    The US models are still lacking the mobile broadband. Any luck in other countries about this?

    The sales representative told me that all the international models already have mobile broadband. The US version is supposed to get it eventually, it just depends on when. I am ready to buy this computer, but there is no way I am going to buy it until it gets mobile broadband. To me, it cripples the capability of what a laptop was originally intended to do, and that's connect to the internet anywhere. As a college student, I want to be able to work on school work in the middle of nowhere, not just at WiFi hotspots.

    Thats weird. You think the US version will just never have broadband because the US mobile carriers won't support it? Are there other Fujitsu laptops out there that provide broadband in the US already?

    I can speak from experience with the T732, the hinge design is robust. We have 20 of these machines in our school the get used daily and even passed around the room for students to use. The hardware is really reliable as we've had no hardware failures in the last 2 years. If I could figure a way to afford the T904 it would be my next machine.

    Well, it does make sense to have a thread on NBR as well, but if you want stylus impressions, TPCR is probably the place to look. I'm curious as to wheter anyone on MBR has been having loud fan issues like those that were reported on TPCR.

    My understanding is that the T904 "will" get mobile broadband, but from what I know right now they are projecting around June or July for it to happen with no set dates as of yet. I'm just going to hold off on this until either it gets mobile broadband or something better comes out. I imagine there's a lot of dealing and paper work between mobile broadband companies that has to take place before they can get it integrated. I hope that those predictions are accurate at least and that it's not really August or September when it gets MB. Just a waiting game at this point.

    You've got to look at the awesome Panasonic Let's Note models that are not sold in the U.S., and some only in Japan:

    ƒŒƒbƒcƒm[ƒgƒ‰ƒCƒ“ƒiƒbƒv”äŠr•\ | ƒpƒ\ƒRƒ“iŒÂlŒü‚¯j | Panasonic

    Specifically, consider the Panasonic MX3:
    - Durable (drop-tested, water-resistant)
    - 2.5 lbs (lighter than a Macbook Air)
    - 12.5" 1920x1080 multitouch display
    - battery life 14 hours + the battery is *hot-swappable*, and you can get an accessory to charge the used-up battery via USB
    - connector ports for like everything (HDMI, VGA, 2xUSB3, SD card, ethernet)
    - flips around like a Yoga to become a tablet, with a pen (though it's maybe a crappy pen)

    ƒŒƒbƒcƒm[ƒgMX iCF-MX3j | ƒpƒ\ƒRƒ“iŒÂlŒü‚¯j | Panasonic
    [PR] Panasonic¿·½Õ¥ì¥Ã¥Ä¥Î¡¼¥È¥æ¡¼¥¶¡¼¥ß¡¼¥Æ¥£¥ó¥°¤ÇLet's note¿·À½ÉÊCF-MX3¤ò¿¨¤Ã¤Æ¤­¤Þ¤·¤¿ - Digital Life Innovator

    The T904 might be the only thing that's close. Its only problems are that it's only for sale in Japan (w Japanese keyboard), the screen might be the same as the one in the ThinkpadYoga with ImageRetention issues (although they're not yet reported in the Panasonics), and..... it makes the T904 look inexpensive :D

    Hello It's Diego

    Does the Fujitsu T904 Intel hd 4600 graphic embedded graphic card support 10 bit per color into Photoshop?

    Cheers.

    The Intel Core i7 4600U chip has Intel HD 4400 graphics. The Intel specs say the HD 4400 supports "Deep Color" ( 36- or 48-bit color) but I have not tested this myself. Windows appears to be using 8bpc and the Intel drivers don't offer any "Deep Color" settings.

    On paper the HD 4400 supports Deep Color, but in practice the system looks like it's using plain old 8bpc.

    Thank you ATIVQ for the reply end exuse me for long delay in answer you.


    I've read tech specs too and I found the same data about deep coulor, but I thought it support deep coulor dysplay via Hdmi or DP

    I suppose it's normal for example, with quadro GPU I own, Windows still continue says 32 bit color is enabled. But Using Programs like Photoshop and others the driver of the quadro card enables the 10 bit support using 3d or OpenGL capabilities of the GPU quadro card.
    Then this is not enought to have it truly enabled.
    You mast have a display that really support 10 bpc (That werenot that much at least in 2012).

    In any way thank you for having shared your knowelenge.
    I appreciate.

    Have a nice time.

    Diego

    There used to be 100 plus pages on this thread, but they seem to have disappeared.

    What is here seems about right. Could you be thinking of the thread on tabletpcreview.com?
