Q702 Purchasing Video from Robert Baker on Vimeo.

Dear CCDS Parents,

This fall’s rollout of the Fujitsu Stylistic Q702 hybrid tablet PC will be one of the most exciting we have ever done at CCDS. We are ending our first decade of Tablet PC use at Country Day with a real paradigm shift. What makes the Q702 a “hybrid” is the fact that the screen unit can be fully detached from the keyboard base unit and used independently without any loss of functionality. The screen unit makes for a lightweight e-reader while retaining full digital inking capabilities — the writing, annotating, sketching, and highlighting functions on which our teaching and learning have come to depend.

We have envisioned having a device like this for a number of years now. I was fortunate to have some design input to the Q702, and it is gratifying to see it come to fruition. The key point is device convergence. The Q702 is not just a lightweight tablet device for information consumption. At the same time it is a general purpose PC that runs a fully functional Windows 8 operating system with all the powerful productivity, communication, and collaboration tools that we use every day.

We look forward to introducing this cutting-edge technology to your children as we continue to prepare them for success in the world of the 21st century.
