The graphics card is the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 and the hard drive has a total capacity of 320 GB. You will see further in this review that this Fujitsu notebook does not appear to be a budget notebook at all since it has some pretty nice features for a laptop which costs under $1000.

The display measures 15.4 inches in diagonal and it has a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The glossy panel display sharp and vibrating colors which contribute to the good quality of the image. The horizontal viewing angles are great except for the fact that the glossy display will start to reflect the objects in front of it. The brightness and contrast levels are ok. The keyboard feels very pleasant to type on as it has a nice matte surface. The springy surface makes typing quite noisy but the keys have excellent feedback and good response. The keyboard is spill resistant which is excellent news for people that like to enjoy their everyday morning coffee when they work in front of the laptop. The touchpad feels pleasant to the touch but there is some lag registered in this area. The surface of the touchpad is matter just like the one of the keyboard. The left and right touchpad buttons can easily be pressed by using your thumbs. The speakers offer nothing impressive even for a 15.4 inch notebook. The volume levels are quite low and they may be good for listening to some music while you are standing next to the unit but for watching the movie from a distance, you will definitely need external speakers.



When it comes to the ports and connections of this Fujitsu notebook, we can report that the unit hosts 3 USB ports, one VGA out, an SD card slot, an Ethernet port, a modem port and the regular headphones out and microphone in jack. We were disappointed not to find a HDMI port but there wasn’t even a FireWire port. To tell the truth, without a Blu-ray optical drive, the HDMI port seems pretty useless as these 2 go hand in hand. The battery life on the Fujitsu A1110 is terrible. With the display brightness set to 60%, the wireless card activated and the Windows Vista power management profile set to “balanced mode”, the unit managed to stay on for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. For DVD playback, however, the unit will not manage to resist for more than 1 hours and 40 minutes so make sure you are not watching “Lord of the Rings” because the battery life cannot handle the pressure. We do like this notebook because it comes with a user replaceable lid which is available in cool colors and designs.  Talk about full customization of your unit! Lovely indeed.

The M2010 is a Fujitsu Atom-based model that has been lately released on the market. A quickly review of its features reveals that M2010 belongs to the class of Mini-Notebooks. The OS is in Windows XP Home, has an Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.60 GHz, with a memory of 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM and internal storage is 160GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD. The graphics is one of the Intel GMA 950 type, wireless connection is provided by Atheros 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, VGA OUT, power connector, RJ-45/Ethernet, stereo headphone/line out, stereo microphone in, and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. Its dimensions (H x W x D): 10.2" x 7.4" x 1.3" and weight: 2 lbs 8.8oz (3lbs 5.2oz with adapter) undoubtedly turn it into a netbook as well.

The build and design are very nice created with a glossy metallic red paint inside and out, having a black plastic surrounding for the keyboard and around the screen. The quality of the build is also well rendered in that no sounds of creak and squeak upon opening and closing the chassis. The screen hinges present a god tension that allows the screen to pivot smoothly. On the bottom we find the processor “Fujitsu Felt” that prevents the netbook from heating up your legs while holding it in your lap. Internal components are accessed through a single lid that lets you to change the wireless card and system memory.

The screen reveals a brightness that doesn’t affect its viewing in the conditions of a turned on office lamp. The angles while moving around are rated average with colors that start to reverse 20 degrees forward and backward. The speakers are also rated average in that no peak volume is powered to cover larger spaces.

The keyboard is one of the smallest that exists on the market and this thing conveys the keys to appear cramped. Because it has a wide border around the keys, this occupies a space otherwise useful to enlarge the shape of the keys. But despite this detail, the touch of the keyboard is somehow good. The individual key action is neat, not much noise while typing either. The touchpad includes multi functions such as Flick, Pinch and Chiral Rotate, the latter used to rotate a selected object at a 90 degrees angle.

Tests were run to observe other benchmarks and while hopping into the BIOS, it was observed the possibility of switching HyperThreading on or off, though the default setting was off. As soon as it is back on, M2010 speeds up and performs like any other netbook. Having these optimal performance settings, Fujitsu M2010 is a cozy companion for your trips allowing you to do HD video decoding, web surfing, photos editing or documents typing. The battery is a small 3-cell 25Wh that holds an average of time between 2 to 3 hours; with a larger one M2010 would have been a great competitor to the newer netbooks available on the market.

