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.

Lenovo ThinkPad X120e Review
It is good to see AMD, that's fusion technology final delivery. CPU and GPU convergence has threatened for some time now, and there have already been a couple of CPU/GPU hybrids available model likes of Intel, the idea of having a second low-power, economic to produce cutting edge CPU/GPU combo box on a mobile platform is particularly exciting.
In the course of the last 2-3 years, we have critiqued the majority of the large ultraportables and netbooks to hit the market. Most of them relied on Intel's Atom, which has always been somewhat underpowered in most of its editions. The two areaa, Intel trump AMD in front of the netbook was, however, battery life and heat. AMD netbook platform, the Neo prior, was perhaps more powerful than anything that an Atom (and an integrated GPU) could muster, but it did more power for that to happen.Fusion bager CPU and GPU in a single piece of silicon, and while we have already gone through E-350 APUS by its lonesome, we have been waiting patiently for a system to integrate chip maker in a retail-ready notebook. Lenovo has become one of the first to do so, offers two major builds of ThinkPad X120e: a $ 399 building with E-240 APU and a $ 579 building with E-350 APUS, 4 GB RAM and a large 320 GB (7200RPM) hard drive. Both use a 11.6 5? screen and comes with Windows 7.
Specifications and features
* AMD E-350 Zacate @ 1.6 GHz, dual core Fusion
* 4 GB DDR3 RAM
* 11.6.5? LCD (1366 × 768); LED backlit, mat
* AMD Radeon HD 6310M graphics
* 320 GB (7200RPM) Hitachi Travel star 7 K 500 hard disk
* the 802 .11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
* No optical drive
* 1.3 megapixel webcam
* VGA output
* USB 2.0 x 3
* Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
* RJ-45 (Ethernet 10/100/1000)
* Headphone/Mic Input Jacks
* SD/MMC/SDHC multimedia card reader
* VGA and HDMI Output
* Stereo Speakers
* 3.3 Pounds (with 6-cell battery installed)
* Removable 6 cell Li-ion battery
* 11.22? x 8.26? x 0,61-1.16? (dimensions)
* Windows 7 Home Professional (64-bit)
* Price (as tested): $ 579.99
* Price (beginning): $ 399.99
* 1-year warranty
If there is one thing a netbook (or ultraportable) needs to be really competitive, is the great battery life. Regardless of how large the software or hardware, an ultra-portable machine must great battery life to be truly useful in the field. X120e is a device which we are aware, in particular, close to the battery life. Remember, Fusion APUS was supposed to be more powerful than the Neo, while also improving on energy the brain drain.
The X100e which we peer last year succeeded in only about 2.1 hours life, while X120e (both of which use a 6-cell battery) is administered around 3.5 hours in the same test. We have seen reports that this machine will last even longer, if you turn off Wi-Fi and go easy on screen brightness, and we believe it Either way., more than 3 hours in constant use is pretty impressive, and it is a very real upgrade of X100e's battery life.
