Overview: Fujitsu ESPRIMO Mobile U9215

Another laptop computer integrating the famous Authentec Fingerprint Sensor technology is ESPRIMO Mobile from Fujitsu Siemens Computers, more exactly 2 new models called ESPRIMO Mobile U9215 and ESPRIMO Mobile D9515 from the same series.


“As a leading international IT corporation, Fujitsu Siemens wanted to create a highly mobile lineup tailored for today’s business requirements, with a rich feature set and unrestricted connectivity. We believe we achieved this goal with the new ESPRIMO Mobile and CELSIUS business notebooks, and that users will appreciate the convenient security offered with the addition of AuthenTec’s new AES2550 fingerprint sensor,” said Andreas Thimmel, Senior Vice President, Volume Business at Fujitsu Siemens Computers.


The AuthenTec AES2550 Sensor allows fingerprint-based access to the laptop only to authorized users, and in addition to it, the new business laptops feature also the latest Intel processing technology –Intel Centrino 2 – for high performance on the go.


There is also a third laptop model series with the AuthenTec’s sensor, models CELSIUS H260 and H275, providing low power consumption for increased battery life, important characteristics of mobile workstations.


On the other side, the ESPRIMO Mobile business laptops are great desktop replacement solutions, coming in an ultra-portable version with a 12.1-inch display and 15.4-inch standard form factor.


ESPRIMO Mobile U series comes with ConfCam web camera, mobile broadband access, Bluetooth, spill resistant keyboard, and configurable hardware components, while the ESPRIMO Mobile D series sports a larger display and the same reliability.




“Our AES2550 sensor is proving to be a popular new addition to our PC product portfolio, as evidenced by its integration into a growing number of Centrino 2 notebooks such as the new ESPRIMO Mobile Series by Fujitsu Siemens Computers,” said Tom Aebli, AuthenTec Vice President of PC Products. “Europe is an important growth region for AuthenTec, and we are pleased to further expand our relationship with Fujitsu Siemens Computers through this collaboration. We believe today’s mobile business user will quickly appreciate the added security and convenience that our AES2550 bring to these new high-performance ESPRIMO and CELSIUS mobile notebooks.”

Review: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727

When all you have money for is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727, is it that such a bad thing? This ingress level, 15.4-inch widescreen notebook costs less than a hitman priced at a mere £275 and it could be the explanation to all their back-to-school requirements.


Design

The word 'Acme' coils to mind when appearing at the Amilo Li 2727. Its broad looking matte silver lid with divergent black interior barely pushes the intend envelope. It's not unattractive by any means, it just seems like it cost just £275, and that's not a excellent thing. The Li 2727 is a reasonably huge brute. It measures 355 by 256 by 24mm and ponders a quite heavily built 2.7kg, so it's not the sort of thing you'll desire to heave to and from school or university if you're living at home with your parents.


Performance

The given price tag isn't a grand deal of money to shell out on a notebook and it shows. There's no fancy Core 2 Duo CPU here, just a simple Celeron M CPU sprinting at 1.73GHz, and 1GB of RAM. That's a bit pants actually, but it's sufficient to guzzle through most customary desktop assignments, so if the kids criticizes, threaten to take away their belief fund.
3D gaming isn't the Li 2727's carrier. The Intel GMA 950 graphics accelerator adaptor is best matched to running things like Solitaire, but it'll turn its hand to the odd bit of video playback, too. Be warned, though: your kids won't be blowing up many virtual bad guys with this system -- they're going to have to get their kicks another way.

Like Equatorial Guinea's Olympic lineup, the Amilo Li 2727 tries solid but won't win any medals for recital. It scored a measly 1,403 in PC Mark 2005, and 1,310 in 3DMark 2006, so it isn't much quicker than an EEE PC 901. It'll let you waves the Web, pay attention to music and watch videos of up to 720p declaration with relative effortlessness, but it in actuality does establish to stumble if you try to multitask.

Battery sprint life is low to standard, depending on what variety of submission you're sprinting. In our CPU concentrated Battery Eater run down investigation, it generated 1 hour 28 minutes, and 1 hour 58 minutes in the far less concentrated reader investigation. That's not bad considering the size of the notebook.


Overall

It's contemptible and jovial. If you're subsequent to a low-cost 2nd notebook or something for the kids, then you could do a lot shoddier than the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727. If you're somber about computing, though, you be supposed to seem elsewhere and practice to shell out more. The Medion Akoya S5610, for instance, offers much enhanced multitasking and graphical presentation for £600.


Pros

+ Stumpy price;
+ 4 USB ports


Cons

- Comparatively poor performance

Review: Fujitsu LifeBook N6470

Full specs for the specific N6470 configuration used for this review are as follows:

• Screen: 17-inch WXGA+ (1440x900)
• Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 (800 MHz FSB, 3MB L2 cache)

• Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
• Dimensions: 15.8 x 11.5 x 2.0 inches (WxDxH)
• Weight: 10.2 pounds
• MSRP: $1,799 as configured

Conclusion

While overall performance numbers on the LifeBook more than held their own, this notebook is largely a case of a good specs sheet being let down by a lackluster user experience. With battery life that's little short of awful, an unpleasant keyboard, lots of flex and a generally unappealing look and feel, the N6470 seems to offset its strong characteristics (beautiful screen, quick processor and plenty of RAM, multimedia capabilities) with some noteworthy irritations and disappointments. If the N6470 cost $500 less, it would be much easier to overlook many of these warts, but at its current price there are simply too many good options out there.