What does it cross you`re mind when say Japan? Maybe about samurai legends, or the Hiroshima bomb, but in the 20th century this country has given the new world power in IT solutions. Among all the biggest one`s in the world is a name that echos intense around the world, and that is Fujitsu, a corporation, a brand , a leading provider of IT solutions.

Ok..now that we all know about what we`re talking here, we can proceed to the next level..the one that I am trying to reach and that`s the division of the Fujitsu notebook replacement parts. I`m aware, like most of you I hope , that when we you buy a laptop, there are few chances that you can handle not to modify something in it after maximum 6 months, so I will give you some information about basic spare Fujitsu replacement parts.

Taking into consideration that the categories are many, I have sorted a few of the most important ones like the ones below:

• Keyboards FUJITSU Lifebook P series (P5010, P5010D, P5020, P5020D)
• Fans FUJITSU Lifebook A series (A3210, A6120) cooling fan, 330mA, 3-wires
• Cables FUJITSU Lifebook A series (A3210, A6110, A6120) power button board cable
• Drivers FUJITSU Lifebook A series (A3210, A6110, A6120) Toshiba 160GB
• Memory FUJITSU Lifebook A series (A6220), E series (E8420) 2GB laptop memory module, specifications: DDR3 PC3-8500S 1066Mhz SODIMM, Non-ECC, Unbuffered
• Processors FUJITSU A series (A6030) Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz T7100 processor (SLA4A), 478 pin
• Batteries FUJITSU Lifebook A series (A3210, A6110, A6120) original equipment Li-Ion battery, 10.8v, 4000mAh


Being brief about it, it`s obvious there`s a big chance that at one point you will ask yourself: do I have the correct fan?..or do I have the proper memory for what I am expecting from my notebook? The Fujitsu notebook replacement parts, not only that they will do the job, at a cheap price, but u will be astonished by the Japan accuracy and art craft.


Now, some of you will ask the question: why Fujitsu notebook replacement part? Well, I must say I am not forcing you for this choice, I am just supposing it`s a brand name, It has quality products, and above all you can find absolutely what you desire, like the short list that I gave you above. But, if you want to hear my point of view, not that I am not going for Fujitsu notebook spare parts, I just prefer when I have problems to buy a new one, but, yet again that`s just me.

A cool laptop doesn't really have to be colorful, and I still think about kitsch vs coolness each time I see a new model that's anything but black, white, dark blue or gray. The Fujitsu M2010 is such a portable computer, and I must confess I like it, despite the colors used. Just take a look at the image below - kitsch or too cool? ;)

According to the company behind it, "The Fujitsu M2010 defines what an all-in-one nifty mobile companion for work, school and play should look like and work like." While I agree somehow with the "work" and "school" parts, I have to think about the gaming part a little. Since when are netbooks gaming machines? Well, I could be wrong, but netbooks ARE NOT gaming machines, that's what I know.

Speaking about hardware, the Fujitsu M2010 packs the 1.6GHz Atom processor with the Intel 945 GSE chipset, 1GB of DDR2 memory running at 533MHz, 160GB hard drive, and a 10.1-inch WSVGA screen, all nicely fitted in the ~1kg little beast. Just for your information, the M2010's screen has a 16:9 ratio, a 1024X576 resolution and 200 nits brightness with 400:1 contrast ratio.

As Mr Lim Teck Sin, Director of Product Marketing for Fujitsu says, "The huge popularity of the Fujitsu M1010 has spurred Fujitsu to deliver an even more wholesome experience in our netbook category. The new Fujitsu M2010 is designed to give users higher productivity and efficiency at work with greater visual enhancement and connectivity experience at play. In all, the Fujitsu M2010 upholds the true mobility assurance that Fujitsu is so committed to deliver and users so desire to have." Eh, still those indecent references to gaming... but WHY?!?

While all the above doesn't really sound like a $650 netbook to me("$650 netbook" sounds kind of ridiculous, anyway), you should also take into account the fact that Fujitsu will sell the M2010 bundled with a wireless mouse and a DVD burner. Now, that's better, don't you think? :)
