- Back in 2008 Fujitsu released the Lifebook P1630, a compact laptop that flips into a tablet. It was very expensive upon release and thanks to Douglas I can show you one that's in pristine condition! Let's take a look at this odd Japanese notebook :) #fujitsu #laptop #review

A big thanks to all of you for tuning into my content! We finally move into our home after much waiting and delays. This means I can finally setup a proper studio and space to film :)
Best of luck to you.
ok 😊
Surely a detailed setup tour video!
Congratulations on the new home for you and yours! May you fill it with loads of happy memories.

The lead note is because they used leaded solder in cables and on the PCB. It's extremely unlikely you'll have any contact with it, but it's better to do due diligence.
Yes! You make my day when you make a video😊
Keep it up man😄
Fujitsu is a worldwide IT Service and hardware company. The Airconditioner business was acquired by them (GENERAL brand) and does a lot of advertising in Australia
They also make camera films and other things

Fujitsu has been making computers since the 80s and the earliest Lifebook I am aware of was in 2003. They didn't choose the name to sound like the Macbook range as the first Macbook wasn't released until 2006. The NEC Ultralite in 1988 was the first laptop to be coined a "notebook" PC and other manufactures, including Apple, jumped on the name to distinguish the more portable laptop series from the earlier luggable type. Hence why there are a number of laptops from the 90s and 2000s to have book in the name.
It's hard for me to picture just how small that computer is compared to a regular laptop. Fujitsu Lifebooks were available in Australia at one point, when my mother worked for the Royal District Nursing Service, she was allotted one, it was also a convertible tablet computer with Windows XP Tablet PC on it. It was a very bulky laptop and it had a built in optical drive of some variant.
Fujitsu still makes new laptops and desktops. Fujitsu and NEC (two of Japan’s major domestic PC manufacturers) can still be found deployed in large numbers in every school and office in Japan.
Add Panasonic and VAIO (not SONY anymore) :)
Many "refurbished computer" sites in Romania import Fujitsu office PCs and workstations from wherever
The soft-felt material on the bottom is such a Fujitsu thing! They also used this on their Stylistic tablets.
Actually a good idea, because it's easy to grab when holding it with one hand.
I don't watch you often anymore, but I love little devices like this :-) . Good to see you are still doing well
I've got a Lifebook P1610. It came with 512 MB of RAM, so I bought a 1 GB MicroDIMM module from China and upgraded it. The 2 GB modules are far more expensive than 1 GB modules, and Fujitsu's documentation says that it only supports a max of 1 GB.
My unit is made in Germany, probably cause it's branded as Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
I think I have one of those.
Wow .. I just bought 5 p1610 models.. Thanks for the video!!
always wanted one of these small laptops that had a core 2 duo, not a atom :D
My sister had a netbook with a atom and was running a cut door version of Windows XP. "Starter" maybe? Next to useless when new. Completely useless later on. I installed Puppy Linux on it and still useless but better than the Windows.
Look into the Thinkpad X61! Also a tiny laptop,but with core 2 duo. I have one but with a broken screen
Those old atom processors really sucked 😩
The duos were such an infinitely better product and computers that run them are not actual e waste like atoms, it’s a bummer atoms ruined so many laptops
@@unhhgcrxexhjvuvujchcrzwzwz7956 Like the Thinkpad X61/60. 11 inch laptop/tablet that used a C2D and not an Atom. Still usable today if you don't need super high performance. Besides, I sthink such laptops are considered "subnotebooks" and not netbooks. The subnotebook class kinda got replaced by the ultrabooks though.
You've got talent, keep showcasing it

Paint session was amazing 😄
My in-laws have the first-gen i5 version of this - I want to say a dual-core quad-thread chip - and it’s honestly not much faster than this one is.
The hinges on these were genius engineering.
LOVE YOUR VIDS BEEN WATCHING SINCE THE BEGINING
Happy to see you back! :)
8:42 and the animated characters. I retired as a software engineer in the banking industry in the US last year. Way back when, we were transitioning out of main frames to Oracle based banking software. Everyone was still on the computer room floor. Extremely loud. I had web pages to help the operations dept. out. We also had a deaf computer operator. I used those characters on a few pages to catch someone's eye if they needed to look but were focused on something else. Actually impressed some prospective clients. Worked for a great outfit that trusted me and allowed me to do goofy stuff like that because I felt like it.
