BATTERY LIFE:
Holy cow. Egad. Dude. Depending on what you're doing, it can go over 5 hours, no joke. Pay attention to this statement: This is a full-blown laptop with a better battery life than stingy, gutless PDAs that were designed for battery life above all else (I know, I've been using Palms and then PocketPCs since the mid-90s). I bought a spare battery and I'm now wondering if I'll ever need it. As I type this, it says I have 5hrs and 18min left on the battery, which is reporting as being at 80%. It was reporting well over 6hrs at 98%. Even if that's not accurate (drive activity will cause fluctuation), I've never seen anything even remotely close to that on anything calling itself a laptop before.
Spare battery is always a good idea, especially if you're going to be using it for lengthy sessions, doing heavy processing, heavy networking/wireless, watching movies or any other form of "power user" kind of stuff. The battery life is great, but only based on how you have the U810 configured and how you're using it. Like with any other laptop, you CAN get the U810 to go through it's battery fairly quickly if you work it hard.

Product Description
The all-new Fujitsu LifeBook U810 has a 5.6" WSVGA Crystal View display and weighs only 1.56 lbs. It is one of the world's smallest convertible touchscreen notebooks. Perfect to allow you to work, IM, access e-mail, watch video, listen to MP3s, browse the Internet, take pictures, or stay connected with friends and family. 5.6WSVGA Crystal View Touch screen (1024 x 600) Display Integrated 0.3MP (640 x 480) webcam Intuitive touch or pen or using the built-in QWERTY keyboard inputs Integrated Intel Graphics with 3D Accelerator Video 1 Type I/II CF Card slot, 1 SD Card Reader Fingerprint reader Built-in 802.11a/b/g Wireless, Bluetooth v2.0 1 USB 2.0, 1 Headphone out; 1 Microphone-in, 1 VGA and 1 RJ-45 via adapter connector Unit Dimensions - 6.73 (L) X 6 (D) X 1.26 (H) Unit Weight - 1.56lbs

1) Can load youtubes, intensive flash webpage and runs DVD quality video w/o stuttering.
2) Screen size is good at 5.6" 1024x600. The screen is surprisingly clear and bright. As with most laptops, there are handy brightness controls built into the keyboard by way of the Function key (and S and D keys). I was pleasantly surprised at how dim I could kick the screen down in low light environments (saves battery power). There no graininess, the screen quality is surprisingly clear. Crystal clear, in fact - something I was not expecting. There is only a slight lighting/brightness issue that is based on viewing angle because the U810 makes use of basically a large PDA screen (stylus/touch capabilities). If you're looking at it fairly straight, it's nice and bright, but fades if you're trying to look at it from an angle (lust like any other LCD screen). Since the screen is also touchscreen, the U810 has a stylus. The touchscreen, by the way, works great if you go into Device Manager and tweak it so that it doesn't desensitize itself to save power - that keeps it nice and sensitive with no need for multiple taps to "wake it back up" after a few seconds of activity. The screen's resolution is sharp and clear at 1024x600, and with these last remaining years of this 40 year old's perfect eyesight, represents no problems for me. I'm enjoying it while it lasts, but for those whose time has already come for eyesight correction, the features we're already familiar with in the Windows operating system are there to assist. Further, the unit comes with magnification software preinstalled for further functionality.
3) A real Keyboard. The keyboard is what I like most. Its small but manage to type at quite a good speed. Keyboard has also a good feel.
4) A Laptop + Tablet design and in small form  - This is the cutest Laptop I have ever seen. Small and powerful.
5) One of the fastest UMPC now. And for the price and performance  - no other UMPC can beat
6) This UMPC is actually quite fast for the the specs. It can play all types of video smoothly and handle intensive website with tons of flash very well. Internet connection is as fast as my Asus G1 (2Ghz duo core 2). LCD is sharp and clear but text a little hard to read. But this is easily overcome by increasing the dpi from 96 to 125. Now I can read at an arm's length.  Battery is impressive. It runs 5 hrs with normal usage (surfing and running office). I also like the clam shell design. Its actually quite 80s looking (which I like) but yet has a modern feel. I also like the fact that it is slim compare to oqo2. Mouse control is also good (I am use to IBM little red dot type) and u can actually click on it.
