPARED TO A TABLET FFS!
This is a terrible idea, and I’m ashamed of this website for seeing how many people are saying “take my money”.
kinda pointless if you want to use that big pad and your notebook…
Well, still no real keyboard. And the forgot to install a coffee maker.
So now I’ll be screwed three times over if i spill something on it?
four times over
I don’t know why I would like to stick my camera to a laptop and my phone in it. And typing on a touch screen? I’m glad there are phones with touch screens and slider keyboards, having a laptop without one would be a pain in the ass.
injury D: how do you hurt youself on a mechanical keyboard, and HOW DO YOU HIT THE RIGHT KEYS ON A TOUCH SCREEN KEYBAORD D:
other then that it’s cool
Never worked with touch-based OS? Rightclick is done by holding your finger steady for like 1.5s
I think with “right keys” s/he didn’t meant the right mouse button, but the right (correct) keys on the keyboard. I never used a tablet for an extendet period of time, but writing on a touch screen is considerably harder than on an actual keyboard (try hitting the right keys witout looking).
other than that thanks for the info, I didn’t know that
that is like 1.5 seconds longer than I want… games?
not what I ment. i mean that keys have a shape they have a feeling you put your pointers on F and J and immediatly know where all the keys are. no looking needed, except for making sure the caps lock is off.
you ca’t do that with a flat plate of glass D: even if it had a bump showing where the F and J was it would be useless. unless you type while looking at the touch screens psudo keys.
also that sounds completly obnoxious D:
Just now while typing this comment I lost another finger.
I wish i could type on a tablet…
Do all the parts work without each other? Because I think it kinda said that they would “share hardware.” I don’t own (or want to own) a tablet or a camera, and I really don’t want to combine my phone and laptop…
me neither, necessarily…but you have to admit it’s an interesting idea
no the laptop is the only thing that will need everything the phone tablet and camera can be used separt from each other
I think that the idea is interesting. About being practical… I don’t know. Only time will tell. This is good alternative to the apple products (which I hate). The only thing I can complain about is that there is no real keyboard.
eww, touchscreen keyboard
until you come up with some star trek style holographic keys with some actual resistance, no thanks.
(well in star trek they actually used touch pads so- SHUT UP YOU GET THE POINT)
I seem to recall reading recently that one of the big companies (i want to say apple, but it was a while ago so i’m not sure) was looking into tactile resistance for smartphones and tablets using some kind of magnetic field technology or something, so that actually might not be too far away
ugh… this is awful…
F**k Tablets.
All i need is an mp3 player that costs $20-40.
The camera sucks.
And now group it all together so it sucks the life out of a sh**ty laptop even faster.
I bet kids are always using this new-fangled technology on your lawn, too.
Inb4 “Yo Dawg…” meme.
Touchscreen keyboards are the future. Start practicing now. As for the comments about the laptop being big and bulky…really? This thing might top out at 6lbs. Since you can take any part of it with you and it is automatically sync’d to all your other devices once reconnected, you don’t really have to worry about lugging around a “massive” 6lb laptop. The ability to switch between a keyboard, sketch pad and note pad on the fly will come in very handy for many on the go professionals.
There is still a significant lack of technical detail available, but imo this device will set a new standard for personal electronics inoperability. Unless they screw up the interface (physical and/or virtual), then this thing will fall flat on it’s face.
I refuse touchscreen keyboards becoming the future. I will use physical keyboard whenever possible. They won’t die out, they’ll just become less common if anything.
People complaining about it being big and bulky just mean you can’t just conveniently put it in your pocket and be on your way. If I want to just take my camera someplace, I’d be kind of screwed because I’d also have to lug the rest of that contraption around.
Unless touchscreens gain the ability to become 3-dimentional and flexibal to emulate the feeling of a physical keyboard, they will never be the future.
Touch screes are not the future of any thing unless they figure out how to have some sort of inflatable membrane to simulate keys when active and to be reconfigurable. smartphones= small and low weight tolerance= good for touchscreen. laptops= only useful >14″= space for keyboard
also see moto atrix for how easily this can and will go wrong
Touchscreen keyboards are just as out of fashion as physical ones! MOTION CONTROLLED KEYBOARDS are the REAL future! Better sell your phones and tablets and invest in a Kinect so you can start practicing!
