Here's some good news for the businessman looking for some quality portable hardware that's easy on the budget - Fujitsu-Siemens has just unveiled its ESPRIMO Mobile line of laptops. We give you the skinny on what's to expect with the sturdy-looking portable that's got everyone talking.

Well, what's under the hood? A hefty Core 2 Duo system to keep things fast and reliable, Intel's GMA X3100 integrated graphics card for much-needed graphical muscle, as well as the usual connectivity essentials- UMTS, Bluetooth, WLAN. Not shabby at all, and the packaging's pretty neat, too, coming in with three wide-screen flavors (12.1-inch, 14.5-inch, and 15.4-inch).

And for those of us who hate searching for electric sockets to plug our cumbersome wires into, the ESPRIMO line laptops can take a second battery, jacking up the group's happy time to a whopping 10 hours. Plenty enough juice to last you a whole day's worth of work.

No word yet on a definite release date or pricing, however, but we'll keep you updated on all things ESPRIMO, so keep it locked right here.
