80% Fujitsu LifeBook P1510D
Source: Mobile Tech Review English Archive.org version
Certainly one of the coolest, sexiest yet functional super-small notebooks available in the US. The specs and power make this machine good enough for business and school use while Windows XP Tablet Edition puts the touch screen to good use with better support for pen and voice input compared to non-Tablet Edition OS P1500 models. The screen's resolution is high enough to make web browsing and working with MS Office documents pleasant though the 8.9" LCD may cause some eyestrain when run at full resolution. If you need and want one of the lightest notebooks on the market, don't want to compromise on specs and find the Tablet features useful, the P1510D should be on your shortlist despite a few shortcomings (lack of an optical drive, poor viewing angle and not the most colorful and sharp display).

Lifebook P1510
Source: Gadgetspeak English Archive.org version
This Fujitsu Siemens unit is truly two items in one case, it is a rather nice small but powerful notebook computer and also probably the best Tablet PC I have used. It is 23x17x3.5cm and weights in at only slightly more than a kilo. I was sent it with a DVD RW super multidrive that is likely to add around £190 to the price however as this connects via USB any CD or DVD that connects this way will work and with large format pen stick drives around any software you want to install could firstly be copied to a pen stick drive using a CD from any PC. This is not a cheap product but bear in mind it is truly two products in one.

Fujitsu Lifebook P1510D Tablet PC
Source: Tablet PC2 English Archive.org version
The Fujitsu P1510D is a Convertible style Tablet PC, that boots in just under 50 seconds with 512 ram installed. We got 2 hours and 16 minutes battery life with the Tablet running in always on mode, the wireless on, no standby, no hibernate and the screen and hard drive set to always on. Needless to say we would like to see a longer battery life, but in all fairness to Fujitsu as end users we want it all. Small size, light weight, big performance, long battery life, low price. Unfortunately at this point in time the technology to give us the lightweight long life battery's at a low price just isn't there.

80% A smart, well-designed and impressive tablet
Source: vnunet.com English Archive.org version
Fujitsu Siemens claim the Lifebook P1510 is the world’s lightest convertible tablet, and there’s plenty of technology packed into the 1kg chassis. It looks like a conventional notebook, but the screen measures 8.9in, so everything is scaled down in size. The screen, which is bright and clear, has a resolution of 1,024 x 600 and gives an unusual aspect ratio of 17:10. This makes it feel narrow when you’re using the tablet in portrait mode. Five buttons sit at the bottom right and assist general navigation.

Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
We admit falling in love with the first Fujitsu P1510D when we tried it last summer, and this update only deepens our admiration for its blend of portability and usability. Now with a bit more internal memory (512MB) a lower price ($1,599), and the Tablet PC version of Windows XP built-in, the most portable micro-PC gets a smidgeon better. Excellent performance for the size, enterprise-grade Wi-Fi support, and an exceptionally well-designed compact keyboard layout make this our favorite ultra-ultra-light. Unfortunately, some earlier flaws remain unchanged. Power up this 2.2-pound metallic gray clamshell and you're greeted with performance. The 1.2-GHz Pentium M and 4,200-rpm 30GB hard drive work quite well together to deliver snappy performance for program loading, processing, and window repositioning.

75% Stylish LifeBook offers impressive layout, two-battery option
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
If you liked the LifeBook P7000, Fujitsu's stylish 3-pound laptop, you'll likely be equally enamored of the new and improved LifeBook P7120. This highly desirable and cleverly designed little black and charcoal machine has a handy two-battery option and a good keyboard. It isn't any cheaper at $2149 (as of 2/16/06), but consider its improvements over its predecessor: The 60GB hard drive, sealed before, is now user-replaceable so you don't have to leave your notebook at the repair shop.

