Fujitsu LifeBook S2210 Review
Source: Notebookreveiw.com
The Fujitsu LifeBook S2210 is a decent notebook with good looks, the 13.3" screen size is really quite a sweet spot between being an ultraportable and larger 14" thin-and-light notebook. It's easy to carry around, yet not so small that the screen is tough for viewing. Speaking of viewing, the screen is absolutely fantastic. The professional styling and cool looking media buttons would suit a practical but style conscious business person. The downsides to the notebook are the middling battery life, it runs a bit warm, and the keyboard could be improved. On the whole though there's not much to complain about. The starting price of the S2210 is around $1,299 and the price as tested is $1,979. Personally I think the price is a bit high for what you get relative to other notebooks out there, but as always you can shop around to find better prices, so do your homework there.

With nearly every laptop manufacturer having abandoned standard-aspect displays for the roomier widescreen format, it's a bit of a shock to see a square-shaped screen these days. And yet here comes the Fujitsu LifeBook S2210's boxy 13.3-inch display, which joins a few ThinkPads in making a final stand for this dying breed. While that's not enough to dismiss the S2210 outright, its fine array of components and features don't compensate for the short battery life.

Bottom line: The Fujitsu LifeBook S2210 business ultraportable has a larger-than-average screen and a built-in optical drive. The base model is the best value. Pros: 4-pounder with a 13.3-inch screen. Optical drive is modular. Cons: Below-average processor. Middling performance. Top-tier configuration is overpriced.

The good: Conservative (yet not boring) design; strong application performance; useful set of ports and connections. The bad: Display is not wide-screen; short battery life. The bottom line: Fujitsu's business-oriented thin-and-light LifeBook S2210 offers plenty of features and strong performance, but its standard-aspect display isn't for everyone. Worse, its battery life fell below our expectations.

AMD Turion 64 X2: AMD Turion 64 X2 (codenames Taylor and Trinidad) ought to be positioned against the Intel Core Duo and is a 64 Bit dual core processor with DDR2-667 support. The performance can be compared with Core Duo (with equal MHz number).

TL-52:

13.3": This is a frequent and the biggest display format for sub-notebooks.
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.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

1.6 kg: This sub-notebook weights less than the average of all notebooks and represent a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Fujitsu-Siemens: FSC is one of the mayor international manufacturers with especially high market shares in Germany. In the German speaking countries many notebook-models of FSC are reviewed. Only few of these tested laptops achieve top positions according total rating and price/value rating.
