lol...as you can see from my sig, i'm getting a 17" powerbook. It's just that since the 12" powerbook has been out, it's been touted as the "smallest full featured laptop available". Ironically, Fujitsu has also been marketing it's P2120 as "the world's smallest full-featured notebook". After reading some user comments on the Fujitsu, I was interested to know that even the P2000 series have their own forums! That was the first time I found out the PC computers had forums...sad isn't it?
Anyway, some points. Even tho' the Fujitsu as a smaller 10.6" screen, its a
wide screen, with more pixels than the 12" powerbook. I know the font seems smaller to you, but believe me, some out there prefer shoving as much resolution you can into a screen (me included).
Also it actually can be expandable to 640 MB, but they just don't say it in the specs. Apparently members of that forum have stuck in a 512 MB stick and it was recognized. That said, the RAM on the Fujitsu isn't DDR memory...just PC133 SDRAM.
Also well noted is the graphics card...a measly 8 MB. however, the Fujitsu is running on a transmeta chip...not a very high performing computer. Therefore the crappy graphics isn't a surprise.
A nice touch for the Fujitsu is the inclusion of 2 USB 2.0 ports. It also contains Firewire and a optical line (SPDIF) out, as well as VGA out of video spanning with a external moniter up to 1600x1200 just like the 12" powerbook.
And battery life...it has a high cap. battery that can run up to 6 hours (real life). The normal battery has juice up to 3 hours. And the combo drive (no superdrive option yet) can be swapped out for an additional battery for an additional 6 hours...a total of up to 12 hours.
And the price is comparable...anyway its the only real competition to the 12" iBook/powerbook on the PC side...just wanted to know what y'all think.
Oh here is the screenshot taken from the main site stating it as the "World's Smallest Full-Featured Notebook."
