Fujitsu Opts for Two Screens in the New Lifebook N7010 Notebook

Fujitsu has taken a leaf out of Nintendo’s book – from the chapter Nintendo DS - by incorporating a second display in its new Lifebook N7010 notebook. The Lifebook N7010 has a 4-inch touch-screen panel to compliment its primary 16-inch display. The auxiliary display, which has been placed just above the keyboard, is meant to function as an application launcher. Users can also control media playback using the second display and view slideshows on it.

Additionally, users can easily multitask using the second display by dragging any application onto it. The notebook boasts of a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, up to 4GB RAM, 256 MB ATI HD 3470 video card, a maximum of 320GB storage space, Blu-ray ROM drive, HDMI-out, Bluetooth and 802.11N WiFi. Its modest battery life, which is claimed to be about 2.5 hrs, comes across as the only blemish, at least on paper. The Lifebook N7010 will begin shipping on November 10th with a starting price of $1499.
