Fujitsu brings M2010 netbook to North America, packs in few surprises
You know the basic rundown by heart by now, and Fujitsu doesn't stray far from the 10-inch netbook script with its newish M2010 "mini-notebook." The big "killer" features on display here include standard Bluetooth, three USB ports, a 50 second Windows XP start up time and a digital microphone. The $450 pricetag includes a 3 cell battery rated at 2.5 hours of computing, and you can nab a 6 cell to double your pleasure for $129. Fujitsu is aiming this one at educational markets, and is touting some beefed up build quality for handling the wear and tear, but we're not sure there's anything here that justifies the pricetag or the totally average weight and thickness. The single configuration should be available now online and at select retailers.
3K Longitude 400 Mini-Notebook -- you'll never guess what this reminds us of
Alright peoples, how many Eee PC knockoffs do we really need? Is 10 enough? How about 100? There seems to be no end in sight, and here comes the relatively unknown 3K Computers to give it a whirl. We'd say the first mistake is the 7-inch screen, gotsa stay ahead of the curve. Pair that with the 400MHz processor and a $400 pricetag and we haven't the slightest idea why we'd go in for this little Linux-based boringbook. Oh, wait... nope, we got nothing.
