Expert review by : Cisco Cheng (pcmag.com)

Fujitsu LifeBook S6520

 

The Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 is a rare system that weighs less than 4 pounds and houses a 14-inch widescreen.

14-inch widescreen on a 4-pound laptop. Good performance scores. Full-size keyboard. Standard-voltage processor. Built-in optical drive that doubles as modular bay for an extra battery.

Lacks 3G options. Lid is prone to smudges and scratches. Higher resolution would be nice.

Fujitsu Lifebook S6520

 

The Fujitsu Lifebook S6520 is a decent refresh with Centrino 2 parts, but there are cheaper alternatives if portability is of utmost importance.

Excellent performance, Decent battery life, Plenty of screen for the size, Light

Expensive, Only PCMCIA not ExpressCard, Old-hat design

Fujitsu LifeBook S6520

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Light, easy to use, long battery life, excellent screen

Expensive, lacks the latest expansion options

For the modern user on the move the Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 offers surprisingly good processing power and a brilliant battery life in a lightweight package that is easy to use. The only downside is the high price, for which we’d normally expect a better...

1. 14" screen is in 13" size

1. Huge adater that is made in Chaina

Fujitsu LifeBook S6520(FPCM43721) Intel Core 2 Duo P8400(2.26GHz) 14.1" Wide XGA 1GB Memory 80GB HDD Dual layer DVD Burner Intel GMA 4500MHD NoteBook

 

The only reason i bought this from fujitsu directly is because of free additional 2 years international warraty, and free wireless keyboard and mouse and the fingerprint (regret it), and free 3 days shipping.

Very light weight, easy to carry around. Battery life is suprisingly as advertise, sometimes even more. I used high performance and was updating windows and downloading software and lasted for 3 hours and 20 mins. I used power saver and turned off...

Fujitsu support fast, but unrealiable. I supposed to get a call back never did get one. I bought mine with fingerprint, software that come with it is very hard to use. Soo many junks installed in this laptop. Comes with Norton Internet security 60...
