Fujitsu Lifebook A6030

Fujitsu Lifebook A6030
Front Optical Reader Keyboard

review

By Cisco Cheng

Although the launch of Intel's new Centrino Duo chipset is the buzzworthy event of the moment, Fujitsu hopes to get a few tongues wagging about the other things it has added to its newest mainstream media laptop besides Intel's new platform. The Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 ($1,299 direct) houses an intensely bright 15.4-inch screen and a touchpad that does more than just navigate Windows Vista Home Premium. Of course, the new Intel features, such as 802.11n support and moderate performance enhancements, are nothing to yawn at either.
