Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation has recently announced the addition of the N7010 to its LifeBook laptop line. With a 16-inch display, this notebook has significantly larger screen real-estate than most notebooks, but the most significant feature is its secondary four-inch touch screen, located just above the keyboard.
The New LifeBook N7010 has something (almost) no other notebook has - two LCD screens. According to Fujitsu, the larger 16-inch display delivers brighter images and richer colors than most displays, while the 4-inch Touch Zone touch screen was installed to enhance productivity. By keeping information, such as photo slide show capabilities, CD/DVD controls, or application shortcuts visible at all times, users can accomplish seamless multitasking.
The idea behind the new concept of a secondary monitor is to allow users to run two live applications at the same time, instead of minimizing one of them; this is done by dragging one application into the Touch Zone, while keeping the other on the main monitor. For example, users could work on a large spreadsheet on the main screen and use a VoIP or a chat application such as Skype on the monitor below.
According to Fujitsu, the LifeBook N7010 has powerful processing abilities. It uses Intel’s 2.26GHz P8400 Core 2 Duo CPU, and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphic adapter. Moreover, with 4GB RAM memory, 320GB hard-drive, Blu-ray drive, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and WiFi / Bluetooth, the new laptop makes one of the most well equipped mobile computing systems money can buy.
Currently the new N7010 is priced at a relatively low price of $1,499 especially given its rich specification and extra screen.
