Fujitsu LifeBook A512 review: budget laptop with fast processor and anti-glare display is good for business use
Source: PC Advisor
Very short battery life recommend this laptop to a life on the mains leash, although its older IO, low-res screen and chunky build still make it hard to get excited about this dated design. In its favour are relatively easy memory and drive upgrades, fairly fast main processor and an anti-glare display.
