Fujitsu Lifebook M1010 Netbook - cramped keyboard lets it down
Source: PC Authority
We're so used to seeing netbooks in the PC Authority offices, after having seen twenty or so arrive on our desks over the last year, that we watch each new netbook keenly for standout features that will lift it above the pack. There's plenty of possibilities to go round, from outstanding screen resolution or quality, to graphics addition, to feature-packed goodies and ergonomics. In all, given that this is on the smaller end of the netbook range, this is a decent machine, but it doesn't have the class of the Lenovo S10 we saw last issue and the price is $642 - only $10 less than the S10. The warranty is its biggest strength, and it should sway anyone considering a 9in netbook, but it doesn't have the battery life or ergonomics of the EeePC 901.

60% Fujitsu M1010: a compact little critter
Source: APC Mag
We really are spoiled for choice when it comes to netbooks, and as a result it’s very hard to get excited about the M1010 as it just doesn’t offer anything which hasn’t been done before. And because most netbooks are so comparable in terms of specification and performance and occupy such a narrow price range, it’s much easier to get put off by pedantic things like aesthetics and small keyboards. The best thing to say about the M1010 is that it’s an average netbook, and if you like the look and feel then apart from the 4-cell battery there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. But given the plethora of netbooks on the market, there’s nothing which marks which unit as a stand-out.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

8.9": This is a very small format, which is used for UMPC, Netbooks or Subotebooks. There hardly exist any models with this display format. Working for a long time is uncomfortable. This tiny display is intended for outdoor usage.
The advantage is, that the mini-notebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

1 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Fujitsu: Fujitsu, founded 1935, is a Japanese company specializing in semiconductors, air conditioners, computers (supercomputers, personal computers, servers), telecommunications, and services, and is headquartered in Tokyo. Fujitsu employs around 160,000 people and has 500 subsidiary companies. The partnership with Siemens AG was established in 1999 in the form of Fujitsu Siemens Computers, one of Europe's largest IT hardware suppliers, and owned 50/50 by Fujitsu and Siemens. 2009, this cooperation was terminated. In future, no laptops will be sold with the brand "Fujitsu-Siemens" but only "Fujitsu".

60%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
