Fujitsu's Colourful New L Series Notebooks

It's like a barbie girl

Fujitsu Lifebook L1010

The Japanese company has released its L Series notebooks to appeal to "tech-savvy, discerning young adults"; members of Generation Y who want their computer to stand out from common grey and black drones.

What better way to do that than to make one look like it was coated in Barbie's fingernail polish?

Thankfully, the Fujitsu LifeBook L1010 is more than just a glossy coat of pink, purple, blue or black paint.

The L1010 also boasts a stylish design, with rounded edges, a slender profile and hinge that is barely visible when the screen is shut.

The colour continues inside as well, though the laptop's screen and keyboard has a practical white matte finish, allowing you to see the keys easily in dim light.

The L1010 is well-equipped to handle most tasks. Its speedy 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor is helped by 2GB RAM and is hard to beat. With multiple programs crowding the screen, and Windows Vista Home Premium, the computer still managed to open more and more applications in a timely fashion.

The only time we experienced significant lag was when opening large photos from a DVD disc. Perhaps due to its slim profile, the DVD Super Multi Drive also developed a disturbing wobble while it spun the disc.

In addition to a DVD drive, this laptop comes loaded with all the connectivity you might expect, including three USB ports, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI output and input, an Ethernet port, ExpressCard slot and space for memory cards including SDHC and Memory Stick Pro.

The computer is also equipped with wireless internet access (n) and a 250GB hard drive to save all that you download.

Its 14.1in screen is capable of displaying web offerings in detail, with 1280x800 pixels, though it does have a tendency to reflect the light.

The keyboard, as well as being appropriately white, is well spaced for rapid-fire typing. Some keys have been squashed into position, such as the arrow and Delete buttons, but everything is about where you'd expect it and the matte finish helps avoid mis-hits.

Fujitsu LifeBook L1010 Price: $1349
