Fujitsu has announced its new LifeBook T5010 convertible tablet PC, featuring a multitouch-capable 13.3-inch WXGA display, with an optional dual digitizer designed to support touch-based featured coming in Windows 7. With the dual digitizer, users will be able to perform two-fingered action for common tasks like scrolling, panning, zooming, and rotating objects and media on screen; the T5010 also sports a modular bay that can be used to hold a second hard drive, optical drive, or extra battery.

“The LifeBook T5010 convertible tablet PC represents our initial offering in a line of dual digitizer convertibles that take advantage of the advanced capabilities of the anticipated Windows 7 operating system,” said Fujitsu America’s senior director of mobile product management Paul Moore, in a statement. “The benefit of touch is that it’s intuitive and practical. Consumers, mobile professionals, and students will immediately see the value and convenience it adds to the computing experience.”

The LifeBook T5010 weighs about 4.5 pounds, and features an 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1 to 2 GB of RAM, 80 to 12 GB of hard drive storage, and a modular DVD±RW DVD writer. The units also pack gigabit Ethernet, an integrated webcam and mic, Bluetooth and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless communications, and integrated security features like a smart card reader, trusted platform module, security panel, and fingerprint sensor. The T5010 also features a spill-resistant keyboard, and features a bidirectional swivel hinge for converting between a tablet and a notebook. Wireless broadband options are also available from AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

The LifeBook T5010 is available now, with prices starting at $1,759, and $1,859 with the dual digitizer. The units run Windows Vista Business now, but we expect Fujitsu will offer Windows 7 as soon as Microsoft pulls the trigger in October.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
