The Fujitsu LifeBook E780 is designed for professionals who need a sturdy laptop with fast performance and good security features. It doesn't come cheap, however. The model we had in for review will set you back around £1200. The 15.6-inch Fujitsu LifeBook E780 is a speedy performer, has good security features and impressive build quality, but its high price and poor screen and keyboard let it down somewhat.

Fujitsu's LifeBook E780 is a 15.6in widescreen laptop with a boxy design and a tacky, two-tone colour scheme. Fujitsu's LifeBook E780 is designed for professional users who want a fast notebook with a high screen resolution that's also capable of being relatively easily transported. It's well built, has good security, and you get lots of connectivity. However, it could use a faster hard drive and a DVI or HDMI port.

There's no doubt that the Fujitsu LifeBook E780 is costly, but it's worth it if you want a laptop with a high-end CPU and a vibrant, Full HD screen. We wish it also had an HDMI or DVI port, and that the keys were a little softer to press. (The location of the Kensington lock on the right side is also awkward.) But overall, we like the build quality, the excellent screen, and the long list of connectivity features.

As a corporate laptop, the LifeBook E780 does a fairly decent job thanks to its nice set of security features to protect data. Consumers on the other hand are more interested in features such as graphics, storage and performance. In these areas, the LifeBook E780 comes up short of what the competition has to offer in this price range. The LifeBook E780 gets its desktop replacement label from its level of performance relative to other corporate class laptops.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

520M:
The Core i5-520M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.4-2.93 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD 3150) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

15.60":
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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.2.7 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
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.
75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
