LifeBook P8010: Ports Aplenty

The P8010 proves that it's not necessary to sacrifice function for the sake of form. On the right-hand side of the notebook (top) is a 4X multiformat DVD burner; cleverly built into the top-left corner of the drive is a PC Card slot. To the right of the DVD burner is a USB 2.0 port, one of three on the system. Wall-to-wall ports line the entire left side of the notebook (bottom, from left to right): a Kensington lock slot, a power port, a VGA port, gigabit ethernet, two USB ports, a 4-pin Firewire port, a microphone jack, and a headphone jack. (By comparison, the MacBook Air trades off its clean design for the flexibility integrated ports offer--it has only a headphone jack, a proprietary video-out port, and one USB port.) The P8010 also has integrated 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth wireless, and a 1.3-megapixel Webcam.
