Fujitsu Lifebook T904

The T904 sheds the module bay, which has allowed Fujitsu to refine its design to make it slimmer than its predecessor, with a flatter, squarer construction and a larger clickpad.

The base line configuration which features an Intel Core i5 Haswell CPU and 128GB SSD, retails for £1,299 (around $2,074 or AUS$2,367). That rises to £1,699 (around $2,655 or AUS$3,014) for the decked out top-end version with an Intel Core i7 CPU, 512GB SSD.

From the off, the T904 is immediately recognizable as a member of Fujitsu's Lifebook family. Decked in a brushed-metal silver finish, a black matte strip completes the rear of the casing, lending it a classy and understated two-tone appearance.

The machine measures 17.1mm thick, which is a little chunky compared to consumer-focused Ultrabooks but is still highly portable while measuring 2.2mm thinner than the Yoga. At 1.49Kg the weight is fairly light for an Ultrabook with a 2-in-1 design.

The T904's 13.3-inch WQHD display has a pixel-resolution of 2560 x 1440, which is a suitable choice for its size. Text and menu labels are easily readable at Windows 8.1's default 100% magnification setting, meaning you won't have to mess around with scaling options to get applications to display properly.
