It’s still a great day to be out and about so after having some lunch and getting some things done at the house I had to head back out to the Starbucks I found this morning. OK, I’ll admit that it is largely an excuse to be out cruising with the top down in this perfect convertible weather. This time I decided to get a good comparison of working with the Fujitsu P1620 in the same conditions I experienced with the HP Mini-Note this morning so the Fuji is what I brought with me this time. I’ve been working for an hour and I can easily say that while I can touch type fine on the small Fuji keyboard it is nowhere near as comfortable nor as fast as the Mini’s keyboard. It is a tad narrower than the Mini keyboard and it is definitely harder to type with it as a result. I am using the V740 modem with the Verizon EVDO network and I do like that the Fuji PC Card slot is on the left of the unit which keeps the modem out of my way while mousing. The Fuji is a great performer with its Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of memory but for typical web work and writing it provides largely the same experience as the work session earlier with the Mini. This point is significant when you remember that the Mini is 1/3 the price of this Fuji.
