"Impressive, well built, and exceeded expectations"
Pros: form factor, sturdy design, give up very little, touch screen works great
Cons: tight keyboard, 1 DDR Bay, no optical drive
Summary: I am a PC enthusiest and did alot of homework before making my purchase. I heard mostly great reviews about this unit, mostly within the context of an ultra portable and that you give up this and that so dont expect much. Well, if you are realistic, i think that all you sacrefice with this unit is keyboard space. I dont mind as i actually like not having to move my fingers around alot so it works well.
The performance is impressive. Everything is smooth and fast. The screen is bright and sharp. I think the most advice i can give to anyone looking at this model and reads the many reviews out there i would advise that the handwriting recognition, and the touch screen work excellent. I do not know what planet they are on but i have experienced no lags and nothing but accurate bliss. There are many options to scroll pages and so forth so there is alot of flexibility. Much more usable than my previuos tablets.
The sound is actually decent and streaming media is as good as my big notebook. One drawback is that it only has one SDRAM Bay so get the 512 from the start. As for it having no optical drive, if you are like me and have another computer you often travel with or dont plan on installing software on the road, this will do. You do NOT have to buy the USBoptical drive from fujitsu as any will do.
Very well thought out design, sturdy, and all the features you are looking for in your pocket. It is about the same form factor as a DVD rental case from blockbuster except thicker. If you are looking for an ultra portable and want to go up to a gig of RAM and optical drive, get the P7120 and it has a GREAT display.
This is an ultra ultra portable i must stress.

For portable device, this one is the king (or queen ^_^):
Here are couple of thoughts:
1. New Touch Screen Design works better than magnetic pen: your finger tip can work on the screen very well, but not your finger (face) or palm. I have been using Fujitsu stylistic series (tablet pc) a lot and the magnetic pens that comes with tablet pc are just pains. When using magnetic pen on the screen, where you touch (on the screen) is not important, instead, it is the mouse cursor's location that matters. It takes some times to adjust. In terms of this, the touch screen design in P1510D sloves this problem.
2. It's light and delight to use: When I go to coffee shop and take this one out, I feel like I just take out a regular paper notebook, a peaceful feeling that I do not get when I take out a big notebook computer.
3. No CD is an advantage for me because I do not use this as a DVD player.
4. Battery life is reasonable, but not superb. A 3 hours continuous usage (notebook mode) is common, but not as good as T4020, which always gives me more than 5 hours (notebook mode). But still, 3 hours is practically reasonable for me.
It's a great machine. However, I will not use this as a desktop replacement, instead, it compensate what desktop cannot offer to me. If you want a computer to be with you everywhere you go, this is it.
Hope this helps.