As an artist who started off with a laptop similar like this (the Lenovo Thinkpad X200-T) before ever acquiring a Wacom, to a then XP-Pen, I always have a fascinating awe with laptops that would turn into a tablet with a flip of the display panel, drivers included and everything, depending what laptop you own. With me, I had the default Wacom drivers with the old Thinkpad laptop, and it was techically a gateway to draw digitally. Nowadays, tablets just have a wireless pen that only functions the same as the typical touch of a tablet with a finger, no drivers or anything, and it just sucks, really compared to back then, so having to look at these laptop/tablet hybrids again, is like a gateway of a "what could've been"...
TIL Fujitsu makes Air Conditioners. I think here in the states, I associate Fujitsu with cheap point-and-shoot cameras from the early 00s. And maybe printers before that?
Nice to see your upload vids again ❤
From 🇵🇭
Cheers!
Fujitsu's laptops are genuinely really good machines, i and my dad have both had old workstation Celsius H-series laptops and they have served us well
_Most people know that Fujitsu makes air conditioners_
I have never heard of that, I haven't seen many AC units at all though. Fujitsu to me has always been either electronics or like cheap camera rolls.
Starting with Windows Vista or 7, manufacturers would include a recovery partition on the hard drive instead of a recovery CD
There is one feature japanese laptops have which I long for: dust covers for the heat sink. It opens exactly like the hdd and ram cover and is meant to allow the user to easily clean dust from the cpu heat sink.
This convertible tablet form factor was big back then. My last 2 laptops that I still have also take this form, although a bit bigger. They were from 2008 and 2012. The 2012 Thinkpad X230 Tablet I still use to this day
They did link up with Siemens around 20* years ago in the uk. These were good, but one I had a small fault. It was before touch screen. First touch screen, was a mobile. Now on iPhone and iPad. Basically what you use every day.
Holy hell, he's back. Congrats on the new home. Did you see that mrwhostheboss used your clips in his latest video :).
Back in 2006 my dad got a very similar netbook called Flybook from Italy. It ran Windows XP though, but it had the swivel display and touch pen.
Yes, it's an old vidoecam, but it looks like the lens is dirty or cloudy.
Heyyyy I have a few generations after this the t901, I actually have 2 of these and love them so much!! It's such a neat and durable computer!!!
had a ton of fujitsu and fujitsu siemens laptops, they were all great. underrated
I picked up a Fujitsu lifebook ah530 from a thrift store a few months ago for $20. I slathered some new therm paste and threw in a old SSD and installed windows 10. The old beast still works great. The battery still holds a charge. It is great for stuff like basic browsing and TH-cam and even did great in a zoom meeting not long ago. I had no idea Fujitsu made laptops and almost passed think it was a netbook or one of those $100 drugstore tablet computer junk from back in the day
If this PC can load with 4GB RAM, you lucky. CAN install the new Ubuntu OS in this old PC :)
2008 was 16 years ago. 😭
Fujitsu may not have a presence in Australia but they are still everywhere. They're FFNA decision has factories in NY, California, and Tennessee. I worked in their Plattsburgh NY facility for a few years.
I hope you plan do a video of the sharp aquos keitai phone on the table at 3:03 👀
Hirens boot CD is a handy tool to reset login passwords, I used it all the time at my old job at a PC repair shop.
I get why small netbooks arent really a thing anymore on the consumer side (besides Chromebooks), its sad because I love the 11in form factor so much
I had one of these laptops. They were so cool. I bought mine secondhand. I loved it.
I’d love to see a video of you covering tough books
I did a video about a toughbook a few years back :)
Still got my lifebook t4220, the trackpad stopped working a while ago, and the battery has been long dead, but it's still great.
