Fujitsu Brings M2010 Netbook to U.S. Market

Fujitsu has launched its M2010 netbook into the North American market, hoping the small form factor (with a 10-inch screen) and sturdier-than-an-average-netbook design will appeal to educators and other buyers who tend to treat netbooks to a few bumps along the way.

The M2010 sports an Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6 GHz, a 10.1-inch display, 100Base-T Ethernet, an integrated 1.3 megapixel Webcam, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth wireless networking, VGA output, and three USB ports. The stock configuration of the M2010 ships with Windows XP Home, a 160 GB hard drive, and 1 GB of RAM. The unit weighs about 2.5 pounds, and is a somewhat surprising 1.3 inches deep—relatively bulky by netbook standards, but we assume that’s to lend a little structural integrity to a netbook’s hardscrabble life.

The Fujitsu M2010 is available now, with suggested prices starting at $449.

The U.S. government has placed trade restrictions on Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., China's largest chipmaker, on allegations of connections to the Asian country's military.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration was reportedly looking into adding SMIC to the Commerce Department's entity list, where it would join fellow Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE, with the Defense Department working with other agencies over the matter. Sources claimed that the government was scrutinizing ties between SMIC and the Chinese military, with the chipmaker denying the alleged connections.

The U.S. wastes $161B worth of food every year. A.I. is helping us fix that

“[When you see pictures of food waste] it just blows you away,” said Stefan Kalb, a former food wholesaler. “I mean, shopping cart after shopping cart of food waste. What happens with the merchandisers when they walk through the store, and they’re pulling products that have expired, is that they’ll put it in a shopping cart and just roll it to the back. It's almost one of those dystopian [movie] pictures … cartons of milk just piled up in a grocery cart. The ones that didn’t make it.”

If you’re an everyday consumer, the chances are that you don’t know exactly what Kalb is talking about. When you or I go to the grocery store, we do not have to walk past enormous piles of wasted food to reach the store. There aren’t huge bins at the end of every aisle filled with expired pots of hummus or salad that’s started to wilt. That would be a total downer. Based on what we see, supermarket shelves filled with a greater number of food products than ever, it’s easy to think that there isn’t a problem at all. Except that there very much is.
