Fujitsu Lifebook N7010 Equipped With Integrated, Touchscreen App Launcher
10:00PM Adrian Covert | The picture pretty much says it all, but the coolest part about the Lifebook N7010 is the 4-inch, 480×272 pixel touchscreen integrated into the keyboard area. Its most notable function is that it works as an app launcher, but according to Fujitsu’s Paul Moore, you can use it as a second (really small) screen, with the ability to drag whatever you want down to the second screen like any other external monitor. Aside from the app launcher, its intended to be used as a CD/DVD control panel, or as a photo viewer. More »

11:30AM Nick Broughall | Those crazy kids and their lust for colour. Back in my day, laptops were black. Or silver. Or white. Or something relatively neutral, so as not to upset the boss’s delicate nature. You got your Individuality across by sticking a Dilbert comic on your screen as your wallpaper.
But the kids today – these Gen-Y’ers… All they care about is looking good. And standing out from the crowd. And pink, or some other crazy colour…
Oh, and another thing – pink isn’t just for girls now. Young, sane, heterosexual males are actually using pink. When will the madness end?
Certainly not with the L-series from Fujitsu, that’s for sure. They’re embracing the madness, releasing affordable laptops in a range of colours like pink and purple. Sure, they stick black in there for us old-school consumers, but it’s the four other colours that get most of the attention: White and Pink Gold, Turqoise Blue, Pink and Purple.
Intel Core2Duo processors, built-in webcam and microphone, fingerprint scanner, 14.1inch LCD screen, HDMI output… it’s a feature set that looks as good as it sounds. Just so long as you don’t get a pink one.