7 COOL ADDITIONAL KEYS:Fuji was smart enough to add a few things to ease the uncertainty about that keyboard. There is an additional button on the right side of the screen right under the fingerprint reader. It has a symbol on it that looks like "CaltD", but much more symbol-like. I could not figure out what it was, so I just hit it for the sake of it to see what would happen. Lo and behold, it is a CTRL-ALT-DEL button. Now that's handy! Almost as handy as the other programmable keys by the mouse stick, which allowed me to get my HOME and END keys back! Also, there are three buttons at the bottom middle of the screen itself. The left-most button turns the keyboard headlights on and off (see next review item). The middle button brings up the on-screen keyboard for tablet mode. The right-most button changes the screen orientation from panoramic to tablet mode and back again (orientation can be changed to all 4 sides).
8) PORTABILITY/WEIGHT/SIZE:The first time you open up the box and pull it out of the styrofoam, you immediately recognize that this unit is heavier than it looks. You are instantly woken up to the fact that this is a real laptop and not some cheap little plastic toy. I feel it important to stress that this thing is too big and heavy to put in a pocket (in other words, it's small and light , but not that small and light), which means I can't slam it around like I do with my PDA (PocketPC). It needs to be carried in a protective case of some type (see next item). The portability of this unit is fantastic. I find myself taking it with me to restaurants on lunch breaks. And it's so dinky that when the food shows up, I sill get to leave it on the table while I eat. Years of PDA ownership has allowed me to grow accustomed to watching movies with headphones on while I eat. Compared to my PDA, the U810 makes it feel like I'm sitting in front of a plasma. :-)
9) PROTECTIVE CASE:Take heed - The U810 does not come with any protective case of any kind whatsoever. I went with the "convertible bump case" (there is a non-convertible version), it's absolutely fantastic. Some real brilliance went into that case. The convertible bump case is vented and accessible, and it allows you to use the unit in any mode while still in a protective case (think about that for a minute). It also has a shoulder strap that connects with heavy duty metal clips, which causes the U810 to become a true, sturdy road warrior package. I will state that the case also covers up the front status lights quite a bit, so I often find myself pulling down the edge of the case a bit to see if the hard drive is busy. The case/U810 is so small, I carry my U810 right under and slightly behind my right arm, slung over my left shoulder and UNDERNEATH my jacket - the world's first "concealed carry" laptop. Without taking the sling (holster?) off, I just whip it around and set the unit on my lap (if something else is on my lap as a booster) or any table in front of me and start working. When I gotta move, I just close the lid (which I have set for hibernate), zip 'er up, flip it down to my side and off I go. The unit might be too big and a tad too heavy to stick in a pocket, but slung over the shoulder in the convertible bump case makes it virtually disappear - a grin will creep across your face knowing that this t little tiny thing over your shoulder that you can barely tell is there is a full-blown laptop.
10) 133x speed (or faster) 4GB SDHC card for Vista's ReadyBoost (the SD slot is actually full SDHC). You can get a bigger card like I did, but don't bother. The ReadyBoost feature maxes out at 4GB and it's my understanding that you can't use the rest of the card for anything else while it's devoted to ReadyBoost. If you're insane and not interested in using ReadyBoost on the U810, feel free to get a huge card.
11) Convertible "bump case". Mandatory. There is a non convertible version - make sure you get the convertible one, which allows you to keep the U810 in a protective case while you use it in normal or tablet modes. This is also very applicable when you get to the next main section of this review.
12) TEMPERATURE:People will wonder about this, and they should. The U810 is small and thus it warms up quickly. It doesn't get hot, as it does cool itself very well. But it does get warm. Quite warm, in fact, particularly when the hard drive is getting slammed - like during the 3 hour install of Vista SP1 (I have no idea why it took that long, the U810 runs everything else at an acceptably predictable speeds). It really warmed up for that. But it does cool off quickly when the heavy action is over. During normal use, from the middle of the keyboard to the left side of it, you will always be able feel a small amount of radiant heat coming up between the keys. It's not a problem, nor is it even annoying, but it is noticeable (all laptops do this to some extent). The bottom of the unit also gets very warm during heavy use. Not quite hot (I've had laptops darned near burn me because they ran so hot), but definitely something to think about as a good reason to get that bump case, which does a fantastic job of letting you forget about that warm underside. The main heat release is from the exhaust vent, which I mentioned above in the keyboard section of this review. Overall, the U810 runs cool enough to not cause any concerns. Frankly, there are units out there that are extremely popular and run downright hot to the touch, especially on the bottom. They've made lots of news in recent years by catching on fire on airplanes. The U810 isn't anything like that. Buy with confidence.
