Fujitsu enterprise SAS hard drives announced

By Brenda Stokes on Monday, Nov 17th 2008 1 Comment

fujitsumbe2 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.

Benchmarks schmenchmarks – what we want to see is Windows 7 running on more and more devices! Today it’s the turn of a couple of touchscreen ultraportables, one old and one new, to take the Microsoft pre-beta OS for a spin. The venerable Gigabyte U60 – rocking a VIA 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM – takes first punt, closely followed by the Fujitsu U2010 (aka U820).

Fujitsu LifeBook T2020 reviewed: Display alone is worth entry-price

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Nov 11th 2008 No Comments

Fujitsu’s LifeBook T2020 convertible Tablet PC was announced last month, complete with some of the features the company has become known for in the touchscreen niche. The indoor/outdoor display is likely the biggest draw, being quite a hit with mobile professionals, but the new SSD options and WWAN should provide some upgrade temptation too. TabletPCReview have been giving the T2020 the once-over.

Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 hands-on: Great mini-touchscreen deserves more software

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 5th 2008 1 Comment

Fujitsu’s LifeBook N7010 with its curious “Touch Zone” secondary display could be viewed as a gimmick or as a realistic productivity enhancement: a 4-inch touchscreen embedded above the notebook’s keyboard, it offers users a secondary display for IM chats, toolbars or media. Laptop Mag spent some time with a pre-production N7010, and while they’re not 100-percent convinced, the Fujitsu certainly seems to make some compelling arguments.

Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 with integrated 4-inch touchscreen

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Nov 4th 2008 No Comments

The U820 isn’t the only fresh Fujitsu today with a touchscreen: the LifeBook N7010 is a regular 16-inch 16:9 notebook but it also has a 4-inch touchscreen embedded above the keyboard. This sub-display – which Fujitsu are calling the “Touch Zone” – can be treated as an extension of the main screen, with apps dragged ‘down’ to it, or be used as a toolbox for app controls or media playback buttons. Under the hood there’s a Core 2 Duo P8400 processor running at 2.26GHz, ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics with 256MB GDDR3, and a Blu-ray drive.