Source: CNet English Archive.org version
The ultraportable Fujitsu LifeBook P7120, an updated version of the Fujitsu LifeBook P7010D, is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor but remains packed with features, including a built-in DVD burner. Best of all, the LifeBook P7120 provides those features without compromising performance or battery life, and does it for the same price as the LifeBook P7010D. Its slightly more expensive competitor, the Sony VAIO TX670P, offers wireless WAN, longer battery life, and a larger screen in an even lighter case. If you want cellular connectivity or a battery that lasts more than six hours, the VAIO TX670P is worth the extra cost; otherwise, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7120 offers a slightly more affordable balance of performance, features, and portability for business travelers.

70% A secure long-distance runner that won’t weigh you down
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
For those who spend more time on the road than in their offices, there’s the Fujitsu LifeBook P7120. This 3.2-pound ultraportable, decked out in a satin black finish (with a metallic gray base), weighs a little over three pounds yet packs in all of the features a road warrior could want. With a TPM chip and fingerprint sensor built in, it’s a good business-minded alternative to Sony’s 2.8-pound VGN-TX650P that costs $50 less. In order to offer such a compact design, the P7120 features a small, 10.6-inch widescreen display. It’s fine for taking notes in Word and watching DVDs up close using the built-in optical drive, but its glossy coating has a tendency to reflect ambient light, which can be particularly annoying when working with an application like Word.

80% Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P7120
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
Performance wise the Lifebook P7120 is no scorcher, but it compares well to similar machines. However, the Sony Vaio TX1XP offered about the same performance and had longer battery life, but at a higher price. Still, with seven minutes short of five hours battery life in MobileMark 2005 it’s hard to complain and the DVD playback test was two minutes short of four hours. This doesn’t mean that the Lifebook P7120 is a bad notebook by any means as there are few that can touch it in terms of battery life in its class. The Lifebook P7120 is yet another excellent ultra portable machine from Fujitsu-Siemens which offers a wide range of features, good battery life and considering its size a very attractive price.

90% Fujitsu LifeBook P7120
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
To call the Fujitsu LifeBook P7120 just a plain old ultraportable notebook is a serious injustice. The P7120 takes into account everything a mobile user needs, whether they're flying business class or commuting by train into the office. Some of the rare finds in this ultraportable include a dual-layer DVD±R optical drive and a fingerprint reader—and that's just the beginning. The P7120 barely tips the scales; at 3.1 pounds, it's even lighter than its predecessor, the 3.3-pound P7010D. At 10.1" by 7.8" by 1.1", the notebook is small enough to slip into an oversized coat pocket. The unit is draped in magnesium alloy and comes in all black for now, but Fujitsu will introduce several other colors (red, green, and white, for example) this month.

Fujitsu P7120 (P7120D) Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
I was really concerned that the slower speed hard drive was going to kill the performance of this machine. I'm so happy to report that I don't find it to be an issue and the resulting benefits of smaller size and reduced heat are worth it. The unit is in fact fanless, which means you'll only hear everyone else's machines. The fan on the P7010 frequently ran, so to me, this is a huge deal. There are very few fanless notebooks on the market, but Fujitsu has done a fantastic job engineering this one.

75% Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook P1610
Source: Bios Magazine English Archive.org version
Computers powered by the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, and equipped with a sensitive screen designed to interact with a complementary pen, are called Tablet PCs. Tablet PCs are fully-functional laptop PCs, but with the added benefit of being able to use a stylus/pen directly on the screen just as you would a mouse to do things like select, drag, and open files; or in place of a keyboard to handwrite notes and communication. Unlike a touch screen, the Tablet PC screen only receives information from this special pen. It will not take information from your finger or your shirt sleeve - so you can rest your wrist on the screen and write naturally. Your business doesn’t live in an office - it goes wherever you go. And with the LifeBook P1610 you have simple ways to connect, communicate, network, and get it done - whether you’re in the office or on the road.

While the P1610 isn't going to win any performance awards, it's up to the job of everyday tasks. What it lacks in power it easily compensates for in portability. The keyboard is a little on the small side, but other than that it's a very usable machine. The tiny size comes at a premium, but when judged against other similar systems it's reasonably priced. It's a machine you really could take with you everywhere and still be able to get something done once you arrive.

Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Tablet PC has never really caught the imagination of the average computer user. It’s great for business, where the interactive screen can be shared by a couple of people for writing notes. The Fujitsu Siemens P1610 is great to use and its light weight means you aren’t tied down to carrying a brick around with you. However, its battery life really lets the useability side down. It may be great to use in meetings but we’d recommend using at a secondary machine and not as your sole notebook.

Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 is a well-designed, extremely compact, and flexible notebook. Anyone who roams around a lot during the workday and needs continual access to a computer is an ideal candidate--particularly if price isn't a big concern. If you frequently spend some of your work day outside (for legitimate reasons--or not), you'd probably find this little computer invaluable, too. Otherwise, a full-featured ultraportable, such as Fujitsu's LifeBook P7120 or Sony's Vaio TX series, is probably a better bet.

This attractive ultraportable model packs a lot of functionality--including a swiveling touch screen--into a tight space. Pick up the svelte Fujitsu LifeBook P1610, and you'll barely feel as if you're carrying a notebook PC. And no wonder: At 2.2 pounds, the $2419 (as of 12/18/06) P1610 puts the "ultra" in ultraportable. The P1610 is similar in weight and size to its predecessor, the LifeBook P1510. (It's slightly slimmer at 1.4 inches deep, and it measures 9.1 by 6.6 inches.) Included, however, are several notable improvements, among them a reasonably roomy 80GB hard drive, and a PC Card slot in lieu of the P1510's integrated CompactFlash slot.

The Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 combines the best features of ultramobile PCs (tiny size, easy-to-use touch screen) and convertible tablets (an attached keyboard, laptop-caliber performance). As with most hybrid technologies, however, the LifeBook P1610 forces you to make some compromises: its tiny keyboard makes extensive typing a challenge, and--though we'd like to carry the P1610 with us all day long--its battery life isn't enough to last through a full day of work.

75% Fujitsu LifeBook P7230
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The LifeBook P7230 is a remarkable feat of laptop engineering: extremely light despite including an optical drive, and equipped with a nice little screen and a good keyboard. It's slow, but if e-mail, light work, and online researching on the go are all you need--along with the convenience of a built-in DVD burner--look no further. The P7230 comes as close to perfect as any laptop under 3 pounds you can find.

Overall, while we're eager to see a WWAN configuration, we think the P7230 is a worthy contender in the bantamweight laptop class. Its price is too high for impulse buying, but below that of its showy, slightly-larger-screened competitor the Sony Vaio TX, and its choice of a swappable DVD burner or second battery will seal the deal for some travelers.

Fujitsu has consistently pushed the envelope with its ultraportables and preached the importance of integrating optical drives into these tiny units. The Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 is one of only three sub-3-pound ultraportables to integrate an optical drive, and the only one whose drive is modular. Clad in white. Only 2.9 pounds. Integrated optical drive. You can swap in an extra battery in place of the optical drive. Impractical keyboard. Meager performance. Slow hard drive.

Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
I’ve really enjoyed using the P7230 for its real purpose – being a great notebook to throw in your bag when on the go and easily use in tight spaces. I used it while at an exposition in Germany called CeBIT and it was easy to pull the P7230 out and hold it with one hand while typing with the other to quickly check email or the web. Try doing that with anything bigger than a 14” screen notebook. You don’t sacrifice much with the small size either, you still get an optical drive and a good selection of ports. Sure the keyboard is smaller and the screen won’t fit as much as a larger one, but anyone buying the P7230 realizes that.

The Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 has an attractive design; it's lightweight; an Eco button lets you easily drop into low-power mode to extend battery life; includes optical drive. The bad: Single-core processor means performance is limited; very small mouse buttons are annoying; 10.6-inch screen is smaller than that of most other ultraportables. The bottom line: A sleek-looking ultraportable, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 will turn heads with its polished design, but its middling performance make it suited best for basic office tasks.

