The P7120 is one of the smallest laptops to sport a removeable media drive. Add to that a fingerprint reader, great battery life, and Fujitsu's indigenous ECO button feature, and you can see why this Lifebook is turning heads on the tech catwalk.

The FujitsuLifeBookP7120 is the lightest and tiniest full-feature notebook tocontain a removeable media drive. Tipping the scales at slightlymore than three pounds, the LifeBook is hardly light on computingpower. The showcase feature of the new FujitsuLifebook is of course the media bay. You can slip in an extrabattery to boost mobile longevity to an amazing-if-true 11 hours.The P7120 is also a one-of-a-kind featherweight thanks to its ECObutton. A strictly Fujitsu feature, the ECObutton can disable the optical disk, reduce screen brightness, orcut off other power-consuming features to optimize battery lifeeven more.

The rest ofthe LifeBook P7120 isn't nearly as unique, but as a wholepackage, makes the laptop pack more of a computing punch than its weight would indicate.We're talking about an Intel Pentium M Ultra Low Voltageprocessor with 1.2 GHz and the Intel 915GMS chipset forcutting-edge mobile capabilities. We're talking an IntelPRO/Wireless network connection or an Atheros Super AG WirelessLAN, along with Ethernet, optional Bluetooth, media card slotsfor photo or video files transmissions, and even high-definitionaudio jacks.

And for privacy-freaks in the IT department, we have the TrustedPlatform Module, which combines a security chip, data encryptionsoftware, and biometric fingerprintswipes to provide top notch data protection.

As if that wasn't enough to open up the wallets of CIOs in bigboxy office buildings everywhere, the P7120 Lifebookhas built-in shock absorbers to protect the hard drive fromvibrations and other causes of catastrophic data loss, andmicrophones and noise-canceling software for when VoIP goesmainstream.

When looking at moving from a desktop replacement, to an ultraportable, youhave to consider whether you can live with squinting at a small screen all day. The P7120 has a 10.6 inch XGA widescreen display, not as tiny as the Libretto's, but still smaller than the average laptop screen. If you can live with that, this Lifebook starts at under $1,700. As for reliability Fujitsu laptops have been top rated by PC Magazine in its 18th Annual Reader Satisfaction Survey.
