Reviews of the Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 (Vista Business)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; attractive screen; comfortable keyboard; decent battery life; on the light side for a 15-inch laptop; Windows XP Pro is an option.
The Bad: Pared-down feature set; sluggish multitasking performance compared to similar systems; lousy speakers; reflective screen finish.
The Bottom Line: The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.
