Reviews of the Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 (Vista Business)

  • 5.6

    CNET Review

    December 4, 2007

    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.
