If we have to be honest, we were a bit disappointed the first time we held this device in our hands. However, it seems like Fujitsu has made a ton of sensible decisions, given the fact that this is one of the most affordable 15-inch business laptops on offer at the moment of writing this review. Now, the elephant in the room for us was the build quality. Here, we saw cheap plastic, a touchpad with a rough surface but with a very nimble response, a flimsy lid. In our view, though, (of course, when our expectations are adjusted to the price), this is a small price to pay for what you get. Especially with the ease of upgrades. Yes, the LifeBook A3510 has a service lid. Essentially, this means that only one screw separates you from upgrading your memory and M.2 storage.

The palm rest has a corrugated texture, and the back and bottom of the lid have a rough finish. Overall, this case is less prone to fingerprints. The chiclet keyboard is unlit, and its slightly rough keys have short travel and well-defined pressure points. Overall, Fujitsu offers a keyboard that's suitable for everyday typing tasks. The smooth surface of the multi-touch-capable touchpad (approximately 9.9 x 6.1 cm or 3.9 x 2.4 inches) facilitates finger gliding. The touchpad also responds to input in the corners. The two independent mouse buttons have short travel and clear pressure points.
As for hardware, the LifeBook A3510 has the Core i3-1005G1 dual-core processor (Ice Lake) that runs at a base clock speed of 1.2 GHz, which can be boosted to 3.4 GHz with turbo boost. An NVMe solid-state drive (M.2-2280) from Samsung that provides 256GB of total storage capacity as a system drive. Although the A3510 isn't a gaming laptop, Intel's UHD Graphics G1 inside is still capable of reproducing some games smoothly at low resolutions and low-quality settings. As for RAM, there are 8GB pre-installed running single-channel mode and another memory slot available for an optional upgrade by users themselves. The operating system is Windows 10 Pro, which can be upgraded to Windows 11. While the 15.6-inch matte display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels offers a very good contrast ratio of 1982:1, the brightness is slightly low at 209.1 cd/m² which might slightly affect usage outdoors. The monitor offers a decent color reproduction. The IPS panel provides stable viewing angles and can be read from any position. The content of the display can still be read if the environmental lighting is not too bright.
The Lifebook A3510 offer three USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2), supporting Power Delivery and DisplayPort via USB-C. Along with the HDMI port, the A3510 offers two video ports. The WLAN module includes an Intel chip (Wireless-AC 9560) that supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard.

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.
