Fujitsu’s 12.1-inch LOOX R: world’s first Penryn ultra-portable?

Filed under:

That unassuming little 12.1-inch laptop is Fujitsu’s LOOX R ultra-portable. It weighs in at 1.27-kg (2.8-pounds) with an LED backlit 1,280 x 800 display, up to 4GB or memory and 120GB of disk, dual-layer DVD writer, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g WiFi, SDHC slot, Firewire, fingerprint sensor, PCMCIA, and more. Lots to like already. Now this: a standard battery running for 9.7-hours with the help of a purposely unspecified Intel processor. With an expected January ship, is it any wonder we’re speculating that this is the world’s first laptop to run a mobile version of Intel’s new Penryn CPU rumored for release on January 6th? The first of many we’ll see launch in the new year.
