Fujitsu Life book S710 Note book Review

fujitsu life book s710 , landed in our offices for a few weeks back is a bit difficult to summarize. Its certainly not the finest-looking laptop and is also not light on the shoulders-yet its one the fastest notebooks we've ever tested. The meaningless light and dark grey tones make the life book s710 seems more like a target for conservative business types. And even though its incredibly fast, seems to be able to Fujitsu has done much more to it.
S710 is based on the Intel Core i7 M620 Cpu running at 2.67 GHz with 4 GB DDR3-1066 RAM and a 128 GB Intel SSD. A platform which is incredibly fast to build on. But this is Let down by use of Intel HD integrated graphics adapter and a very ordinary 14 inch LCD display with a resolution of 1366 × 768. What I am trying to say is that you don't need a Core i7 with a Intel SSD to create word documents, browsing the Web or read your e-mail. You need this quickly by a machine might be crunching numbers in excel or render 3D graphics-neither that feels like a fit for this laptop because of the lack of a higher screen resolution, or a discrete graphics controller. Other specifications on the laptop includes Intel 6200 802 .11n based Wi-Fi controller, Bluetooth, Gigabit networking, and built-in 3 G broadband services.
To the left of the device, you have the power connector, a covered VGA and Displayport output together with the two USB ports, an eSATA port and a PC card slot. «««Has a SD/Memory card slot, a mini FireWire port, audio input and output and a Wi-Fi switch. Move to the right, you can find a different USB port and the DVD author as interesting has a lock to eject it. My Guess is that you can equip to bay with a different hard disk, or an extra battery. Finally, sit Gigabit network port on the back.
LCD on Fujitsu Life book S710 is pretty average with decent horizontal view angles, but not best vertical. The keyboard is your old elastic type that works well, but makes little noise. There is a trackpad a pointing device stick to move the mouse. The trackpad is too small for my taste and the buttons below it make them difficult to achieve when using the pointing device stick, even for a person with large hands like mine. You can press the stick pointing device for a left click but will still need to stretch your thumb on the right.
Life book S710 is very fixed in CPU and total number of samples due to its fast SSD but fails in 3D-related test due to the lack of a discrete GPU on both Sony and Lenovo edge Z notebooks.
Battery life is decent at Life book S710 is considering the high specifications. We managed to get nearly four hours out of it. Replace the optical drive with the second battery, you should hopefully last for more than six hours. The portable computer is not very high, or warm during our test either.
With a street price AED 6250 (US $ 1,700), S710 is a bit higher side. Yes, it has some amazing specs, but at the same time a discrete GPU or a higher RES screen could have justified the costs.
