Apparently Fujitsu understands that not all business travelers have burgeoning corporate expense accounts ready and willing to absorb the cost of the latest $3,000 ultra-portable business machine. Their new C1410 notebook offers up a Core Duo processor, a 15.4-inch XGA display, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.0 and up to 100GB of storage, with basic configurations starting at just $1,199. We understand that carrying around a 6.6-pound machine (.1-pound lighter than Lenovo’s widely praised and oft-copied ThinkPad Z61m) might be out of the question for some airport rats, but those willing to deal with the extra weight can also enjoy the 11-hours of battery life Fujitsu promises with the addition of an extra cell in a modular bay. Just make sure you get a laptop backpack with some extra padding in the straps to make the arduous walk from tarmac to taxi a little easier.

Review By Fujitsu

The all-new LifeBook C1410 notebook offers the latest Intel® Core™ Duo processor with an incredible 15.4″ Crystal View wide XGA display. At less than 6.4 lbs, this full-featured notebook is surprisingly mobile, powerful, and offers an excellent value for your money. With the available 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless communication, cut the cords and gain the freedom and flexibility to work wherever you want. For extended computing sessions an optional high capacity battery combined with the addition of the optional modular bay battery delivers up to 11 hours1 of uninterrupted productivity, e-mailing or Web browsing. Now that’s a work horse.
