Fujitsu unveils LifeBook P8010 Pink Gold Edition with WWAN

Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010 was a star in its own right, but just months after its release, that original version is already looking stale. The newfangled LifeBook P8010 Limited Pink Gold Edition sports a sure-to-be-polarizing high-gloss finish, integrated 3.5G (HSDPA) WWAN, 12.1-inch WXGA SuperFine widescreen panel and Intel's Core 2 Duo SL7100 processor. You'll also find essentials like a 1.3-megapixel camera, dual-layer DVD writer, a battery good for six hours and a fingerprint reader. Looks like this one will go for $2,899 over in Australia (that's around $2,748 in Yankee dollars), but we've no word on whether it'll roll out globally.

Holy crap. That's expensive.

My condolences for whoever buys this. 13" laptops are selling for under $1k. That makes this nearly 3 times the price!!

[jjd @ Jul 1st 2008 1:55PM]

Sure there are 13" laptops for less than a grand, but probably not ones that weigh 3lbs with a DVD writer, camera, WWAN, 802.11n, 6hr battery and WXGA.

My non-WWAN P8010 cost a lot less than this and is one pretty fantastic machine. Weighs less than an MBA, includes a built-in DL DVD-writer, up to 4GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, a 12" 1280x800 LED-backlit screen, and a bevy of quasi-ruggedized features (e.g., auto-park drive heads, anti-spill keyboard, etc.). The only thing it gives up a bit is on proc speed -- dual-core at 1.2Ghz -- but with 5+ hours of battery, I'm not complaining.

Dang... That's expensive.

Bah. I thought Engadget censored out 'crap' since my message didn't appear immediately after I hit the 'Add Your Comments' button.

EXCUSE ME, I AM LOOKING FOR TECHNOLOGY THAT NEVER GETS OLD. I AM CONSIDERING THE NEW SAMSUNG BLU-RAY BD-P1500 BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER. THEIR NEXT GENERATION BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER. WITH ITS BUILT-IN ETHERNET CONNECTION, IT?S SURE READY.

The all caps will persuade me to buy it.

Can you speak a little louder? I can't hear you.

Please don't type in all caps.

Is this supposed to be spam or just a really stupid commment.

At that price it's not going to be sold anywhere in the world.

I see you are slowly phasing out all the vowels from your comments.

Please note that this has already been attempted by Motorola, and we all know how that turned out.

Pink gold, Texas lemonade...

Aha, so there is a currency still worth less than the US dollar

[Ninjakamster (PS360 FTW!) @ Jul 1st 2008 12:24PM]

The regular P8010 retails for about $1800-2000 over here in the U.S. Is Australia getting shafted or is that finish really worth $1000 extra? : )

Isn't it just "Bronze" or "Copper"?
