Fujitsu unleashes upgrades to its FMV-Deskpower series
When not busy revolutionizing biometric door access, it turns out that Fujitsu dabbles in computers. Crazy, huh? Its come to our attention that the company has just dropped the bomb on upgrades to a generous portion of its product line, including Blu-ray drives, storage and RAM upgrades for its all-in-one F-Series; a Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and 1TB hard drive for its LX Series; and Core 2 Duos for the Deskpower CE series. If that weren't enough (and it's not) the company's EK Series' all-in-one machines got a refresh as well, sporting a 19-inch display, up to 500GB storage, and 4GB RAM. Sadly, the Deskpower CE machines still bear that same cringe-worthy look that's been upsetting those of us in the gadget community for years now, but maybe that's the kind of thing that turns you on?

Fujitsu unveils three new DeskPower machines
Fujitsu pumped out three new DeskPower LX-series machines today, and they're slightly less ugly than the visually criminal EK30T. Apart from having been designed by someone with eyes, the new machines feature built-in 19- or 22-inch displays, 2.2GHz E4500 Core 2 Duos, digital and analog TV tuners, and dual layer burners. All of these are on sale now in Japan, for anywhere from ¥21,000 to ¥26,000 ($1854 - $2,296), depending on specs.[Via Akihabara News]
Fujitsu's Deskpower EK30T all-in-one: we're very, very sorry
You feeling that all-in-one up there from Fujitsu? No, us neither. In fact, the FMV-Deskpower EK30T is such a blaspheme of the minimalistic concept that we have to look away from the screen to even type this. Only, punching in the specs doesn't make us feel any better: 1.46GHz Celeron M410, 17-inch display, up to 2GB DDR2 memory and 80GB disk, integrated 945G graphics, and DVD multi-drive all packed into a single, heaving slab. Fujitsu calls it "Windows Vista Premium ready" which is true, just be ready for it to succumb at the first sign of strain. Also announced are their FMV-BIBLO NF70T and 45T low-end laptops. The former being a 15.4-inch sportin' a 1280x800 resolution and Core Duo T2300 processor, up to 4GB of RAM and 100GB of disk, DVD multi-drive, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, and 2.1-hour battery. The NF45T brings the same display but only packs a Celeron M 410 and even worse battery life at just 1.7-hours. All will start shipping in November with the all-in-one hitting for ¥130,000 (about $1,105), the NF70T for about ¥190,000 (about $1,614), and the NF45T for ¥170,000 (about $1,444). Japan only for these, fortunately. Picture of the NF70T after the break, you know, if you're enjoying the pain, sicko.
