6. Conclusion

In the final analysis, the reason why anyone would choose a convertible notebook is mobility. Tipping the scales at only four lbs. and with a small (but not too small) 12.1" display, the T2010 isn’t going to give road warriors a hernia carrying it around. What can only be described as awesome battery life makes this notebook even more attractive for those that aren’t within reach of a power outlet.

Speaking of power, the T2010 isn’t going to cut it if you’re doing high-end graphics work (such as gaming, video or development applications) but it does pump more than enough power for the usual gambit of office-productivity tools.

As tested, our unit didn’t even include an optical media drive, which may sound strange to some. Reality is that with solid network connectivity and USB 2.0, you can have a functional notebook today that can get along just fine without a DVD built in.