With the exception of Sony, no company has mastered the art of ultraportable laptop design like Fujitsu. The compact LifeBook P7230 is one of the most lightweight systems on the market, and it's one of the sexiest, with your choice of two colors: black or white (an extra $50). One of the lightest notebooks on the market with an integrated optical drive, the LifeBook P7230 delivers extreme portability for a very reasonable price. We'd prefer a little more performance and the option of mobile broadband, but otherwise this mini notebook satisfies.

However, the light weight results in an insubstantial specification. The processor is one of the weakest on test: an Intel Core 2 Duo SL7100 that runs at a mere 1.2GHz. While this does result in impressively low power demands (a 17W TDP to be precise), it also limits speed. All this means that, despite excellent battery life, we’re not convinced by the P8010. If you’re after a truly luxurious business laptop, choose the pricier but also far superior Lenovo X300.

Featherweight Powerhouse Ultraportables : Consider the Ultraportable

The Fujitsu was somewhat limited in our performance tests by its relatively slow 1.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SL7100 CPU. However, the P8010 wasn’t held back by its hard drive, which is a 5,400 RPM SATA model, and the equal of the drives in the best performers in this ultraportable notebook roundup.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 Notebook
Source: Geek.com English Archive.org version
Overall, Fujitsu has an interesting offering in their P8010 ultraportable, though it was (and still isn’t) the clear pick in its category. If you absolutely need an optical drive and you want a 12-inch system it could be a good choice, but there is enough competition out there that for most people it won’t be the way to go, even before you factor in the availability of newer systems. There is a lot to like about the P8010, but it is missing a few obvious features and the build quality could be improved, so given the price (currently about $1600-2000) buyers should give a good look at the competition first. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing what Fujitsu brings to market with the next model.

It's difficult to recommend the LifeBook P8010. It ticks most of the boxes required to make a good ultraportable, but it's simply too expensive in comparison to things like the MacBook Air. Business users might find some of its features useful, but for the rest of us, something like the Eee PC 1000 will do just fine.

The ultra-portable business laptop market has undergone a huge shake-up in recent months, with a triple-release of outstanding new products: the Lenovo X300, MacBook Air and updated version of Sony's TZ series with the TZ31MN. All three of these laptop brought decent performance, impressively thin chassis and low weight, and all will attract jealous stares in the boardroom. Competing with Sony, Lenovo and Apple is no easy task, as this overpriced and unremarkable ultraportable proves.

The LifeBook P8010 is a worthy upgrade to last year's ultraportable LifeBook, the P7230. Most importantly, it replaces the single-core processor with a low-voltage Core 2 Duo chip. Its dimensions swell slightly to accommodate a bigger 12-inch screen, but it still weighs in at a hair under 3 pounds. Call it the unassuming ultraportable. The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 shuns attention-grabbing thinness and solid-state drives for a solid feature set for business travelers.

The Fujitsu P8010 is a great performer when it comes to battery life, system performance, and cool temperatures. When you look at the build quality and design, it's a completely different picture, that doesn't stack up against older Fujitsu business notebooks. Body and chassis flex is greater than we would expect from a notebook in this price range. If you can look past the build quality, it is an excellent notebook in terms of its capabilities.

Packing an optical drive and terrific battery life into a 2.8-pound frame isn't easy, but this formula has been the cornerstone of the Fujitsu LifeBook P Series for several years. The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 is part of a select group of laptops that integrate an optical drive and weigh less than 3 pounds. But Fujitsu needs to up its game by putting in a larger keyboard and faster components.

The Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 makes a few notable improvements on its predecessor, but a new breed of cheaper mini-laptops are on the horizon, making this ideal only for heavy tablet users, who may prefer a full-size tablet.

