Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010

Review Specifications Compare Prices

With just the bare essentials, the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 is feather-light for a notebook - no matter what size category you are considering. Notebooks with 11-inch screens and under are usually the ones we think of when someone says "1 kg notebook", but at that weight, the Q2010 has a 12.1-inch display.

This is a popular screen dimension for ultraportable notebooks being the minimum size at which fonts are still readable for many without using any software magnification. Even at its thickest, this notebook is a mere 19.9mm, not even an inch thick. Its incredible size does come with sacrifices though, chief of which is the lack of VGA and LAN connectors on the notebook's body.

These two ports require the use of an included adapter which connects to a flat I/O port on the right of the notebook. Also, there is no optical drive, and USB ports are limited to just two, both found on the right. A dock connector can be found on its base for the optional docking station which will provide the optical drive and more ports. Yet, Fujitsu still managed to offer a keyboard which has keys with a good feel to them and a decent layout.

For what it lacks in physical connectivity, the Q2010 more than makes up for with its wireless options. Not only does it come with WiFi and Bluetooth which are pretty much standard for notebooks these days, it has a 3G radio capable of making use of the HSDPA protocol wherever available. Its SIM card slot is found behind the battery; while a simple 3G Watcher application makes it easy to connect to whichever network you may be a subscriber of. A single switch on the front right toggles all these wireless options. Other features of the Q2010 include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as well as a fingerprint sensor which is also useable to scroll pages in documents and browsers.

Fujitsu wisely included two batteries in the sales package, one that is flat, flush with the notebook's body and the other, a 6-cell one that protrudes out of the base. The 6-cell battery lasts up to 315 minutes, more than five hours of productivity. The 3-cell one won't be very useful for most people, especially not if the wireless radios are turned on. Even with the extended battery on, the notebook is still very light at 1.25KG.

The 1.2GHz Core Solo processor and 1GB RAM may seem underpowered, but the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 is a high-connectivity business notebook first and foremost and it will be generally responsive and won't stutter using most productivity applications. If you can afford it, few other notebooks will turn heads like this one will, nor is there another with its range of wireless connectivity options.
