Fujitsu LifeBook P1610

The LifeBook P1610 is a featherweight that easily slips into any portfolio. What’s more, for its size, the LifeBook P1610 packs in a lot: a 1.2-GHz Core Solo processor, 1GB of RAM, and up to 80GB of storage. It delivers good pen performance and more than enough power for running several applications simultaneously. The keyboard is surprisingly roomy, considering that it fits beneath a diminutive 8.9-inch screen. In deference to weight, there is no digitizer here, but the touchscreen is bright and scales down well from its native resolution. The built-in microphone is especially good at filtering noises in noisy rooms. If portability is top priority, the Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 is a solid option.
