Fujitsu's LOOX U50XN ultra-portable PC gets colored

It's been a tick since Fujitsu's LOOX ultra-portable PC lineup has garnered our attention, but there's no better way to do that than offer up the machine in four dazzling colors and bump the hardware while you're at it. The FMV-U50XN is now available in white, blue, black and red color schemes, and includes an 800MHz Intel A110 processor, up to 1GB of DDR2 RAM, between 20GB and 40GB of hard drive space, a 5.6-inch LED-backlit LCD with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, 802.11b/g, USB 2.0, VGA output, SD / CF card slots, an integrated speaker, and Windows Vista to boot. After you mull over exactly which hue to choose (take a peek after the break for closeups), you can snag your fav for around $1,600 right now.

Looks like I finally found a replacement for my aging Toshiba Libretto 110CT.

Screen size less than 7 inch is no good, very tiny to read a Vista or XP desktop.

Other than the colors, and costing about $600 more can anyone tell me the difference between this and the Fujitsu U810 (that's the american version of the U1010 that's supposed to be released mid september for around $999)?

Well, after the color edititons, how about a "cool design" edition?

[Devin Bryant @ Sep 4th 2007 10:55AM]

The reason for the higher price is it's actually an import, not the US model, and both Engadget and GeekStuff4U have the model number wrong - it's UX50X/V, not XN. (which, if they get their model numbers by misreading a stock photo, I can't say I put much faith in a purchase from them.)

Err, U50X/V, sorry :) *slaps self*

Now i miss the 12inches powerbooks!

[Marko @ Sep 4th 2007 11:18AM]

Vista + 800mhz processor - should be interesting! NOT!

[DarkAardvark @ Sep 4th 2007 4:15PM]

those were my thoughts exactly. i'd probably just port a linux distro on it =D

Why the hell does it look like a playskool toy?

A nice portable typewriter.

Haven't they learned from all of the other manufacturers? Color = bad/no-delivery.

Forget functionality. It's all about the loox.

[Coleman Foley @ Sep 4th 2007 7:03PM]

It would work well if you were holding it in front of you, with the keyboard folded back.

[Icaro @ Sep 5th 2007 3:51AM]

Cool! I'll buy one!

[Mari @ Sep 15th 2007 5:12PM]

Where can I buy one???
