In this tech-savvy world, you simply cannot live without a good PC or netbook that you can greatly rely on in terms of work and play. If there are certain technologies that keep on getting bigger through time, netbooks are becoming smaller, handy and mobile. If you are searching for one that you can carry with you wherever you go, a good choice would be the Fujitsu Mini Notebook or the Lifebook.

The Fujitsu Mini Notebook features a 4-cell lithium ion battery with a 40W AC adapter. It comes with software bundle that includes the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system and Microsoft Office 2007 Student and Teacher Edition. The processor is Intel A110 800MHz, with a Bus speed of 512 KB L2 Cache 400MHz. Its RAM is 1024 MB DDR2 and it has 40 GB 4200 RPM 1.8 inches PATA hard drive. The product can be bought with one year international limited warranty. It weight 1.56 pounds and the size is 6.73 x 6 x 1.26 inches. The battery can last up to 5.5 hours when fully charged.

As with all other types of products, different people have different views about the Fujitsu Mini Notebook. For its pros, most people like that the product is lightweight and it has long battery life as compared with the other mini notebooks that you can avail these days. You can prefer to use a stylus on its screen instead of using the traditional mouse. Its full-size Bluetooth portable keyboard is also one of its enhancements that many users like. The screen may be small at 5.6 inches, but the Vista display can be adjusted to make it easier for you to read what’s on the screen. You can also adjust the settings of certain programs such as Adobe Reader, Internet Explorer and Word beyond 100 percent so that texts and images will appear clearer.

As per the cons, the first thing that will irritate you is the slow start up. This is due to the fact that this product utilizes a phone processor. This is slow, but this is also among the reason why the product is cheaper than the other brands or the same brand with different specs. The hard disk is also not that big, 18 GB of its 40 GB memory will be occupied by Vista Home Premium. This is not recommended if you intend to store loads of images or even video files because the gadget will run slower when the memory is quite full. Its Stylus won’t always recognize taps as clicks. You may have to hit enter to obtain such function.

If you intend to use the table function of the Lifebook, it is recommended that you get a screen protector. This way, you can avoid getting scratches on its screen. You must be very careful in putting the protector on, but the process is quite easy than when you have to pull it off and replace it with a new one. This is already a good buy, but it could have been better if it runs faster and if it has bigger memory.