13) MOUSE:The mouse controls, though extremely robust, durable and functional, are oddly placed and you have to stop whatever you're doing to use them because it's a two-handed mouse due to how they split the controls up. In fairness, however, that's how ALL laptops are. I discovered that the "stick mouse" on the U810 actually has the "tap to select" and "double tap to open/run" functionality built into the stick itself - yet another pleasant surprise that forced me to grin. I really enjoy that Fuji built this unit with quality all over the place. Technologically speaking, the U810 surprises me (in a good way) everywhere I poke around on it. Still, your best bet is to get yourself a tiny bluetooth mouse for serious work, it will save you a lot of time and feel much more natural. I bought the Targus bluetooth mouse.
14) COOLING FAN:I've seen some reviews claiming that the FUJITSU U810's cooling fan is too loud, while others claim it's quiet. To be as accurate as I can, it's a lot quieter than every laptop I've ever owned, but it's not silent either. The speed of the fan changes depending on heat conditions brought on by drive activity, cpu load and ambient temperature. In a quiet room, you'll hear it's little tiny fan come on. Once it comes on, it stays on - the only thing that changes after that is the speed. At slow speeds, it is in fact very quiet. When it has to kick the speed up, it's still pretty quiet. Now, if you've read to this point because you have some kind of fetish/hangup/paranoia about cooling fan noise, you need to get outside into some fresh air more often. Yes, the fan does get louder, but not "loud". If this fan was twice as loud as it is in "full blast mode", it would still be far quieter than the lowest mode of my full-sized laptop's cooling fan, which runs at three speeds - "noisy", "loud" and "earplugs". Don't worry about the U810's fan noise, it's just fine.
15) WEBCAM/SPEAKER/MICROPHONE/HEADPHONES:I don't use this stuff much, but look forward to it becoming the norm someday. I was really pleasantly surprised when I fired up the cam and saw my face looking back at me on the screen. It performed great, I was impressed by not only the quality of the tiny little "pinhole" cam at the top of the screen (amazing), but also audio quality (with phones on) and was blown away by the mic quality. I keep expecting the U810 to let me down and it keeps pleasantly surprising me by failing to do so.
16) POWER AND WIRELESS ON/OFF SWITCHES:Whoops - what happened here, Fuji? Ok, I found something I don't like. The slider-type power and wireless on/off buttons on each side of the unit are not only ugly, but they appear to be made out of really cheap plastic - the kind that gets brittle and eventually cracks and breaks as it gets old (I hope I'm wrong). Though they work fine, I'm worried about their durability. Luckily, the U810 has the Flip-Start feature, which power's on the unit when you open the U810 up. Also, you can shut the unit down from the screen or have it set for auto-sleep/hibernate when the U810 is closed. This will allow me to almost never have to touch that power switch. Then there's that wireless on/off switch, which appears to be identical to the power switch. I know I'm going to have to use that one a lot, so time will tell if it will hold up. Both switches look really cheesy, breakable and low-rent. Thankfully, they are very small and close to the same silvery color as the sides of the unit, so they blend in. Even better, the bump case goes a long way to hiding them. I'm now much happier about spending that additional $99 on that Extended Warranty from Fuji, which means I'm fully covered for 2 years.
17) USB PORT:On the right side, there is a USB port with a small, permanently attached rubber cap that opens and closes over it, much like what you see on cell phones for power and headphone jacks. I find the cover to be a bit tricky to open, I have to pick at it with a fingernail, as it's very flush with the surface of the unit and is a snug fit. It works great, but I have to wrestle with that cover to get it both on and off.
18) Excellent FUJITSU FMVNBP161 battery life. You get near to meeting the stated 5hr work time with light usage. Even heavier usage does not seem to drain the battery like some competing machines.
-The option for inking or simple typing. I find this to be a great mix. Yes, neither is perfect, but both work well. There is debate about whether Fujitsu has included palm rejection software to make up for not having an active digitizer, and in my experience they either have or have made a great screen. I've been able to ink in all orientations, but my preference is for a hard touch.
