Fujitsu Lifebook P7010D Notebook

Fujitsu Lifebook P7010D Notebook 07/14/2004 09:59 AM

Fujitsu has announced a new P-Series Lifebook laptop, the P7010D, and it looks like a stunner, with a Pentium M 1.1GHz processor, built-in WiFi and memory card readers and all that, but most notably a projected eleven hour battery life. I'm sure that's with their fancy dual-battery setup, but geez -- that's better than an iPod! Currently listing at around $2,100; we'll let you know when we see a decent review. (Thanks, Jack!)

Fujitsu BIBLO NX90L/W Sonoma Notebook

Fujitsu BIBLO NX90L/W Sonoma Notebook 04/19/2005 11:04 AM

Coming right after the desktop announcement from Fujitsu is the same thing for notebooks. Of interest in their new notebook line is the "BIBLO NX90L/W" costing around 340,000 yen. This may be a tad expensive for a consumer-level notebook, but it features the new Sonoma platform for great justice. And a bizarre feature of this notebook is its inclusion of two hard drives for a maniacal (for a notebook, anyway) 200GB of space. Expected battery life? One hour. Maybe this is why Fujitsu is the primary developer of fuel cell technology for consumer electronics.
