Fujitsu LifeBook U7310 Laptop Review: Good 13-inch business laptop without performance ambitions, but with unique selling point

Business laptop does not want to play.

The 13.3-inch small LifeBook U7310 is aimed at business customers, so it has a number of security features on board and also scores with a real unique selling point. But the office notebook is not equally suitable for everyone. Our test will clarify who the 1,200-Euro (~$1,425) business laptop is aimed at.
Business Comet Lake Laptop Security

The LifeBook series addresses itself to mobile business customers, and also the 13.3-inch large U7310 offers various safety functions and is particularly suitable for working, writing and mobile employment (keyword SIM slot with LTE support). We compare it to the 13-inch and business competition listed below.

The housing is made of a mix of plastic, aluminum and magnesium. The former decorates the underside, the display edges and the keyboard insert, while the base unit with the palm rests is made of a mix of aluminum and magnesium.

The base makes a stable impression and the hinges are also of sufficient strength. The display lid cracks when bent, and it can be opened by just over 180 degrees. The workmanship is good, but unfortunately the right mouse button rattles and the AC port for the power plug wobbles.

On the bottom side there is a docking port and a removable battery with 60 Wh - a real rarity nowadays and possibly a buying argument. There is also a maintenance hatch with access to the memory. The SIM slot is also hidden under the battery. To the right of the touchpad there is either a fingerprint sensor or a palm-vein sensor.

Connection equipment

The U7310 has three USB ports, one supports Thunderbolt 3, and the device can alternatively be charged via USB-C port (also supports DisplayPort), and besides HDMI, there's even an old VGA port installed. A LAN slot is also available, and while business customers might be happy about the smartcard slot, others should be satisfied with the full-fledged SD card reader on the front.

The connections usually have enough space to each other, and only HDMI and USB-A are located quite close to each other on the left side and right-handers might find the LAN and VGA connection on the right side (but far back) suboptimal.

How to activate the lighting?

Fujitsu relies on a pleasantly soft keyboard with a longer stroke and good feedback. The keys themselves are quite small (~1.45 cm) but have enough space between them. After a short time, writing on them is very successful and fun. The typing volume is okay.

The layout is functional, the F- and arrow keys are a bit smaller again, but at least the latter have their own place. The power switch is located separately on the right above the keys. The two-stage backlighting that was actually present did not work at all. The spacebar has a corresponding icon, but it could not be activated despite the Fn key over several combination attempts.

Touchpad
Touchpad

The touchpad is a bit small (9.8 x 4.8 cm), but it has dedicated mouse buttons, of which the right one rattles unsightly. The clicking noises are very quiet, and the gliding behavior of the pad is good, only at very low speeds it can stall a bit.

Display - Ordinary display of the Fujitsu LifeBook

The matte Chi-Mei panel scored good but not outstanding values in the test: an average brightness of 341 nits is okay, and the illumination is very good at 92%. Contrast and black level should be better, though; the competition has advantages here. The display is already well calibrated at the factory and has fairly high color-space coverage (sRGB: full, AdobeRGB: 63.6%).

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
24.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.4 ms rise
↘ 10.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 54 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
37.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18.8 ms rise
↘ 18.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 51 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8684 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outdoors, the matte surface eliminates disturbing reflections, and the brightness is sufficient for shady areas. The colors could be a little more saturated.

Outside in shade

Oblique viewing angle
Oblique viewing angle

The IPS display is less stable in viewing angles than other IPS panels, and brightness is quickly lost when viewing at an angle. Fujitsu also offers an optional ePrivacy filter. At the touch of a button, the lateral viewing-angle stability is greatly reduced so that third parties cannot read the screen.

Performance - LifeBook with weak vital signs

Fujitsu uses Comet Lake with the Intel Core i5-10210U, and the rather weak GPU (UHD Graphics 620) is integrated into the processor. In addition there is 8 GB RAM (expandable, one slot free) and 256 GB SSD main memory. The LifeBook U7310 is not a high-performance athlete but is designed for secure and economical office use for business customers.

