Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010 chills out at the FCC

Yeah, Fujitsu's P8010 is slated to ship next month, and we've already played around with one at CES this month, but there's nothing that adds confidence like a last minute stop at the FCC. According to the posted user's manual, you can expect a 12.1-inch WXGA display, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, an 80GB SATA hard drive, Intel's SL7100 VL processor, a GMA GS965 integrated graphics set, audio in / out, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and optional Bluetooth. Furthermore, you'll find PC Card / SD slots, VGA out, a trio of USB 2.0 connectors, 4-pin FireWire, a 56k modem, docking port and an optional 1.3-megapixel camera. Sure enough, documentation asserts that this bugger only weighs 2.69-pounds with a battery installed, which makes us even antsier for its eventual release.

AND I bet you can change the battery yourself too, also, as well. Oh and what's that? 3 USB ports?

[MBA Fan @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:58PM]

Wait... Laptops under 3 lbs CAN have decent connectivity with more than one USB?

Really?

[BobTurbo @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:26PM]

I think that wallpaper is the best one included in Vista...

[Rae @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:09PM]

thats the best??

its quite.....amazing (not really)

[John @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:31PM]

Remember, it is the wallpaper that just adds that "je ne sai quoi" to an OS that can give it an edge over the competition.

[Eli @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:28PM]

Mandatory PC card slot and 56K modem, yet optional bluetooth?

[Josh L @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:57PM]

I am constantly befuddled by top-of-the-line laptops STILL having standard dailup modems. Is there really still a demand for it? Honest question.

[Rae @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:15PM]

my grandma still uses dialup, but the keyword is grandma

[BobTurbo @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:29PM]

I don't like where they place the fingerprint scanner.

[js @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:40PM]

Better than not including one at all

Macbook Air blablabla

And remember folks, the screen size is NOT a compromise: it's feature for a small footprint ;-)

[Sam @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:43PM]

its actually a logical place to put it..since it doubles as the scroller

[Rae @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:45PM]

fingerprint scanners on notebooks are for people who want to act like they work for the cia

[Ellianth @ Jan 24th 2008 12:12AM]

Doesn't matter where they put the scanner. from my experience fingerprint scanners suck balls.

[Ignacio @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:36PM]

Intel's SL7100 VL = 1.2GHz

[neothespian @ Jan 23rd 2008 10:48PM]

BUT with 4 GIGS of RAM, it plenty makes up for the slower processor. This makes it a perfect canidate for Corporate and Student use with it's light weight and quick operation. Small footprint+massive RAM= smart office machine! Fits the niche well

[EvanM @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:21PM]

Hmmmmmmmm. Hey Swexy!! When are you available? (to buy that is)

[Rae @ Jan 23rd 2008 11:30PM]

that what you call it these days???

damn pervert

[P7230 @ Jan 24th 2008 12:07AM]

I have the Lifebook P7230, the P8010's predecessor, and now it's obsolete, that makes me sad especially since it took 7 weeks for Fujitsu to ship mine.

[Down @ Jan 24th 2008 12:52AM]

Anyone have any idea on the price and battery life?

[Natedog @ Jan 24th 2008 1:50AM]

PC Card? Not Expresscard?

[Jeff Lewis @ Jan 24th 2008 4:50AM]

But is it less than .75" and can you slip it into a manila envelope?

No?

Phwagh!

It's crap!

[TomTom @ Feb 19th 2008 4:22PM]

Sure you can squeeze it into a manila! ;-)

Thoss icons are huge!

[Gadget Chick @ Jan 24th 2008 11:15AM]

not an microsoft fangirl at all but that kicks the MBA's ass in terms of specs

[senorbelly @ Jan 24th 2008 11:43AM]

12 inch screen? Way under 3 lbs? Is Steve listening?

"STEEEEEEEVE!"
