Tough luck,
Fujitsu -- seems your entry into the entirely oversaturated netbook market is just "too little, too late." That's the conclusion drawn by critics over at
Laptop, who found the
M2010 to be a solid performer, but one with a cramped keyboard and a battery life of under two hours. No doubt, a longevity mark such as that has no place in a netbook, and the surprisingly high $449 price tag certainly didn't do it any favors. Reviewers pointed out that for $10 less, you could snap up the Samsung
N110, which offers up four times the battery life and a more comfortable keyboard. Heck, the $379
Eee PC 1000HE goes for six hours strong and seems to be just as potent. Of course, this one's definitely doused in red, so if that's your shade, good luck thinking logically about this.

I want a MacBook Tablet!
People in hell want a glass of ice water, but do they get it?
Of course not! They get MacBook Tablets instead. We get ice water. It's not fair, is it?
Red IS my color, but fortunately I am wise in the ways of spray paint and laptop disassembly.
2 hours?!?!?!?! Christ, I get like 8.5-9 on my Eee PC 1000HE. Hell even with it in the Super performance mode that overclocks the processor I still get around 7 or 8.
Maybe they were claiming 2 hours with WiFi switched on and LCD brightness turned up to the max. Then 2 hours is a good figure.
All the basic netbooks consume the same amount of power, battery life is just a matter of battery size, and, e.g. how bright the monitor is at the default setting. The much lower than average score for the same battery size suggests the machine wasn't set up properly, or the test wasn't consistent.
I had a look at the Fujitsu a couple of weeks ago. It's really sweet on the build quality and design fronts. I liked it. Price considerations aside, it's not bad machine.
You can put positive or negative spins on these netbook reviews based solely on what you ate that morning for breakfast. It not saying it was biased exactly, just that there is a lot of hair splitting going between 3 star vs 5 star ratings for what amounts to 99% the same machine.
And another thing, 576 vertical is an insignificant difference to 600 in the real world, I've used both I should know. For the video playback alone I'd pick 576 over the extra 24 pixels any day.
Is this actually their entry to the market? I thought that amilo mini or whatever was.
I guess the only way to share the cake effectively is to release netbook with touch screen. You may not need that feature, but I'm sure the reviewers would be impressed.
Awesome look and affordable price . Will this come with Windows 7 ? and in how many color they have ?
