A telecommuter works remotely, usually from home, so his or her laptop must be powerful enough to serve as a makeshift satellite office. A machine with a split personality is thus required, which comes loaded with enough features to serve as a desktop alternative, yet remains portable enough to transport easily when necessary. (Although the telecommuter may not travel a lot, something that can be carried comfortably for those occasional trips to the office is required.) The Fujitsu LifeBook N7010 meets all of the telecommuter’s needs, and has some fancy extra touches to boot. The main screen is a large 16-inch crystal-view LCD, but there’s also a handy four-inch touch screen allowing for easy multi-tasking by keeping information like slide shows, CD/DVD controls, or application shortcuts visible and accessible at all times. Plus, there’s a built-in Webcam (which is great for virtual meetings and Web conferences).
