While competing corporate ultraportables, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X60s and the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670, integrate a WWAN antenna into their design, Fujitsu has been more cautious about locking users in with a specific cellular carrier; those who want cellular data connectivity will have to use a third-party WWAN PC card.
The LifeBook Q2010 will be available within the next six weeks, and pricing has yet to be finalized. We expect a unit in our labs soon and look forward to posting a full review as soon as we can.
Also announced today were updates to the LifeBook E series and S series. The LifeBook E8210 marks Fujitsu's first 15.4-inch wide-screen notebook for the corporate space; it updates the previous-generation E8020, which had a 15-inch standard-aspect display, with Intel Core Solo and Core Duo processors, a spill-resistant keyboard, fingerprint reader, and Trusted Platform Module. Those same features will grace the 14.1-inch LifeBook S7110, a refresh of the S7000 model. The base configuration of the LifeBook E8210 will cost $1,249, while pricing for the S7110 starts at $1,449.
