CNET Asia  has just put up a list price up for the Fujitsu LifeBook T580 – $1,386 although that’s based on Singapore Dollars ($1,788 SGD) – that’s from a press release  issued in Singapore yesterday. That’s the starting price which includes a Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Windows 7 Home Premium. It’s due out in Singapore next month (December).

Fans looking for a powerful 10-inch tablet convertible PC will be interest in this – Fujitsu’s LifeBook T580 10.1 inch tablet convertible, of which we got a sneak peak at some of the specs last month.

Being 10-inch in size, you could easily mistake this for a netbook but it’s clearly not aimed at that market. It’s packing Intel Core i processors, up to Core i5. The market it is aimed at will rejoice at the inclusion of a resistive touchscreen, 4-point touch at that and with integrated stylus. Other specs include a 10.1″ display, ambient light sensor, optional 3G/UMTS, GPS and Windows 7 Professional. Weighs 1.4kg.

No price just yet but it will go on sale in late November.

Fujitu’s latest 10 inch mini-laptop is a bit of a mold breaker.

At first glance, the Fujitsu LifeBook T580 looks like a typical netbook, thanks to its 10.1 inch display and relatively small keyboard. But the computer has a few features that really make it stand out, including:

• A multitouch (up to 4 fingers) resistive touchscreen display with a swivel so you can use the computer in tablet mode
• Up to a Core i5 CPU
• 3G and GPS options
• Windows 7 Professional
• Ambient Light sensor which can automatically adjust the screen brightness

The Fujitsu LifeBook T580 weighs about 3.1 pounds and Fujitsu promises up to 8 hours of battery life. Unfortunately there’s still no word on pricing, but I wouldn’t expect this little guy to come cheap. Not only does it have premium features, but Fujitsu generally doesn’t do cheap laptops.
