Reviews for the Fujitsu Lifebook AH531

82% Review Fujitsu Lifebook AH531 Notebook | Notebookcheck
Basic bundle. Typewriter, calculator, gaming machine, movie entertainment system, portable companion and survival artist. The 15 incher has something of everything, yet isn't outstanding in any single point. But: does it have to at a price of 550 euros? With courage for incompleteness to a round offer.

Although this is a basic laptop version, it is generally very good in terms of value for money, especially since you get 15.6" laptop that is much stronger than the average netbook, which is marginally cheaper. The configuration of this Lifebook model is one of the weaker, with a 2GHz Intel Pentium processor. This is dual-core processor from the basic offer of Sandy Bridge Intel’s generation and is designed for entry-level laptops as this one is. It comes with integrated graphics from Intel HD 2000 series, which means you should not expect much in terms of 3D performance, but for the basic tasks, it will be quite an adequate solution. 2GB of DDR3 memory is installed, it has 320GB hard drive and DVD burner. In addition to standard LAN adapter, there are also Wi-Fi (802.11n is supported) and Bluetooth 2.1.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M: Based on the GeForce GT 425M with slightly higher core clock speeds.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


2310M:

Dual-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. The CPU is clocked at 2.1 GHz and features the Turbo Boost 2.0 only for the graphics card (650/1100MHz).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2.611 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Fujitsu: Fujitsu is a Japanese technology group listed on the Nikkei 225 with origins dating back to 1935. Its products and services focus on information technology, telecommunications, semiconductors, networks, computer and communications products and advanced microelectronics.

In 1999, the cooperation with Siemens in the IT sector (servers, notebooks, desktop PCs, etc.) started under the Fujitsu-Siemens brand. 10 years later, this cooperation ended.


82.75%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