The Fujitsu LifeBook P1620 packs more than enough functionality and usability to justify paying more than two grand. Consumers interested in a tiny tablet on a budget should probably gravitate toward the $999 LifeBook U810—provided you’re willing to use a smaller 5.6-inch display—but we highly recommend this more versatile and secure convertible for road warriors and field workers.

Although the Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 and Macbook Air aren’t marketed as direct competitors with each other, their light weight and convenient sizes certainly encourage comparison. In the final analysis, the Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 is, to our eyes, a more useful and utilitarian notebook than Apple’s Macbook Air. While the Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 is too thick to fit in a manila envelope, it’s lighter, smaller, arguably easier to pack and stow than the Macbook Air and offers a lot more ports and connectivity options. The Macbook Air, on the other hand, appears to be more aesthetically pleasing than the Lifebook, has a larger display and is available with a faster processor. But its lack of hardware adaptability, connectivity options and the ability to change the battery limits its usefulness in comparison to the Fujitsu Lifebook P1620.

70% Fujitsu P8020
Source: Maximum PC English Archive.org version
Fujitsu has been a pioneer in the notebook category, dating back to its P2000, one of the first ultraportables to feature an optical drive. In this roundup, however, the standard Fujitsu set is better implemented by its competitors. In the end, the P8020 suffers most from the caliber of the competition. Taken as a whole, the P8020 is a competent machine, with a wealth of features packed into its wee formfactor. But with other ultraportables costing the same or less while offering superior qualities and/or features, the P8020 can’t help but seem average by comparison.

  It's a 12.1in model that weighs 1.4kg, yet the Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 packs a DVD burner, an Intel Core 2 DUO CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. Most importantly, it ships with a 3G (UMTS) module that will work with mobile broadband plans from any carrier. All up, the Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 (3.5G) is a good looking, lightweight and feature-rich laptop that is best suited to users who work frequently while travelling. At £1,499, it's slightly better value than the Toshiba Portege R600, but we think the Fujitsu would be improved by a solid state drive and wider keys.

Fujitsu Siemens - LifeBook P8020 review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
The P8020 from Fujitsu Siemens is a lovely looking ultraportable notebook with a lot of plus points. But it is expensive and so may be out of the price range of many of us. As ultraportables go this is a neat offering. The built-in optical drive is a boon and the build is solid. It is expensive, though, and as always with ultraportables, some people may find it a little cramped.

65% Fujitsu LifeBook P8020

At over £1700, there's no getting away from the fact that the LifeBook P8020 is pretty darned expensive. With a 12.1in screen, netbook-beating processor, robust chassis and other extras such as built-in 3G, the P8020 does go some way to justifying it's price tag. However, the keyboard simply feels too cramped. At roughly the same price, Sony's Vaio TT has a far more finger-friendly keyboard and a better battery life, albeit with an 11.1in screen. Yet its relatively light weight and larger display will appeal to some to get a LifeBook.

80% Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P8020 review
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Fujitsu Siemens' LifeBook P series is a range of ultra-portable laptops equipped with mobile broadband and a webcam. It includes the P7230 and P1610 -- the latter a convertible tablet PC. The newest P-series model is the P8020, a well-featured 12.1-inch ultra-portable that costs around £1,700. Fujitsu Siemens' LifeBook P8020 is an impressive ultra-portable in terms of looks and usability. It's robustly built -- except for some flex in the lid section -- with an excellent screen and a good keyboard. Mobile-broadband support is a plus, as is the good battery life. The only downsides are the moderate graphics performance and the £1,700 price tag.

Ultraportables have had a tough time of it in recent months, with a veritable herd of cheap netbooks trampling all over their previously pristine territory. And when you can buy a 10in or 12in laptop that's perfectly usable for writing email and browsing the internet and has a 3G modem built in for under £500, why spend any more? Fantastic battery life and a transflective screen aren't enough to justify a price tag this high.

