Fujitsu Loox R70Y

Another recent announcement is the Fujitsu Loox R70Y. Many think this is the replacement for the Loox T-series.

You get a 12.1" LED backlit widescreen, Intel X3100 graphics and up to 4GB RAM. Measuring 274x207x27mm and weighing 1.27 kg, the Loox R70Y has nothing to be ashamed of, when compared to other ultraportables. However, despite the usual variety of different lid colors, the design is quite bland and could need some spicing up.

Luckily it compensates with spectacular battery life, which according to Fujitsu can reach a little more than 11 hours! It will be interesting to see what real life numbers turn out to be.

In my previous post I mentioned the thin bezel technology from Fujitsu - and here you have it.



Look at the sides of the screen. Quite spectacular if you ask me. Now if they would only do the same at the top of the screen, I would be a happy camper. And to the rest of the notebook manufacturers: Start learning from Fujitsu already.
