Fujitsu LifeBook U2010 gets official in five different colors

Fujitsu has been showing off its LifeBook U2010 netbook / convertible laptop for some time now, but it's just now getting completely official with it, and it's taken the opportunity to reveal all five colors we can expect to see the laptop available in. That includes the basic black option we've been seeing all along (now called Ocean Black), as well as Pink Gold, Cool Silver, Fuschia Red, and Luminous Blue. Otherwise, the laptop's specs look to be in line with what we've been expecting, including a 1.6GHz Atom processor, a 5.6-inch WXGA display, an optional 64GB SSD drive (or a standard 60GB hard drive), a promised 8 hours of battery life from the extended battery, and the usual built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam. Still no final word on a price though, or any indication of a release date for the US-centric U820 model, which the FCC has already kindly let out of the bag.

When I first saw the pictures without reading the headlines, my first thought was, "New DS colors?"

[w00fd06 @ Aug 8th 2008 9:59PM]

haha, i thought it was gonna be about the new, SSD-based DS

[Homeboy @ Aug 8th 2008 12:54PM]

Nintendo DS??

[nxtiak @ Aug 8th 2008 1:32PM]

Lol, I was going to reply with the same statement, that's the new DS! :)

[MTVAH @ Aug 8th 2008 12:55PM]

60GB? I thought that it was getting bumped to 80GB.

[kevin_ho @ Aug 8th 2008 1:19PM]

um.. that's what she said?

[EdMercer @ Aug 8th 2008 1:05PM]

The screen is TOO DAMN small... And since it´s touchscreen, I think we all agree... it´s Nintendo DS :P

[nDee @ Aug 8th 2008 1:10PM]

It's almost like a bigger iPhone
with real qwerty keyboard

[Sarig @ Aug 8th 2008 2:09PM]

and real hardware. And a desktop OS.

5.6 inch display? Not to sure about that, battery life however is great news. Still would like to know if it is any better than any of the current Eee PC's out there.

[Noiro @ Aug 8th 2008 2:57PM]

I'm thinking this is gonna be around like x2 or x3 that of what an Eee 901 costs... Too much money IMHO. Still cool though, whish I could afford to squint at it while sipping my latte.

[John H. @ Aug 8th 2008 1:37PM]

Yes, in fact they are DS's. Engadget must have just put the pictures on the wrong article. I'm glad that's settled.

[Johann @ Aug 8th 2008 2:45PM]

I like the specs except the screen could grow some.
Even a small bump up to 7" would be appreciated.

That included FM transmitter seems pretty trick too.

[sinjinn @ Aug 8th 2008 3:03PM]

no, no, no , this is the only umpc except the vulcan that sits between the 7" and 5 inch . no bumps necesssary, just pick up a netbook.

[Johann @ Aug 9th 2008 4:59AM]

Nah......

At 5.6", you leave a big fat ugly bezel!

I'd rather have a 7" screen that keeps the 5.6" height but is widescreen and gets rid of the fugly bezel without increasing the units size at all.

Most netbooks (that don't have a ludicrous fat bezel) start at 8.9".