Before netbooks became all the rage, an ultraportable was the only choice if you wanted a compact, lightweight laptop companion. With the Fujitsu LifeBook P8020, we’re happy to see companies still advancing the latter category. The business-oriented P8020 squeezes a built-in optical drive, a full contingent of ports, and decent (for the class) performance into a 2.9-pound machine. Sure, at $2,499 with the solid-state drive (SSD) in our model (a $450 option) it costs a lot more than a netbook. But unlike a netbook, when matched with a port replicator and an external screen and monitor, the P8020 can serve as your primary work PC. The Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 proves you can get an optical drive and all manner of ports in a 3-pound system.

Source: Comp Reviews English Archive.org version
Fujitsu's LifeBook P8020 is a well designed business laptop that offers a complete laptop experience including a DVD burner in a small 12.1-inch package. Many people might consider purchasing a netbook for their low cost and portability, but the LifeBook P8020 offers so much more admittedly at a much higher cost. It certainly is lightweight at just under three pounds but has a variety of small design decisions that make it slightly attractive than business class systems from HP or Lenovo.

With the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors (even the ultra low voltage ones), notebooks like the Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 are a perfect fit for business users who need an ultralight that’s capable of running MS Office apps, web browsers, Photoshop and phone syncing tools (like the BlackBerry desktop software) well. At 2.9 lbs., the Fujitsu is lighter and a bit faster than the Toshiba Portege A600, and it shines when it’s armed with a Solid State Drive. The notebook has all the necessary ports, a built-in optical drive and most security features. The super capacity main battery will lure business travelers who are often away from a power outlet and the notebook has a business serious but stylish look. Though the notebook performs well at multimedia and wireless, the display disappoints with a Tablet PC-like grainy screen and very limited viewing angle, and the speakers could sound better.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version

The Fujistu LifeBook P8020 is a good business ultraportable but could be considered limited when compared against rivals from HP and Lenovo. The build quality, while well above a standard consumer notebook, is slightly under the Thinkpad X200 or EliteBook 2530p, yet the P8020 is priced above both. The semi-rugged feel isn’t there, but Fujitsu does manage to offer a very lightweight construction and even an optical drive. The one aspect where I feel the P8020 really shines is the screen, which is a step above other 12" business notebooks.

80% Fujitsu Lifebook P1630 - Australian first review
Source: Gadget Zone English Archive.org version
It has the features and build quality we’ve come to expect from the Lifebook series including an LED backlit 8.9" WXGA Transmissive anti-glare screen and integrated 3.5G wireless internet capabilities. Under the hood, an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 processor running at 1.2GHz powers the P1360. The Fujitsu Lifebook P1360 is a highly portable tablet PC solution and will suit those that need something that performs well but is also suitable for taking on the road. It performed well and apart from a few small things we didn’t have any major problems with it.

Fujitsu-Siemens: Fujitsu, founded 1935, is a Japanese company specializing in semiconductors, air conditioners, computers (supercomputers, personal computers, servers), telecommunications, and services, and is headquartered in Tokyo. Fujitsu employs around 160,000 people and has 500 subsidiary companies. The partnership with Siemens AG was established in 1999 in the form of Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC), one of Europe's largest IT hardware suppliers, and owned 50/50 by Fujitsu and Siemens. 2009, this cooperation was terminated, FSC ended to exist. In future, no laptops will be sold with the brand "Fujitsu-Siemens" but only "Fujitsu".

Fujitsu-Siemens reviews

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.


These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on Mobile Intel 915GM chipset. It is the predecessor of Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The performance can be compared with the Mobile Radeon 9000 (with a 64 bit memory bus).

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.

Intel Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

Intel Core Solo: Single core version of the Core Duo and successor of the Intel Pentium M; Because of the 65nm reduced structure width also smaller current consumption than Pentium M (maximally 27 Watts); the performance is comparable with the equivalent clocked Pentium M (somewhat faster because of a few improvements).

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

SU9400:

Power efficient low voltage processor based on the Penryn 3M core that features all Penryn functions like Virtualization and Trusted Execution.

74.17%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
