Fujitsu’s LifeBook N7010 Takes a Go at Liquid Cooling
We know the advantages of liquid cooling; it can extract more heat from cooled parts, which makes it ideal for handling issues like overclocking and it is less influenced by the ambient temperature. Liquid cooling is not limited to one component, so it can cool the CPU, GPU and other components simultaneously while creating relatively no noise.

The appeal of liquid cooling has some OEMs working diligently to create a water cooling system that can fit into today’s average height profile, .7-1.5 inches. It seems the closest that anyone has come thus far is the Fujitsu LifeBook N7010. The laptop, which was reviewed by Engadget on Dec.15, didn’t exactly receive extensive praise. According to Thomas Ricker of Engadget, the laptop is full of compromises including its size, nearly 2 inches thick and 7 and half pounds in weight. The computer has only one hour of promised battery life. On the flip side it is packed with features like a digital television turner, 1.3 megapixel webcam, fingerprint scanning security, 4GB of memory, a 4-inch LCD touch screen along with other bells and whistles. Don’t expect to get your hands on a LifeBook N7010 if you live in the US, Fujitsu is only distributing this liquid cooled laptop within Japan.
Strides are being made to create a viable liquid laptop solution, but there is still no liquid pump on the market that can fit into an average laptop profile. The quest continues.
