 The Fujitsu M2010 Netbook comes with a 10 inch LCD screen, a 1.6GHZ Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive and an Intel GMA 950 graphics chip. As per the majority of netbooks nowadays the Fujitsu M2010 will come with Windows XP, built in stereo speakers, Ethernet, 802.11 b/g WiFi, Bluetooth and 2 USB 2.0 ports plus an SD card Reader.
The M2010 does not belong to the Amilo model range, which is why the netbook presents itself in a completely contrasting design. In opposition to the futuristic traits of the current Amilo range, the M2010 looks almost plain and common. The base unit is slightly wedge-shaped and shows itself as softly rounded and compact.
The display hinge on the devices rear edge provides for a bit more individuality, though. Therewith, the base unit is lifted at its rear edge and runs downwards in a curve. The netbook battery also finds its place here, which makes a bit more construction height available than in the front area - a principle of design already known from other manufacturers.
At 258mm, the M2010 is roughly the same width as rival 10in netbooks, however, the six-cell battery juts out at the back and pushes the depth to 205mm. The battery also adds to the thickness, measuring 43mm at the rear and 32mm at the front, while pushing the total weight to 1.33kg.
Fujitsu has gone for Intel Atom N280 processor, which runs at 1.66GHz off a 667MHz FSB. Graphics are handled by Intel GMA 950 chip, while 1GB of DDR2 memory is also installed this can be upgraded to 2GB, but there is only one slot available so you will need to ditch the preinstalled module to achieve this. Other specs include a 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Needless to say, XP Home comes preinstalled.
The 10.1in LED-backlit screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio and native resolution of 1,024 x 600. Unlike the Amilo UI 3250, the screen has a glossy coating, which means it's a magnet for reflections. Vertical viewing angles are a little disappointing and careful positioning is required to see it at its best. Still, it is bright enough to be viewed outdoors, even on a sunny day, while the glossy coating makes it look particularly vibrant indoors
Our M2010 makes a very restrained impression, as well. The Fujitsu mini-notebook presents itself completely in black. The orange sticker, which identifies the device as a prototype on the bottom side of our test device, was highlighted even more. Therefore, we must of course, emphasize that there might be deviations to the versions in retail. Fujitsu also indicates two other colour alternatives (red metallic and pearl white), which are supposed to be currently available.
