Fujitsu’s 12.1-inch LOOX R ultra-portable is almost here! Weighing in at a mere 2.8 pounds (1.27-k) it has an LED backlit 1,280 x 800 display, up to 4GB or memory (oh yeah) and 120GB of disk, dual-layer DVD writer, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g WiFi, SDHC slot, Firewire, fingerprint sensor, PCMCIA, and a battery running for 9.7-hours! Rumor has it this will be the first laptop to run a mobile version of Intel’s new Penryn CPU. We’ll know soon as it’s all happening in January.
