New Desktop Replacement N5000

Fujitsu has designed tthe N5000 to be a desktop replacement, and the 10.34-pound notebook uses either a 3.0-GHz or 3.2-GHz "Northwood" class desktop Pentium 4, a slight upgrade over the 2.8-GHz and 3.0-GHz options used in the previous generation.

Holy crap, 10.34 pounds? Does it come with a free fork lift?

I think my desktop computer weighs less than that!

 

Ya know, I just don't get the attraction of DTRs. I understand the thinking. But for the money, you could get like four desktops! I guess it's that American mentality that bigger is better or whatever. Doesn't anybody want to be James Bond with the micro-spy stuff? Sheesh![8D]

 

Let's not dismiss DTRs too fast. For someone with limited work space or someone who cannot afford to buy both a desktop and a laptop, a DTR is a good compromise.

Sure, it weighs a ton. However, if one does not travel with it often, that should not be too much of problem.

The N5010 was intended for gamers. According to Fujitsu, people buy it for all kinds of reasons, one of them being the incredible quality of the display.

 

dh, of course you're right...if you have the money for a DTR, it's a fine way to go.

How about a Murphy Notebook?

That would be cool. The back of the screen is bolted to the wall and the keyboard flips down when you want to use it. Then back up (and out of the way) when you're done with your household computing chores![ ]

 

10lbs.. heavy but not as heavy as my monitor and desktop, nor as cumbersome in the livingroom, or on sofa.

why to go with nseries fujitsu

1. best display around... (maybe sony x-brite compares)
2. 800 meg bus
3. 64meg video card
4. dvd rw
4. sold.

(sager machine might come close, but not the display of fujitsu)

 

i do a lot of 3d animation, and there's no way i could do so on a p-series or something tiny (although the attraction to those tiny computers is still there...)

 

I am really interested in some feedback on the N5010 as I am 90% convinced on buying one really soon. I have looked at the P20 (P25) and the HP ZD7000 but have heard better reliability reports from Fujitsu users, i have also only been able to be hands on with the E and C series. One thing that really helps is the international warranty as I am normally based in Sydney, will buy the machine in California and use for the first 5 months in London!

The weight issue is Ok by me, the internals are better than my present desktop and i need a large screen as i do a lot of detail work.

any feedback on www.laptopsinc.com also greatly appreciated.

thx,
Chugger

 

I bought from them, as have many others with Fujitsu notebooks. They are a reputable company and will work hard to make sure you're taken care of.
