Long before the Eee PC and its clones, rivals and competitors, Fujitsu was already making mini-notebooks. So, it is but logical that it makes some noise and rejoins the mini-notebook circus with its own Fujitsu Lifebook P1620. But make no mistake in assuming that this is an ultra-portable low-cost PC, as certainly it is not, especially with a price tag of a whooping $2699!
But does the price make up for the its features? You decide with the following features and specs of the Fujitsu Lifebook P1620:
- 8.9-inch VGA Display (1,280 x 768)
- 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV U7600 (with 2MB of cache and 533MHz FSB)
- 1GB of DDR2 RAM,
- Intel GMA 950 graphics
- 100GB 4,200rpm hard drive
- 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi,
- Bluetooth
- Fingerprint scanner
- Two USB 2.0 ports
- PC card slot
- SD card slot
- Gigabit Ethernet
- modem and VGA

That’s a bold move when you consider the fact that it doesn’t really have any unique features that would really justify the price tag when compared to an EEEpc or similar device.
Doing a quick search shows entry level models starting at about $1500, and I think one big difference is the touchscreen (see the stylus in the pic?)
Flip the screen around and it is a tablet.
I’m an American living/working in Israel for the next couple of years and needed a SIM card for my wifes cell phone, so I called up the local cell company expecting them to just send me one in the mail… Nope, they sent out a salesman with an IBM computer similar to this one. He had a cellular data card, logged into their system and did the whole transaction there in the lounge of the hotel I was staying in. He showed me a list of phone #’s I could pick from, gave him my credit card info and signed right for it right on his screen and he handed over the SIM card. It was pretty cool…
So I can definitely see a purpose for a product like this, but probably not something the average user would need/want)
