Introduction

The new Fujitsu Lifebook N3511 takes a stab at the multimedia-centric notebook market by adding an integrated TV tuner and a remote control to its list of one-ups. While the N3511 may come with all the bells and whistles you would expect, it is still a heavy system especially when compared to its competitors. We also aren't sure that it's small 15.4-inch screen will entice media enthusiasts enough to jump into the Fujitsu camp.

 

One of the most mind boggling aspects of the N3511 is that it's considered a media notebook, yet it comes with Microsoft's XP Home Edition, not their Media Center Edition operating system. So with two strikes against it before even opening the box, the N3511 struggles with its own identity.