Pros:

• Penryn performance and plenty of memory
• Superb screen with amazing colors
• Good multimedia capabilities
• Serious styling may appeal to those wanting something less "gamer"-ish

Cons:

• Frightening flex calls build quality into question
• Keyboard a pain for long-term typing
• Abysmal battery life
• A bit boring for our taste

It is certainly nothing revolutionary about the design, but yet look trendy. In addition, the in-build quality is good along with solid lid section that takes care of notebook when moving. You may not be happy carrying all the while as it weights 2.6kg and certain to spend most time on desk. The only reason Fujitsu thought about heavy and large notebook is because to support big screen that is 15.4 inches. Its native resolution is 1,680 X 1,050 pixels, which is pretty decent when working on two documents at the same time. Keypad and Touchpad is much fancier and its eco mode also permits a range of tools and functions to be turned off just to save power.

Performance

LifeBook E8410 is incorporated with Intel’s Core 2 Duo T7300 processor working at 2GHz. You will find the RAM space of 1GB, though it is capable to accommodate 4GB. Windows Vista Business is the operating system and latest NVIDIA GeForce 8400M supports graphics together with 128MB of devoted video memory. The LifeBook E8410 is nicely equipped for any communications. Infrared along with Wi-Fi are as well in-built. You will find a hardware button in the front of the casing, which permits you to turn Wi-Fi on and off easily.

Conclusion

The LifeBook E8410 Notebook offers a positive user sense. Its screen is amazing in terms of both image and resolution quality, and in turn makes it a great desktop replacement system.

REVIEW: Fujitsu U810

Specs:

Display: 5.6" WSVGA 1024 x 600 "Crystal View" touch screen with passive digitizer. Intel 945GM integrated graphics with 128 megs shared memory (224 megs under Vista). Comes with dongle adapter with VGA connector for external monitors and projectors. Max external resolution not specified, we successfully tested it with a 19" 1600 x 1200 monitor.

Battery: 4 cell 5200 mAh 7.2v Lithium Ion rechargeable. 37.4 watts/hour, claimed runtime: up to 5.5 hours.

Performance: Intel A110 800MHz processor with 512k level 2 cache and 400MHz FSB. 1 gig DDR2 400MHz RAM (non-upgradable). Intel 945U chipset. 1.8" 40 gig hard drive (4200 rpm) with PATA interface.

Size: 6.73” (W) x 6” (D) x 1.04-1.26” (H). weight: 1.56 pounds.

Camera: Webcam located above the display (works fine with Skype).

Networking: Atheros Super AG WiFi 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth 2.0. Realtek 8101L 10/100 Ethernet (requires included dongle adapter).

Software: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition or Windows Vista Business + DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005. MS Works 8.5 is bundled on a CD (not pre-installed) with Home Premium model. OneNote 2007 included with Vista Business model.

Ports and Expansion: 1 SD slot and 1 Compact Flash card slot. 1 USB 2.0 port, 3.5mm stereo out and mic in, port for docking station/dongle adapter which has VGA and Ethernet ports.

Security: Integrated Fingerprint Sensor and embedded TPM. Boot Sector Write Prevention and BIOS passwording. AuthenTec fingerprint scanner and OmniPass software for Windows.

Pro: Great form factor, the mini-notebook is much more usable and carry-able than slate designed UMPCs. Acceptible performance under Vista and good performance under Windows XP. The wide-screen display means dialogs won't be cut off and you can watch a YouTube video with no top/bottom truncation. Very good battery life. Price is right and the size and weight are perfectly portable. WiFi performance is excellent.

Con: This isn't a true notebook replacement. The high resolution display is harder on the eyes than a conventional notebook and the keyboard is barely touch-typable (and large-fingered folk will resort to 2 finger pecking). OmniPass fingerprint scanner software for Vista slows down machine and has few features compared to Protector Suite QL used on Sony's notebooks. The Windows XP version (included with the XP restore CD on the Vista Business model) doesn't slow down the machine as much and has more features.

In the Box Fujitsu includes the tablet computer, an EMR pen, screen cleaning cloth, complete software and driver restore CDs, a printing guide.

Pro: Relatively lightweight-- good for holding like a virtual pad of paper. Good performance by slate tablet and ultralight notebook standards with good battery life. Extended battery is great for vertical market users who must get a full work day on a charge. Compact charger doesn't add much bulk or weight to the equation. Display is viewable outdoors. Hard drive shock sensor keeps data safe and both the Smart Card slot and biometric security keep data out of the wrong hands.

Con: Expensive, as are most slate Tablet PCs. Though by no means unbearably dim, the display isn't the brightest we've seen.
