Guide Review - Fujitsu N7010 Desktop Replacement Laptop
The Fujitsu n7010 notebook is going to take some time to learn how to best use it and how to use it. With the touchpad and internal display, both using touch technology it is an adjustment that you will need to plan to take some time with.
It is important to keep in mind that this notebook is aimed at the general consumer market and the features and functions haven’t been designed for mobile professionals. While features such as the internal display can be beneficial, there are aspects of this notebook that make it not so ideal for mobile professionals.
The battery life is about average for this style of laptop. You are looking at just over 2 hours that is enough for watching a movie; be sure to turn off Wi-Fi first and dim the display some to help conserve power.
The actual construction of the N7010 is not as sturdy as other Fujitsu models and did give me some concerns. When opening and closing the N7010 I found it to be quite creaky and I was concerned about it snapping. The top part of the casing (behind the display) also felt spongy. I certainly would make sure to keep this laptop in a very well padded laptop case when traveling.
The main display provides a very crisp image and whether looking at a document or viewing a web page it is easy on the eyes. This would be useful if you need to share a presentation with a co-worker or client on your notebook.
The second display is a feature that takes some time to get the most from and I do recommend reading the User Guide that you can find on the notebook. It will give you the best instructions for using the second display and how to move programs to it.
