( it looks pretty hot and the specs on it are sick wish i could get my hands on a piece of hardware like that )

With the recent launch of Intel's new 'Dothan' Pentium M processor, every laptop manufacturer is rushing out new models and the Lifebook E8010 is Fujitsu-Siemens' attempt to show off the new CPU. We managed to secure the first pre-production sample in the UK, writes Lars-G?ran Nilsson.

Apart from the 1.8GHz Pentium M 745 processor and the Intel 855GME chipset, Fujitsu-Siemens has equipped the Lifebook E8010 with an Intel wireless network card to make it a full Centrino-branded machine. The wireless network card can access both 802.11b and 802.11g networks, making it a flexible feature that can be used pretty much anywhere in the world. As more wireless networks switch to the higher bandwidth 802.11g standard, it's important for any new notebook to support it.

There's also Bluetooth 1.2 support, the latest revision of the wireless standard. In order to configure Bluetooth you get a handy, easy-to-use application for connecting various devices. The only company I've come across that offers something similar is Sony. In general, most other Bluetooth utilities are very basic, so it can be awkward to get them work as they should. However, I had no problem connecting up to two different mobile phones as well as a Bluetooth-enabled printer to the Lifebook.

Seems like a pretty sweet laptop, I'm more of an Apple fan personally though.

Centrino has leveled the playing field between the two sides though..
