q2010
Reviewed on 7/21/06 Release date: 4/18/06 Editor’s note: The score was revised upward to reflect our test of the extended battery, which comes standard on the LifeBook Q2010 we reviewed. [1]
The bottom line: The Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010’s keyboard is cramped, but its performance and battery life, with the extended battery, are superior for an ultraportable. [2]
The Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Q2010 is probably one of the lightest and most expensive sub-notebooks on the market. [3]
If you happen to be kicking it in Taiwan, you can pick one of these up for $66,800 TWD, about $2,024 US, but hopefully Fujitsu will be keeping the Q2010 “world’s most desirable laptop” company Stateside before too terribly long. [4]
We knew it was coming, and we knew exactly what they were going to stuff into that $5,000 “world’s most desirable laptop” version, but it looks like Fujitsu has some scraps for the poorer desirers of the Q2010 among us. [5]
I’m an ultralightfanboy, so you can bet I was foaming at the mouth when I heardthat the Lifebook Q2010 would soon be shipping at stores.Weighing only 1kg (2.2 pounds) this ultraportable notebook isequipped with a 12.1 inch screen, 1 GB ofRAM, a 60 GB Ultra ATA 100 hard drive, and a solo coreprocessor. [6]
True to that promise, the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 is officially the lightest notebook I’ve ever seen with a 12.1-inch screen. [7]
So the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010, a stunning piece of technology, is way beyond the usual Fujitsu design guidelines. [3]
Other perks include gigabit Ethernet and a PCMCIA slot, but the real excitement is the 6 hours of battery life, 1.2-inch thickness and 2.6 pound weight — not bad at all for a laptop packing an optical drive. [4]
The Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 ultraportable laptop is small enough to fit in even the most cramped coach seats, but at more than $3,000 for a well-configured model, anyone who can afford one is probably flying first class anyway. [1]
With a laptop asattractive and as small as the Lifebook Q2010, thieves will be desperate to get their sweaty palms on it.Put it this way, the Q2010 will definitely be easier to swipe whileyour back is turned checking out the blueberry muffin selectionat Starbucks, than a hefty 14 pound desktop replacement. [6]
The entry-level model costs $1,999, but our top-end review unit sells for $3,498, which buys you the 1.2GHz Intel Core Solo U1400 processor, 1GB of midrange 533MHz RAM, an 80GB hard drive spinning at a slow 4,200rpm, and Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics. [1]
The good: Eminently portable; powerful for an ultraportable; extremely long battery life with the upgraded six-cell battery; wide-screen display; fingerprint reader; multimedia controls; decent speakers. [2]
For $3,200 you get an extra 7-hour battery, 1GB total of RAM, an 80GB HDD and Bluetooth 1.2, while the $2,400 mid-tier version gets you a supplemental 3.75 hour battery, Bluetooth 1.2, and a 40GB HDD. [5]
This notebook is designed and meant for people who travel a lot, and for those that want to stand out from the crowd when doing so. [3]
