Fujitsu N7010 laptop with 4-inch touchscreen caught on video
The kids at Gotta Be Mobile have given the old what-for to the new Fujitsu N7010 laptop -- you know, the one with the 4-inch touchscreen above the keys -- and we have the video to prove it. All said, the reviewer seems pretty impressed by the thing, especially its remarkable 960 x 544 resolution. However, he did have some trouble getting it to work with Windows Journal. Since this is configured as a second monitor and not some sort of SideShow display, there are all sorts of possibilities, as long as you don't mind a little squinting. Depending on how you work, this might be one of those devices that you never knew you needed. Video after the break.

Fujitsu's water-cooled LifeBook N7010 with secondary 4-inch touchscreen now shipping
When you pack a 16-inch laptop so full of technology that it requires water cooling, well, you have to expect some compromises. First, the Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 is nearly 2-inches thick and weighs 7 and a half pounds. Then there's the little limitation of that 1 hour battery life. In return for your suffering you do get a built-in Blu-ray drive, a digital television tuner, 1.3 megapixel webcam, HDMI output, 4x USB, Firewire, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, eSATA, ExpressCard/54, fingerprint scanning security, and multi-touch touchpad. Oh, and it run Vista atop a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo P8600 processor, up to 4GB of memory, a 320GB disk, and 256MB of ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics. As for that multi-function (media control, application launcher, etc.) 4-inch LCD touchscreen sporting 480 x 272 pixels, Akihabara News says it "seems responsive." So there. Shipping December 26th in Japan.P.S. The US version is shipping immediately (starting at $1,499) but without a TV tuner (naturally) or water cooling (odd). %Gallery-39317% [Via Akihabara News]
Thomas Ricker12.15.2008Fujitsu unveils LifeBook N7010 with secondary 4-inch touchscreen
We were expecting to see Fujitsu's U820 break cover this morning, but the company managed to keep another trick up its sleeve: the 16-inch LifeBook N7010, which features a second four-inch touch screen above the keyboard. Interestingly, the touchscreen isn't a SideShow display, but rather appears as a second monitor -- meaning you can replace the default launcher app with any window of your choosing, including full-screen video. Nifty trick -- we'd have been more into it if it had somehow been combined with the gesture-enabled trackpad, but we'll see if this design takes off. Other specs are nicely on the higher-end of things, if familiar: 2.26GHz P8400 Core 2 Duo, 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3470 graphics, 4GB RAM, 320GB drive, Blu-ray, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and WiFi / Bluetooth. Not bad at all for $1,499 -- too bad we don't have any availability details.[Via Slashgear]Read - Fujitsu N7010 announcementRead - Laptop hands-on
