Reviews for the Fujitsu Lifebook P701
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Fujitsu's LifeBook P701 falters from being a good laptop because it is still stuck in the older corporate computer mindset. It comes with half the RAM and a third of storage space of the modern laptop PC. Add to this the lack of modern high speed peripheral ports and you are stuck relying on your limited resources with limited external expansion options.

Fujitsu has focused on what a high-end user would want from an ultra-portable – great battery life, a comfortable keyboard and enough connectivity to provide a wealth of options. It won't take the crown from the likes of the Sony VAIO VPC-Z13M9E/B or the Apple MacBook Air, but at half the price, we're not complaining

On the whole, this laptop is a solid machine that goes about its business with the minimum of fuss. It doesn't really excel in any one area and the spongy keyboard, shortish battery life and lack of a DVD drive are disappointing. The aforementioned Acer performs just as well (apart from in 3D graphics) for only £450 -- over £200 less.

The Fujitsu Lifebook P701 is small and nicely made. We'd have liked a higher screen resolution and could live without the ScrollWheel - but overall, if you need something very portable, it could suit.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.
The same applies to tablets in this size range.

67.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
