Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Attractive screen
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Decent battery life
  • On the light side for a 15-inch laptop
  • Windows XP Pro is an option
The bad:
  • Pared-down feature set
  • Sluggish multitasking performance compared to similar systems
  • Lousy speakers
  • Reflective screen finish
The bottomline:

The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.

Editors’ rating:

5.6/10

RRP: AU$1299.00
