Add the Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 to the Windows 7 Mulitouch Laptop List [Notebooks]
You will have to pick up the LifeBook T5010 with its new capacitive touchscreen with Vista until you can get it with Win 7 on October 22, but it will still support the same two finger gestures like zooming and panning. You just won't get the touch pack fun in Vista. It will, however, come with a pen for writing on screen.
Fujitsu is touting that this convertible swings both ways. Uh yea, it can swing from tablet into a standard notebook with the "industry's first bi-directional swivel hinge."
Here is one thing we are learning quickly: multitouch lappies aren't budget. Like Lenovo's new multitouch, $1,800 ThinkPad x200T, this one starts at $1,759. [Fujitsu]
