At Gent Stuff, we are very enthused by the new breakthroughs occuring in consumer technology (an age-old gentleman's weakness). However, while we appreciate the brilliant vision and cool commercials of Steve Jobs, Inc., we don't find his iPad worthy of gentleman's hands. Simply put, iPads are quite useless for gents looking to Get Things Done (which, let's admit, we love to do). The beauty of touchscreen tablet is that it makes the behemothic prowess of computing incredibly and instantaneously portable. The problem with an iPad is that it isn't a computer, it's the internet. Given we already get the internet on our phones (if you don't, then get with it - at the very least so you can read Gent Stuff while waiting in line at the supermarket), what us gents really need is a device that lets us roll up our sleeves and get to work while on the road. Lo and behold the new Fujitsu Lifebook T580. Now this is computing nirvana. Complete with all the fixins of your desktop at work, this bad boy provides all the touchscreen tablet serendipity of an iPad with the glorious voltage of an actual computer. As a felicitous bonus, it comes with N-trig pen recognition so you can write down your "Odes to Gywanline" using the provided digital pen without fussing with a touchscreen keyboard (aka chinese water torture). So fire up some REAL gent hardware, the Lifebook T580. Acquire it at Amazon.com. $1,199.00
