Fujitsu announces LifeBook P8010

Could 2008 be the year of the ultraportable? Just a few days after Lenovo launched the tiny IdeaPad U110, Fujitsu has announced its own featherweight laptop. The LifeBook P8010, which weighs less than 1.4kg, manages to pack a 12.1-inch backlit-LED display and a DVD burner into a footprint the size of a piece of paper.

While Fujitsu's previous P-series ultraportable, the 10.6-inch LifeBook P7230, came stocked with a Core Solo CPU that provided middling performance, the LifeBook P8010 will come equipped with a Core 2 Duo processor. The company is promising up to 6.5 hours of battery life with the standard six-cell battery.

The P8010's glossy black lid with silver accents will mark a new look for the P series. Aside from the distinct physical appearance, all the standard Fujitsu business-system features are here: Optional Webcam, Trusted Platform Module, and a fingerprint reader that doubles as a scroll button, plus a spill-resistant keyboard and hard drive shock protection.

Pricing for the LifeBook P8010 starts at US$1,699. The laptop won't be available until February for the US. In the meantime, we are still awaiting confirmation from Fujitsu about whether this sexy model will be making an appearance in Asian stores.
