Fujitsu launches A-line
According to the Japanese manufacturer, the A series is "designed to cater to the requirements of corporate, home office and value-conscious consumers". However, there are few bells and whistles included in this lineup, making this budget offering more suitable for simple computing tasks. Both the LifeBook A6010 and A3110 are 15.4-inch midsized notebooks, with the former sporting an Intel Core Duo processor and the latter with either an AMD Turion 64 X2 or Mobile Sempron chip. Corporate features include a harddisk sensor which parks the reader arm in the event of shock to protect data integrity, as well as a spill-resistant keyboard. The sensor can also be set to automatically password-lock the storage device if it detects motion, preventing a thief from accessing your valuable data. Missing from these notebooks is a fingerprint sensor, TPM security chip and Bluetooth connectivity. The bundled four-cell battery is rated for 2.8 hours for the A6010 and 1.9 hours for the A3110 Turion unit (the Sempron model has a slightly longer battery life of 2 hours). A S$320 (US$203.59) six-cell option is available for those who do not appreciate being tied to the mains, which increases the A6010 uptime to 4.5 hours, the A3110 Turion notebook to 3.1 hours, and the Sempron A3110 to 3.2 hours. The LifeBook A3110 will be available from October with a starting price of S$1,998 (US$1,471.03) for the Sempron model. The price and availability of the A6010 will be confirmed at a later date.
