n6420_glamour.jpg

In late August, Fujitsu vaguely announced that the N Series would incorporate the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The official announcement came last week, and in addition to the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, the Fujitsu Lifebook N6420 will also integrate an HD DVD-ROM.

I can count up to seven laptop vendors that are incorporating HD DVD drives, and only one using Blu-ray. Is Toshiba's standard taking the lead? Then again, all you need is one Playstation 3 to rule them all.

Fujitsu will be using Cyberlink's PowerDVD HD for playback--not the greatest software out there. Both HP and Toshiba have their own proprietary software for HD playback, which is a lot better than third-party stuff. The N6420 will also have the largest storage capacity in the laptop market: well, Toshiba and the Sony VAIO AR190 Series. Both will have 400GB hard drive options using dual SATA hard drives. The N6420 is also one of the few Media Centers that has a built-in TV tuner and RCA ports. Now if only Toshiba can get the weight under 10 pounds.
