Desktop replacement notebook from Fujitsu is one big beast which features enough power to send many desktop computers fleeing in terror.
Fujitsu is bringing one Godzilla of a laptop to your desktop soon. This giant of a desktop replacement system is the LifeBook N6200. It features an Intel Centrino processor, a 17-inch display and is set to start pricing at $1,799 for a base configuration.
The nearly 10 pound N6200 series has built-in speakers and a Fujitsu designed subwoofer, according to a press release issued from the company. It can accommodate up to 2GB of dual channel DDR2 memory and has on-board an ATI Mobility Radeon X600 graphics processor with 128MB of dedicated video memory for high end gaming.
Other features of note on the new N6200 include the ability to quickly access TV, DVDs and CDs without booting the notebook, Tivo like software capabilities, 802.11 a/b/g wireless connectivity, dedicated media card slots for MemoryStick/SD and xD and dual hard drive support.
“For anyone serious about games, graphics or video, the LifeBook N6200 notebook delivers on all fronts,” said Paul Moore, director of product marketing for mobile computing at Fujitsu Computer Systems. “With its combination of power, performance and multi-media features, the LifeBook N6200 notebook will be a driving force in the growing popularity of desktop alternatives.”

RSSHere's why. Huge problem is the keyboard is skewed to the left of the screen... too far left and that creates two problems that I ran into right away:
1) your left elbow is going to punch your seatmate in the plane constantly... the unit is so wide and your arm is so far to the left, that to type properly your left elbow is way outside of the left edge of the screen. The touchpad is even not centered in this already not centered keyboard... the touchpad is to the left and that causes the part of my palm under the thumb to touch the pad every now and then, moving my mouse all over the place.
2) with the keyboard skewed, you can't sit with your face mid screen since the rest of your body wants to be 4 inches to the left so that you are centered on the keyboard.
Major screwup in my opinion... they just were not thinking at all.
Screen is very bright and sharp... super wide.
Battery life seems to be pretty poor, but you can't help that... it's Intel's CPU sucking the power down. I also have the 7200rpm drive and 1.3GB of DDR.
The wireless on/off switch is a little cheesy.
The speakers are better than my old Dell Latitude that just got replaced by this unit.
All in all, I wish I had waited to see one at Fry's... I would have immediately noticed the keyboard problem. I have never seen anyone do this before, so I ASSUMED that ergonomics would be at least as good as a cheaper N series I bought for my wife earlier this year.
My recommendation: go to the store and try the keyboard... you might hate it, you might not notice it.
This looks good though!
When will companies stop doing this. Centrino is a standard. Pentium M is a processor!
Apart from that this thing looks like a beauty, just that bit too expensive for me!
