90% Fujitsu LifeBook E736 review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
We're in two minds with the E736. On paper, it is one of the best business laptops available, but it comes at a premium which makes this notebook hard to recommend, especially when its rivals offer a bit more of everything at a much, much lower price.

Model: The Fujitsu LifeBook E736-0M87BPDE is a mid-range laptop. Thanks to an Intel Core i7-6600U CPU, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, a 512 GB SSD and an Intel HD Graphics 520, the laptop is suitable for business usage. The maximum supported RAM capacity is 32 GB. Its 13.3-inch anti-glare IGZO display features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. To make it even better for business usage on the go, it weighs from 1.6 kg at a dimension of 321 x 228 x 27 mm, which is very lightweight. In addition, it delivers a built-in Full HD webcam and stereo speakers.

The laptop has Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC8260 11ac with integrated Bluetooth 4.1 built in for wireless connectivity. As for interfaces, it features one DC-in, one audio line-in/out port, two digital microphones, three USB 3.0 ports, a VGA port, a DisplayPort, a RJ-45 Ethernet port and an SD card reader capable to read SDs up to 2 GB, SDHC up to 32 GB and SDXC up to 128 GB. In addition, a SIM card slot is available on this laptop to support 3G/UMTS or 4G/LTE data connectivity. For this feature, the laptop has extra two UMTS/LTE antennas installed in addition to the two Dual band WLAN antennas.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

6600U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Fujitsu: Fujitsu is a Japanese technology group listed on the Nikkei 225 with origins dating back to 1935. Its products and services focus on information technology, telecommunications, semiconductors, networks, computer and communications products and advanced microelectronics.

In 1999, the cooperation with Siemens in the IT sector (servers, notebooks, desktop PCs, etc.) started under the Fujitsu-Siemens brand. 10 years later, this cooperation ended.

90%: There are not very many models that are rated better. Most of the assessments are in percentage ranges below that. The tested product is not considered perfect, but the sources give a clear purchase recommendation.
