| Fujitsu Laptops Featuring Samsung SSDs |
Fujitsu's Lifebook Q and B series ultra-portable notebooks are getting a major performance boost. Both laptops now have an upgrade option that lets you have one of Samsung's new SSDs (solid-state drives, their new flash memory-based drives) instead of the conventional hard drive. The two drive options are 16GB and 32GB, and they add $700 and $1,400 (respectively) to the cost of the laptop. The new SSDs definitely give the two Lifebooks a serious performance boost. Samsung's SSD can access data so fast that it's not even comparable to standard hard drives. But is it worth the price? I guess it depends on how much you're willing to spend for the extra performance. Here is a video showing the new SSD in action. The video shows two FMV-B8230 laptops; the one on the left has an SSD drive, and the one on the right has the standard 5400RPM hard drive. As you can see, the one on the left boots Windows XP considerably faster. For more info, see this article by DailyTech.
