- Fujitsu LifeBook N7010: Two Screens
March 4, 2009 By Eric Grevstad -- This can't be right. Fujitsu says its new desktop replacement notebook has a cinematic 16:9-aspect-ratio screen for watching high-definition videos or Blu-ray movies. This LCD divides out to 16:9 all right, but its resolution is too low. And it's only 4 inches big, for God's sake, you need to squint to see the actors and -- Oh. Sorry. Our bad. We were looking at the wrong screen. The other one is a good 16 inches diagonally. The Blu-ray player works fine with it. For $1,499, the Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 is a laptop that gives you two displays. The main screen is a 16-inch, HD-ready CrystalView panel with 1,366 by 768 resolution (though HD snobs will sniff that Fujitsu's definition of high definition is 720p rather than 1080p).

- Windows 7 gets down to business
March 4, 2009 by Ina Fried -- With Windows 7, Microsoft is trying not to make the same mistakes it did with Windows Vista. That much is clear. One of the biggest things Microsoft is trying to do different this time is be a more dependable software vendor. The company knows it lost some credibility with businesses by changing its Vista plans midstream and also having several delays. "We know the stop and start nature of Vista created big challenges for our customers and partners," Microsoft senior director Gavriella Schuster said in an interview this week. Microsoft is aiming to get Windows 7, currently in beta, ready to go in time to be included on PCs sold during the 2009 holiday shopping season.
