Fujitsu sneaks Arrandale-based Core i7 tablet into FCC, gets us all excited
We know, Intel's pretty much on a mission to confuse the heck out of us, what with its forthcoming Arrandale chips straddling different numerals in its Core i-something branding scheme, but the important thing here is that one of the beastlier models will soon be coming to a Fujitsu tablet near you. Expected to be identical in size and external design to the currently available LifeBook T5010, the T900 seems set to juice up the internals and leave the rest well enough alone. That might not be such a terrible idea, mind you, considering the original was a popular convertible tablet that eventually gained multitouch and integrated AT&T 3G skills. If you ask us, January can't come soon enough.
Fujitsu Lifebook with AT&T BroadbandConnect appears, several people really excited
As if Fujitsu's U820 wasn't interesting enough already, news that it can now be customized and purchased with AT&T BroadbandConnect should be enough to convince you that it's... uh interesting. Fujitsu's site gives you two options for packing your U820 with integrated HSDPA -- a Vista Home Premium version for $1199, and one with Vista Business for $1499. It looks you'll be forced to go with the 120GB hard drive if you want the 3G, since neither the 60GB hard drive nor the 64GB SSD are available with the configuration. These little dudes appear to be shipping now: try to contain yourselves.[Via Pocketables]
Fujitsu's LOOX R ultraportable gets SSD, 12+ hour battery
12 months ago Fujitsu delivered the first Penryn-packing ultraportable, and, though that 1.2GHz processor isn't quite the hot commodity today it was back then, it's getting another go-round in two new LOOX R ultraportable models shipping this week in Japan. The LOOX R/C70 includes a 128GB SSD carrying Vista Business or XP Pro, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and 12.6 hours of battery life for ¥280,000 (just over $3,000). The C50 offers only Vista Home Premium served on 320GB worth of platters, loses 30 minutes of battery life and the Bluetooth too, but also sheds about $500 in the process, going for a still rather pricey ¥230,000 ($2,500). Both offer 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 screens, optical drives, and somewhat tired looking exteriors. But, they can both survive an 11-hour flight from LAX to Tokyo with battery life to spare, and chances are you wouldn't be looking too hot yourself after that.
Fujitsu LifeBook N6410 WMCE notebook
Fujitsu brings one of the first Windows Media Center notebooks running on the Intel Core Duo chipset with the LifeBook N6410. Dual core computers were a bit hit at CES and the prospect of running WMCE with Core Duo in a portable package is appealing. The $1,649 base price nabs you a 17-inch WXGA LCD screen for 720p playback and an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 with 256MB of memory. You can add an optional TV tuner, but that's likely to be NTSC, not ATSC; for a DTV signal, look for an external USB tuner. Storage capacity is up to 320GB and you can cram up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM running at a speedy 667 MHz.
