Reviews for the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S6410 02DE
Light, persistent, and powerful notebook. The Lifebook S6410 is a light, compact, and fast notebook, equipped with Dual-Core-Ultraportable processor, which rates good in our review. The solid and sophisticated case and the additional security features make it a general-purpose and reliable companion. The S6410 is suited for demanding business and private customers.

The Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S6410 proved a mixed bag in terms of performance, delivering an impressive battery life that most people will be more than satisfied with, while the processing power leaves a little to be desired. On the whole, if you need a machine for use on the road, this more than lives up to expectations.

Overall the LifeBook S6410 is a solid ultra-portable laptop for business users. Its performance is average rather than leading-edge, but it’s more that up to the task of running typical business applications. The integrated Intel graphics won’t handle demanding 3D applications or games, and the fixed Webcam can make positioning a little difficult. But the display itself is sharp and clear, and the integrated 3G connectivity and 802.11n are perfect for those who need to stay connected. The only real disappointment is build quality, which could prove a problem under heavy use.

If you find proper ultraportables too small, but want something light and compact to take with you on the road, the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S6410 is a good compromise. It offers decent performance and reasonable battery life. It's not the prettiest machine available, but it should be fairly dependable and it's got a nice personality.

Comment
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.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
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.
T7500:
The Core 2 Duo T7500 is a Merom based Core 2 Duo with 4MB Level 2 Cache. It is positioned in the middle class (in 2009) and performs on par with a modern P7550 or Turion II Ultra M640/M660.

Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.79 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
