On its own, Fujitsu’s AMILO Sa 3650 notebook is par for the course; its claim to fame is the GraphicBooster box the company offer with it. Packing an external ATI Radeon HD 3870 video card and dual outputs, Fujitsu boast a whopping 470-percent increase in video performance over the notebook’s standard ATI Radeon HD 3200 on-board graphics. Electricpig have tried it out, and while it works they still have questions about its practicality.
Fujitsu’s ST6012 Tablet PC, announced back in September, has been officially released. The ST6012 has a 1.40GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV SU9400 (3MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB) processor with a 12.1-inch WXGA active-digitizer touchscreen, wireless USB and an integrated 1.3-megapixel camera on the back of the unit.
Fujitsu’s LifeBook N7010, the 16-inch notebook with a supplementary 4-inch touchscreen sub-display integrated above the keyboard, has begun shipping in the US and will begin shipping on December 26th in Japan. The notebook weighs a whopping 7.5lbs and measures close to 2-inches thick; in Japan, that space is used to squash water-cooling inside, but the US version does without. Both, however, have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor, up to 4GB of memory, a 320GB hard-drive and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics chip.
Fujitsu Japan have announced the Loox R/C70, an ultraportable notebook boasting a huge 12hr claimed battery life.

Nokia stole much of the limelight this week, with the announcement of the N97 touchscreen QWERTY smartphone. Set to take the crown as flagship N-series device when it hits the market next year, make sure to check out our video preview.

Fujitsu’s Amilo Mini Ui 3520 was the little netbook that shouldn’t have existed. Denied by its makers until what seemed like seconds before the official announcement, you could be forgiven for thinking that this distinctive budget ultraportable would bring something seriously impressive to the netbook game. Pocket-lint have been putting the Mini Ui 3520 through its paces, and it sounds like the initial concerns were legitimate: the netbook encounters some real stumbles in usability.
Fujitsu UK have kicked off a tempting promotion called Lifebook 4 Life. Buy any Lifebook S, T, E, Q or P notebook, take out a three-year warranty and, at the end of that period, they’ll replace your laptop with a new one. In fact you can keep doing that every three years.

Forget the cheesy weather proof feature or having a pelican case for your cell phone. The Futjisu F-01A goes beyond Slashproof, offers feature-rich handset with IPx5 and IPx7 waterproof protection. The F-01A is no ordinary cell phone with few O-rings; it’s a fully loaded “docomo PRIME series” mobile phones with GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, fingerprint sensor, and has a 5.2MP CMOS sensor for still image capture which also sports a 3.5-inch TFT LCD with ultra wide 854×480 resolution screen.
Fujitsu announced their latest SAS enterprise hard disk drives today and have upped the capacity and performance in the process. Both are 2.5-inch drives, but the MBD2 RC sports 10,000 RPM and the MBE2 RC is 15,000 RPM. They also feature 6Gbps.
When compared to the previous models of these drives, you will note that the capacity has been doubled. This is due to the company’s use of perpendicular magnetic recording technology or PMR. This helps to lower power consumption as well.
These drives are green, too, with halogen-free construction and compliance with RoHS. They are also 28% more energy efficient. They’ve also gotten a 60% speed boost. You can get the MBD2 RC in 147GB or 300GB and the MBE2 RC is available in 73.5GB or 147GB.
