Announced back at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 Ultra-Portable notebook is slated to arrive on the market during the next month. Before taking off to the retailer's

shelves, the P8010 had to stop for a while into the FCC's laboratories for a close examination. The actual specifications of the notebook as it hit the FCC's testbed are the official features, should everything go fine out there, of course.

The ultra-portable notebook features a sophisticated, glossy black cover housing a 12.1-inch WXGA Crystal View LED widescreen display in a small form factor. This is an update to its predecessor, the 10.6-inched LifeBook P7230 notebook. The P8010 version is built around an energy-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo processor, that will boost the battery life up to 6.5 hours of work under full load.

"With its stylish glossy black cover and silver tone accents, the LifeBook P8010 notebook will make a definite statement about the user," said Paul Moore, senior director, mobile product marketing, Fujitsu Computer Systems. "However, the best part is what the users see when they open the lid, a proportionately huge display with crisp clear images."

The P8010 has a glossy black lid with silver accents that are alleged to give a new, fresh look to Fujitsu's P-series of notebooks. The notebook design has also changed and now allows the manufacturer to deliver the larger screen while preserving the unit's weight at a minimum (less than 1.3 kilograms).

The laptop comes with an optional built-in camera, located above the display, on its upper frame edge. It also features an integrated biometric fingerprint sensor that can act as a scroll button after login, as well as a security lock to fasten the notebook to a firm surface.

The other technical specifications that hit the FCC along with the laptop include up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, an 80GB SATA hard drive, Intel's SL7100 VL processor, a GMA GS965 integrated graphics set, audio connectors, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and an optional Bluetooth adapter. The notebook only sports three USB 2.0 connectors and a 4-pin FireWire port, but Fujitsu has not yet bothered to implement support for the upcoming USB 3.0 standard, as Asustek did with their laptop.
