Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 12.1-Inch Ultraportable

Fujitsu have announced their latest ultraportable, the LifeBook P8020, based on Intel's Centrino 2 platform and weighing just 2.9-pounds.  Replacing the LifeBook P8010, the P8020 uses an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 ultra low voltage 1.4GHz processor with up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 12.1-inch WXGA driven by integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD video card and a dual-layer DVD burner.

Storage is via either hard-drive, in capacities up to 320GB 5,400rpm, or SSD, with both 64GB and 128GB solid-state options available.  Connectivity includes WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 and gigabit ethernet, plus there's a fingerprint reader for security and optional 1.3-megapixel webcam.  There's no 3G WWAN option, however.  Update: Fujitsu have announced that the P8020 will have a 3G WWAN option.

No use-time predictions have been made for the 6-cell, 8700mAh battery pack.  The P8020 measures 10.79 x 8.27 x 1.12-1.47 inches. The range starts at $1,799; they'll be available from November 2008.
