14 DAY TRIAL // The world’s number one Tablet PC vendor, Japanese notebook and server manufacturer Fujitsu has just launched the new LIFEBOOK LH772 premium notebook, on its official website. This is a “Made in Japan” device and that sticker itself carries a lot of professionalism and respect.
Editor’s note:
Last time I had a chance to work with a Japan-made notebook from Fujitsu was some months ago. It was a Fujitsu BIBLO model that was only sold in Japan.
We're talking about a Pentium M with an ATi video card and a Floppy drive next to a DVD-Writer.
The family got the notebook from a friend in Japan so, the parents and two kids abusing the notebook represented the second set of users that were battling with Fujitsu’s Japan-made quality and design.
The problem was the hard drive. I swapped it with a newer Samsung-made ATA 160 GB drive and I noticed that, despite all the food and liquids that had been spilled on the keyboard, the inside of the notebook was dust and dirt free.
Other than requiring a new HDD (which wasn’t Fujitsu’s responsibility anyway), the whole unit was working perfectly.
The cooling fan was clean and silent, and the floppy was also in good working order. I had tightened the screws on the back too much and the fan started touching the chassis, but after loosening those, it was perfect again.
This is a good example of what Made in Japan means for a 10 year-old used and abused notebook.
The Fujitsu Launches LIFEBOOK LH772 is powered by Intel’s new Ivy Bridge architecture and comes with an Nvidia, Kepler-based, video card handling a 14-inch High Definition SuperFine LCD screen.
The laptop comes with three popular colors: black, white and pink and, despite being just a 14” model, it also has a 10 key numpad.