Hmm, I got a laptop handed down from my uncle and it was LG Xnote C1 that had rotatable monitor and touchscreen, which can be used with stylus that comes with the laptop. It had a mobile nvidia gpu too (7300 Go). Activating SRS WOW on it felt like magic, and RAM (1GB) was pretty usable as is. The laptop was released in 2006.
I have a later version of this Fujitsu Lifebook that I got in a thrift store for $15. Has a Core I5 processor, and it's really a great little laptop, if you don't mind the really small screen. You could think of it as a netbook on steroids.
I had a Dell Latitude XT2 in college back in the day. It was a pretty awesome device, but like this one super expensive.
I love these videos, keep up the good work!
U MADE A NEW VIDEOOOOOOO I WAS HOPINGG
I have a Fujitsu Stylistic ST-5020 that I had purchased a little over a year ago, and I have had an AMAZING experience with it. It has been upgraded to 2 gigabytes of DDR-333 RAM, but still has the original HDD with a fresh copy of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 on it. The stylus is very accurate, and I have yet to encounter a problem with the screen input. Mine did come with the Intel Centrino package, meaning that it has a Pentium 3 ULV 733, Intel 2200BG 2.4ghz wifi, but sadly it didn't have the optional Bluetooth. I will likely get a PC card with Bluetooth for it at some point. Oh, and I daily use the thing for school, and it is surprisingly capable online today.
Aye, since in Britain air conditioners are less common and people wouldn't care to notice, Fujitsu here is more known for their printers that seem to be everywhere (where did they come from???)
The turbo netbook we all want.
Worth the lead.
this xperience is nostalgic. very nostalgic
I'm in the US, Fujitsu laptops are extinct here. But when I was a kid in the early 2000's, I remember everytime I would go to a doctor's office they would have one of these Fujitsu convertibles, and would take notes on it. I'm not sure if their was a use case for it (need actual signatures?), or if they were just a status symbol, but I have never seen a non fancy or a recent one before.
Took a big turn when you released the XP.
i had a fujitsu tablet with a leather case you could put your hand in and use it while walking around. it had win98 on it and was pretty snappy....wish i hadn't gotten rid of it now.
Great laptop great work true legendary man never forgot ❤
Re: touchscreen, you might need to press a little harder. Lots of pre-iPhone touchscreens like this one were resistive kind that detects electrical shorts between special patterned plastic film and glass, and it needed more concentrated pressure unlike capacitive screens. I've heard a lot of complaints that these screens were "unresponsive" when people coming from iPhone were using fingers rather than nails or were too gentle with it. Resistive screens had higher touch resolution and better linearity at that time but were phased out due to subpar experience from plasticky feel that were ultimately could not be improved.
Great video really enjoyed watching. My first laptop was a Dell Inspiron 1300.
Yooo new psivewri video 🔥🔥
I have both the U1010 and U2010. Bty upgraded to SSD with PATA to MSATA adapter. However, after many years, the LCD melted.
This reminds me that I should one day fix my HP TC1100. The only thing it does at startup is either turn on, turn off and turn on again or turn on and display a VERY faint image of the HP logo along with an error message.
Ive got a newish arrows tab. The pen has come a long way!
They still sell a lot of brand new laptops here in Bulgaria.
I also have a 2 in 1 Fujitsu, it's a T731 so it's newer and it has a 12 inch display
I know there is a Linux distribution that is all text based that will clear a password on Windows 10. Don't think you can see the password, but you can change the settings so the OS doesn't think a password was ever set. Used that on a laptop a few years ago. Stick a USB stick with the Linux on it, boot up to use the Linux stick, follow the instructions.
Babe wake up... theres a new psivewri video !
Thank you for the video! Very interesting
A companion for life. A huge promise for an electronic device. From my experience from other fujitsu laptops, it does seem true though. My go to retrogaming laptop is the first one i ever owned. And it still works. Battery is dead and i'm not ordering a new one. Interestingly they still offer replacements. It was in use by my sister a few years back too, for schoolwork and whatnot. Not a speedy one but does run windows 10 just fine.
They only sell to business customers nowadays, but you can get used ones pretty cheap. Non obsolete used ones. And as far as i have found, they are the only ones that still have easy access to upgrading storage. I miss the time when most laptops had that.
