Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 Reviews

Jun.14, 2008 in fujitsu

The LifeBook P8010 is the latest model in long line of terrific ultraportables from Fujitsu. Its predecessor, the P7230, was very popular and the P8010 looks to continue that success by way of some cutting-edge technology. The first major improvement is the screen, which has grown to 12.1″ (1280×800) and is now backlit with LEDs (which reduce power consumption, cut weight, extend display life).The second major change is the inclusion of Intel’s newest mobile processor, the SL7100 Core 2 Duo, running at 1.2GHz. That might not sound too impressive, but given the 800MHz front-side bus, 4MB of Level 2 cache, and GS965 chipset with integrated X3100 graphics

The Fujitsu P8010 is a great performer when it comes to battery life, system performance, and cool temperatures. When you look at the build quality and design, it’s a completely different picture, that doesn’t stack up against older Fujitsu business notebooks. Body and chassis flex is greater than we would expect from a notebook in this price range. If you can look past the build quality, it is an excellent notebook in terms of its capabilities.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 Reviews From cnet

The good:
Offers strong mix of performance and battery life; small chassis manages to find room for a 12.1-inch screen and a DVD burner; business-friendly features including TPM chip and fingerprint reader; comfortable and responsive touch pad, with scroll functionality built into the fingerprint reader, aids overall usability.

The bad:
Thin plastic used for the chassis flexes and bends too much; no option to add WWAN prior to purchase; slightly cramped keyboard will take some getting used to.

The bottom line:
Call it the unassuming ultraportable. The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 shuns attention-grabbing thinness and solid-state drives for a solid feature set for business travelers.
