The Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P7230 is well equipped for the harsh life on the road and would make an ideal travel companion if that's your main focus. However, its performance and specifications are a little subpar. We also think it's very expensive, so this Lifebook won't be suitable for everyone.

Attention, all you Legally Blonde fans, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 now comes with a hot-pink lid for US customers. PC Advisor recently reviewed its, ahem, more masculine twin for UK users.
This Limited Pink Edition Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 ultraportable looks as darling as a teacup chihuahua peeking out of a tote. And the Limited Pink Edition Fujitsu LifeBook P7230's battery life is like totally awesome, too. But even though the Limited Pink Edition Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 can do almost everything a full-size laptop can - even burn DVDs - it takes two to three times longer because of its slow processor.
Equipped with a 1.2GHz Core Solo U1400 chip and 1GB of RAM, the Limited Pink Edition Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 earned a lackluster WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 32.

Im Test waren drei Notebooks mit einem Display von 7 Zoll bis 14 Zoll. Das Highlight innerhalb des dunklen Magnesiumgehäuses ist ... der integrierte UMTS-HSDPA-Chipsatz, so dass man überall 'ins Netz gehen' kann.

The Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P7230 isn’t ideal for everyone. If you need a machine that is powerful enough to handle anything, then it isn’t for you. However, if you’re out and about for long periods of the working day and need to work, as well as stay in contact with email, then you’ll find the combination of size and battery life impressive to say the least.

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 email, 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 1.5kg you can find.

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
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.

Comment

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).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

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)

U2500:

10.6": The notebook has a very small and rare display format for Subnotebooks. This format is used rather rarely.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

1.39 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

75.64%: This rating is not convincing. It must be considered, that there exist hardly any laptops, which receive a rating below 60%. This notebook is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
