Reviews of the Fujitsu LifeBook N6420 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1GB RAM, 200GB HDD, XP Media Center 2005)

CNET Review
The Good: Includes HD-DVD drive and Core 2 Duo processor; full keyboard with number pad; cheaper than many other HD-DVD laptops.
The Bad: Poor battery life; visual optimizer function didn't deliver; could use more RAM and a faster hard drive; lacks DVI-out port.
The Bottom Line: The Fujitsu LifeBook N6420 is one of the cheaper HD-DVD laptops out there, and it delivers a fine multimedia experience, but its weak battery life means you'll have to keep it anchored to a wall outlet to get through even a single movie.

Review Summary: The HD DVD-ROM is a nice addition, but Fujitsu will need to add an HDMI or DVI out port, more RAM, and an internal remote sensor to compete with Media Center notebooks from HP and Toshiba.
