Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 now available for $849

The Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 is a tiny little machine with a 5.6 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel HD multitouch display. It looks a lot like a netbook, if one were shrunk down to half size. The keyboard is about 75% that of a full sized keyboard though, thanks to a rather large bezel on the sides of the display. You might even be able to touch type on it if you have tiny fingers.

Fujitsu is now taking orders for the UH900 for about $849. That puts this little guy squarely in Sony Vaio P territory,and it sports similar specs. The UH900 has a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 62GB SSD, and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. The mini-notebook has 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. It has a 2 cell, 1800mAh battery.

I got a chance to check out the Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 at CES, and it’s a nifty little device, although I don’t think I’d have that much use for it — especially not with a price tag that’s 2 to 3 times higher than that of most netbooks. But Fujitsu is targeting the UH900 at niche markets such as health care where the ability to carry a fully functional computer in your coat pocket could come in handy.

You can check out my hands-on video with the UH900 and Fujitsu’s latest netbook, the MH380, after the break.

No words anywhere about battery life – means could be very bad. If the freebies were an extra battery and external charger, then might be worth of buying.

On the U820, I found the 5.6″ screen is still not significantly more readable than the 5″ on UMID M1. I actually prefer M1's screen – much more easy on eyes than U820's. While one cannot tell that the M1 has a touchscreen, one can easily tell that the U820 has one because of the apparent fuzziness. M1's screen is far brighter too.

So, those who are looking at the larger screen, no need to pull the trigger. However, like the U820, this UH900 should be more like a full computer than the UMID M1, for its adequate RAM/CPU, mountable HDD, miniPCI slot and the keyboard just large enough for 10-finger touch typing.

The bottom line: for a truly pocketable computer, this is not the one; the UMID is.

Meh, it only has a 1800 mAh 2-cell unit at 7.2V that an article from jkontherun.com estimates should give 2.5 hours of run-time. For the features I'd much rather get a Viliv N5 and it's near 5 hours run-time.

Fujitsu makes very high quality equipment. I would say Brad is right that this is targeted at a niche market, but the medical industry isn't going to look at anything with that short of a run time.

I thought the Z530 only referred to 1.6 GHz CPUs,
and that Z520 only referred to 1.33 GHz Atoms.

So the UH900 should really be listed as 1.6 GHz