As for the device itself; If I ever wanted to plug a smaller thing into a bigger thing, it would not be in order to get a bigger screen. It would be to get a better keyboard. The mobile thing being the keyboard is the opposite of what it needs to be.
A new standard for personal electronics “inoperability”? Agreed. Combining the limitations of multiple devices all into one will probably make it completely inoperable. Touchscreens aren’t the future, they are a compromise for mobility–good enough for browsing, messaging, or streaming media. Using one as the keyboard for a laptop makes doing any real work on it impossible.
Better solutions already exist. Make the *screen* a tablet, and dock it with a physical keyboard (which also doubles your battery life).
only if each key is an individual touch screen and seperated from the others so you actualy know where you’re fingers are on the keyboard. oh xomehting lucke this whuzl happwn akk tjw tinw
Why not use the phone for the trackpad?
dat idea!
3D concept art
I love not being able to use my laptop while using my camera or tablet, and when I do use my laptop it’s too big to carry around and has a terrible touch-screen keyboard. Why, this must be my dream laptop right here.
This is a laughably bad idea. It’s either a joke or a product that will never be manufactured. It’s a worse idea than the N-Gage.
That tablet has a really weird form factor. Why would you choose to use it for anything other than a keyboard? The dimensions aren’t exactly ideal/optimized for any type of media usage that a typical tablet nowadays handles. Other than that, cool concept.
PÓ CARALHO!
I WANT THIS!!!!!! D=<
I can image how grimy that touch screen keyboard would get after a while. Pretty much everything that comes of this laptop looks like it can only be charged by that laptop.
The camera is useless; how do you aim at things? Pointing the laptop towards it? Besides, most smartphones nowadays have more megapixels than a (cheap) digital camera has, so you can dus unplug your telephone out of the laptop and take a picture with the telephone. I do like the concept with the tablet, though.
Megapixels arent everything bro.
Fujitsu makes horrible computers. I would know, I own one. It looks cool, but it would be horrifically expensive, slow and overpriced, and none of the devices would work properly. I swear I spend more time getting my computer to do things properly than actually doing those things.
OH MY GOD…….IT’S AN APPLE!!!!!!!
You just invented the laptop. Prepare to be sued.
so how much did they get paid to feature this?
^only reasonable demand
Useless and expensive. People will buy it. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Wow, if that’s all it takes to push you overboard, do NOT turn on the television.
Advertise ALL the things!
Obvious sponsored post is obvious.
I really can’t tell if good idea, or worse idea ever. A good tablet has all those things in it already, so why buy all the set? The pecies aren’t sold separately too…
*pieces
Mmm… I sense a shift of butthurt in the apple fanboi collective….
…and of course about 20 surfaces more that can be scratched. Or get dead pixels. Or partly cease to function. Your laptop keyboard ever stopped working? Mine hasn’t.
So this is what decision by committee yields. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer helps his brother Herbert build the ‘The Homer’ monstrosity of a car.
I bet if this was the iLifebook, 90% of the people here saying it’s a horrible idea would be foaming at the mouth for one.
Foaming at the mouth you say?? well you either got hoof and mouth or rabies SHOOT ALL THE FANBOYS
I can see the appeal of being able to integrate all of them into a single unit and have them share hardware and data. If the actual laptop was fully operational in and of itself and the tablet just picked up the slack that would be pretty cool. But if the laptop is dumbed down and requires the tablet to run at full steam, well, not so much. As for the touchscreen keyboard, yeah that would be irritating but I think I personally could get used to it. Neat concept though. The camera is an interesting touch I’m not sure I would have done though. Too lazy to look up prices, but I can imagine I could get a much more powerful laptop for a similar cost though. I dunno. I give it an “A” for effort.
Its conceptually cute, but objectively pointless. Tablet computers are created with portability in mind. if you’re just going to carry around something the size of a laptop, why not just carry around a laptop?
Tablets have always been dead to me. They disgust me.
The casual rich.
I love how people are complaining about this even though it doesn’t exist yet…
Or you could just buy a normal laptop and save your self about 600$.
