Fujitsu's Lifebook U2010 gets new pics, specs

We've caught a few glimpses of Fujitsu's Lifebook U2010 in the past, but now we've got a whole handful of new shots of the crazy-versatile device, plus some fresh video and actual, honest-to-goodness specs. According to a Vietnamese forum, the miniature laptop / tablet will feature an Intel Atom CPU (at 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz), a 5.6-inch 1024 x 768 display, an 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, a 3G radio, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and will weigh 680 grams (about 1.5 lbs). No word on a street date or regions for the device right now, but the price is said to clock in around a hefty $1300.

[Thanks, Aki]

Price is everything, I bet these won't sell even 10% of the amount the $300-400 netbooks will.

This looks like an update to the U810. I've played around with those tablets quit a bit. They are very, very nice for all the tech that gets packed into something so ridiculously tiny. At the same time, however, the keyboard is too small to actually do anything with. You cant compare these things to the EEE. They're a ton more powerful and a lot smaller. It's closer to UMPC size. I'd actually prefer it if the keyboards were smaller...At least that way you'd be able to thumb type.

To borrow a popular Internet catchphrase, this thing p-owns the Asus EEE! Too bad about that price, though. Guess you have to expect that when you pack your system with everything short of a nuclear reactor...

That's the most pathetic spacebar I've ever seen. It's practically smaller than the enter key.

The OLPC does all the same stuff and more! If someone would make a commercial version with a little more storage and ram that would be worth looking at.

I own a U810 and I want this thing bad. The problem is installing the XP drivers for my U810 was enough of a nightmare, I doubt they will even offer XP drivers for this. This has a waaaaay better CPU than mine, but I still don't think it should be running Vista. Yet another terrible situation where I could put the blame on Microsoft.

finally something to replace the unusably slow U810 (800mhz)

i may sell my 12" tablet (latitude xt) for one of these.

[joihan777 Posted Jul 27th 2008 4:50PM]

For that price a wider screen @ 1280 x 768 and 2GB of RAM is warranted.

A computer I can use while sitting on the can. That's what I'm talking about! This will work great for travelling on the motorcycle. Sitting in bed at night surfing the web, keeping track of finances, etc. I was planning on getting a U810 at some point, but then spy shots of this started showing up, so I'll keep saving my money for this cutie. And yes, Fujitsu was way before the E-pc and really they are not in the same league until they make a tablet version of the E. 2GB of ram would have been nice though, maybe it will at least be an option or be upgradable in this one. We shall see. For all it does the price really is about right.

Interesting, it's missing the Japanese keys (zenkaku, hankaku, henkan...). Wonder if it will work with the E-mobile 3G SIM card.
