Fujitsu Life book UH900???

[wesel123]

Well I'm REALLY happy with the Toughbook I just got but it'll take up too much space to use in the driver area.

So I was looking at one of these. I know that its not as tough as a Toughbook but its has what I was looking for:

1) Small
2) Touch Screen
3) Built in GPS
4) Decent amount of storage

Fujitsu makes nice stuff BUT - other than touch screen, solid state HD and built in GPS, I dont see the benefit of the $850 Fujitsu netbook over the average $300 brand _____ netbook?

Why pay $850 when you can spend like a 3rd of that and have the same size/functionality?

I have almost 62 GB on mine now just with software, maps, and music.

62 GB aint much, neither is a 5.6 inch screen... for $850

Very true. Didnt think about that. Are ther other mini's that have touch screens, that you know of???

not sure how technically minded you are, but many there are touch screen DIY kids for many netbooks. find the netbook you like and search Ebay for them.

Here's a pretty thorough review
http://www.pocketables.net/2010/03/review-fujitsu-lifebook-uh900-loox-ug90.html

The ultra-mobile PC makers like Fujitsu traditionally have priced
their models higher than the typical laptop, and much higher than
conventional netbooks. The price differential narrows considerably
when you configure a conventional machine with all the features that
Fujitsu includes:

1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 (USA) or 2.0GHz Z550 (Japan) processor
2 GB RAM
fast 30GB or 60GB SSD
LCD with 1280 x 800 pixels, 16M colors
LCD has resistive multi-touch control
1.08 lbs
Thumb-operated mouse pointer so you can use the computer while
..holding it securely in both hands, not balanced on one palm
Built in web cam for video conferencing
WiFi
Bluetooth 2.1

The UH900 runs Windows 7, and the full complement of PC software

The USA version of the UH900 does not have a 3G modem,
but does have GPS with Garmin Mobile PC software

The Japanese version has a 4G WiMax modem that does work
with Sprint/Clear service in USA.

The high resolution 5.6 inch screen will take some getting used to.

I have purchased several different brands of touchscreen laptops, netbooks, and tablets at the school system where I work and the Fujitsu Lifebook is hands down the best one I've ever laid hands on. Stray far, far away from anything Dell offers in a touchscreen or tablet, pure junk!

Just throwing this in just in case you decide to buy it.
