Fujitsu Laptops Have Pico Projectors Instead of Optical Drives

Those wishing that pico projectors would see some more widespread use need not wait any longer now that Fujitsu decided to sacrifice the spot usually reserved for a certain, more common piece of hardware.

Pico projectors are, as the name implies, miniature versions of those hardware components or devices that project photos or moving images on a screen, wall etc.

However, they are not overly widespread on the consumer market, at least as far as personal computers are concerned.

Apparently, Fujitsu decided it was high time this situation changed, because its two newest LifeBook series members both have one such thing.

Granted, the addition of a pico projector involved the sacrifice of the optical disk drive, since the same slot is occupied.

Then again, with how commonly used flash drives and other portable storage solutions are, not to mention external/portable ODDs themselves, this might not be too great a loss.

Fujitsu did not exactly offer any information on the projectors themselves, but it looks like it did detail the rest of the specifications.

The LifeBook P771/C is the smaller of the two, featuring a screen of 12.1 inches and native resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels.

It also has an Intel Core i5-2520M CPU (central processing unit) and 1 GB of RAM, plus a storage space of 160 GB.

Meanwhile, the LifeBook S761/C has similar specifications, except for the display, which is a 13.3-inch model with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels.

The P771/C is, oddly enough, the more expensive of the two, being set to sell, in Japan, starting in May. For ¥255,150, which is the equivalent of $3,110. As for the LifeBook S761/C, it goes for ¥219,450 ($2,675).
