Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 Review

Laptop Magazine has reviewed the LifeBook Q2010, and while the machine does not come from the year 2010, its weight is said to be very surprising.

When you pick up the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010, your first reaction will be disbelief at how little it weighs. Your second reaction will be to hand it to someone else to see their reaction. That’s how light the Q2010 feels. If smallness and lightness are your primary concerns when buying a laptop, the Q2010 will delight. Just be aware of the trade-offs this 2.2-pound, three-quarter-inch-think chassis necessitates.

Happily, one trade-off is not the size of the display. Fujitsu includes a sharp, clear 12.1-inch glossy widescreen. In fact, the company correctly claims that the Q2010 is the slimmest, lightest 12.1-inch notebook on the market. The panel’s WXGA resolution (1280 x 800) makes good use of the screen real estate, though type and icons might be a tad on the small side for aging eyes. Viewed head-on, the screen image is stunning. But the panel’s ideal viewing angle is not as wide as we’ve seen with other screens; you’ll notice color shift and a drop in brightness as you move off axis.

They make note of its size and weight many times in the article, and put it in the “pro” column for why they love this laptop so much. Other things of note were the spacious 80GB hard drive, and sharp, bright widescreen display. A few things they did not like included a short battery life, cramped keyboard, and the cost, thus dropping the LifeBook Q2010 to a three and a half out of five in the final rating.
