Fujitsu Siemens preps ‘piano lacquer’ Laptop

Fujitsu Siemens recently showed off what it claims is “the world’s most desirable laptop” due to the limited quantity, 2cm thickness and the black piano lacquer finish. The macine will set you back a fair amount too, running at around $4,800 USD.

The machine named the Fujitsu Lifebook Q2010 will also have Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11g, 3G mobile phone, and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and is said to be VoIP-ready thanks to a pair of microphones with good sound quality and noise cancelling technology.

To access the notebook, you will have to pass a fingerprint scanner backed by a Trusted Platform Module which is some pretty hefty security.

The machine’s a Centrino-branded item based on an Intel Core ULV processor of as-yet-undetermined speed and Intel’s 945GMS chipset, which also provides the machine’s graphics. The Lifebook sports a 1280 x 800, 12.1in display. The machine will be offered with up to 1GB of 400MHz DDR SDRAM on board, up to 128MB of which will be grabbed as video buffer.

The Q2010 has an SD and Express Card slots for expansion, along with a SIM slot to enable cellular networking. There are a pair of USB 2.0 ports too - a dock connector links the unit to a port replicator box with integrated optical drive.

Weighing 1kg, the Q2010 measures 29.7 x 21.9cm - roughly the same as an A4 sheet of paper - and is 1.8-2cm thick. Inside is a lithium-ion battery capable of delivering up to eight hours’ runtime, FS said.

It looks like the Q2010 will be available the second quarter of this year.
