Guide Review - Fujitsu LifeBook N3010
7/15/03 - Fujitsu's LifeBook line of notebooks has long gone unrecognized in the American market, but they offer a well rounded desktop replacement with the LifeBook N3010. This system packs in all the necessary items to make it compete with a desktop system. It uses an Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz desktop processor to give it full desktop power. The 15" TFT display offers a great deal of resolution and is matched with the excellent ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility graphics processor. It even includes a built-in floppy drive that many manufacturers are dropping to save money and space. The one area that the system could use improvement is aesthetics. The blocky silver, black and white design has too many contrasts to make it pleasing to the eye.