Do they still have lead in the things... I can't find any notion about it, mostly because searching for "lead" gives results about the fujitsu leaders and other non metal lead things. I would like to think they fixed the thing as soon as it was discovered, but never trust a company to address a problem unless there is a financial reason. Chemical hazard is a pretty large financial reason though.
I think I would benefict from display touchscreen recalibration. It should be a part of Control panel - Pen And Input device or TabletPC settings or quite literally - TabletCalibration option :D
I love these videos :D
I have this exact same laptop, given to me by my father, because he needed a touchscreen laptop for graphic design. I planned to revive it but gave up because I can't find the hard drive with the connector in this day and age. Guess I'll try searching obscure Chinese manufacture sites
Fold around keyboard, stylus touchscreen and fingerprint scanner? Sounds like a modern productivity laptop!
“So they want you to eat this” ffs 🤣
nice video! like always :))
Kind of makes me think of the ThinkPad X230 laptop. Similar form factor, and also is a business laptop.
6:27 Probably a translation error, because the French version says NE PAS MANGER, which is the direct translation for "do not eat".
Oh god those ULV CPUs were sluggish even when they were new. I remember doing a PLL mod to overclock my SU7300 and it was still slow at 1.9Ghz lmao
0:20 funny, here in germany they are primary known for making computers.
Fujitsu-Siemens probably.
@@ProbablyAnAmateur Up until 2009. Then it was only Fujitsu. I still have my Scaleo 600 with a Pentium 4.
It’s funny you saying most people don’t want or need a touchscreen on a laptop, since it seems like every pc laptop now has one. To me, this thing was ahead of its time.
Is no one talking about the shrek drawing💀
Gotta say I'm pretty jelly with a side of toast over the condition of that lifebook.
HP had a small laptop like that one with the screen gimmick, but Im not sure if it was older because iirc that one came with windows XP. It used normal laptop parts, so I think this one should be a bit smaller than that one.
Those are from HP Compaq tc series, which became Compaq/EliteBook 2700 series later. There's also Pavilion tx series in HP's consumer line.
That old Intel SSD looks pretty damn cool.
2:11 small correction a microdrive is a hard drive the size of a cf card that is a hard drive as well
Awesome video
Hello! I bought an old Vintage Trogon Green 735 Laptop from Ebay. It came with no power cord and has Windows ME. It's in good condition considering the age of the laptop. By the way, its thick and heavy. I tried researching the device on the internet but I can't find it. The company probably went out of business. Have you heard of this device and do you have any information on this computer? Thanks, Greg
What's the model number of that Aquos flip phone? It looks really cool!
I actually wanted to buy that recently on eBay tho it was $250 exc shipping which is actually expensive. It was New.
0:17 whaaaaaaat? lol I've only seen Fujitsu cameras, and printers in the U.S. lol
Say what. You are not familiar with FSC as computer maker? At some point you should try their (in)famous Amilo devices. I for my part stick to Celsius, their pro line. Still have a beast from 2011 for occasional use.
Can you upload those recovery discs to the Internet Archive? I have this exact machine and I would love to have the recovery images.
That thumbnail is 🔥🔥🔥
I was given a free fujitsu lifebook 17", but it had no screws and was all in peices (I do know how to put it together, but not without screws)
I remember my Grandads first computer was a Fujitsu laptop, the only one I ever saw
I like it.
You have to max it out, but it could be SOMEwhat useful.
I have a Dell Latitude XT convertible, its similar to this but uses an 1.8" CIF hard drive, i bought a CIF to msata adapter to install an SSD, but still have to install the OS.
I might do a XP Tablet Edition and Windows Vista Multiboot
Man, windows vista!❤
I do not want to believe that 2008 is 16 years ago.
That looked like a pretty neat device, and yes I too would have gone for Windows XP on 1GB of RAM, since it would have probably worked better :)
My configuration would have been the 1GB RAM and the 80GB Intel SSD on Windows XP.
Same hinge mechanism as my ThinkPad X200 tablet, rotating centre hinge
Clay desiccant is getting more common King!
