The wait is over, Akihabara News has published the first review of the Fujitsu FMV-U8240. Well looks like they like a lot of features but not really excited when compared to the Sony Vaio UX series from the looks and finish point of view, but really impressed with the performance and lot more aspects of the Fujitsu FMV-U8240(thanks Docteurkiki)
They have nice High definition videos of the device, make sure you watch them all. If you are not aware of the spec, here is a peek. Now so what is the conclusion from their side? These perspective will change from every other reviews and this is what Akihabara says…
The Verdict:
- Pros: CPU - PERFORMANCE, WEIGHT, KEYBOARD, LED lit Keyboard, ERGONOMICS
Cons: TOUCH SCREEN, Screen Rotation, MATERIALS

I was really shocked to see that some one has got hold of the Fujitsu FMV-U8240 so soon, and this time its the guys from Akihabara. I guess that’s the advantage of being in Japan. They are going to have a review soon.
If you need one of these, get over to Dynamism and you can pre-order them. Not sure when Fujitsu is planning to bring it to the US Markets.