Processor

There are five CPU options in total, and the Intel Core i5-10210U installed here represents the second-weakest configuration. The top model has a built-in i7-10610U. The i5-10210U from the 10th Intel generation theoretically clocks between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (4 cores maximum 3.9 GHz).

In the Cinebench tests, the CPU in the LifeBook performs below its capabilities. The ThinkPad X13 with the same CPU is about 30 to 50% faster (multithread)! Compared to the average i5-10210U from our database it is missing 14 to 27%. The AMD competition is off and running anyway. In the loop for 30 minutes it shows that the performance is constant and does not show the typical drop after the first few runs, just because the performance level is set very low. In battery mode the performance does not decrease significantly.

Graphics card

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 has gotten a bit long in the tooth. It is sufficient for an office laptop, but games are only possible with very old or undemanding titles. The integrated GPUs of the AMD competition set themselves apart here, but also Intel has much better models to offer.

Even in the synthetic 3DMark tests, Fujitsu can't tap the potential of its hardware and performs between 5 and 16% worse than the average with the same CPU/GPU. Accordingly, the ThinkPad X13 with the same CPU/GPU is always significantly faster.

Sound characteristics

All competitors operate here at about the same level. In idle, the fans are mostly idle anyway and even under stress, the fans are hardly audible. Our test model has slight volume advantages under maximum load due to the strong throttling. The noise level of the AMD Ryzen competition is impressive, which performs much better, but remains similarly quiet.

Temperature

Under maximum load, the underside in the rear, central area can heat up to 42 °C. Overall, the U7310 is one of the coolest units in the test under load, and the throttling must have advantages. The palm rests always stay pleasantly cool, even under stress.

In the stress test, the cores clock at over 3 GHz for a few seconds and then quickly drop to just 1.3 GHz. After 10 minutes with Prime95 and Furmark, they drop further to 1.2 GHz, well below the base clock of 1.6 GHz. The core temperatures rise up to 87 °C, then the throttling sets in, then they level off at around 74 °C, an extremely relaxed value, where Fujitsu obviously puts quietness and coolness before high performance - for an office device probably not the worst decision.

Speakers

Of course, loudspeakers do not really come into their own in a 13-inch housing. According to our values they should be louder and of course have hardly any bass. We therefore recommend connecting external audio devices. In addition to HDMI and USB, a combined jack slot is available for this purpose, the quality of which is perfectly acceptable.

Energy consumption

In idle and for smaller tasks, the U7310 consumes relatively little. But under load, and especially under very high load, the device consumes far too much, given its severely limited performance, and even the considerably more powerful AMD laptops are then even more economical.

Battery life

The battery life is actually good in the class average (between 8 and 11 hours in the WLAN test, depending on brightness), but is put in perspective again in view of the large battery. Although the U7310 with its 60 Wh battery lasts longest in comparison, the ThinkPad, for example, has only a 48 Wh battery, and with maximum brightness in the WLAN test, it has virtually the same runtime.

Verdict

In review: Fujitsu LifeBook U7310. Test unit provided by Fujitsu.
In review: Fujitsu LifeBook U7310. Test unit provided by Fujitsu.

Everything about the Fujitsu LifeBook U7310 is designed for quiet, cool and secure office operation. In itself this is a good decision, but Fujitsu may be taking things a bit too far and sacrificing too much performance.

The U7310 has some plus points or even unique selling points on its side, like the removable battery, the maintenance cover, the optional palm vein sensor, the SIM slot and the full-fledged SD card reader.

Business customers get a good working laptop with many security features, but users who also want to run graphics applications will probably be disappointed with the performance of the Fujitsu. In everyday office life, however, this is unlikely to be a problem - the small quality flaws such as the rattling right mouse button or the wobbling power plug, on the other hand, are a problem - especially at a price of well over 1,000 Euros (~$1,188). Also annoying are the driver problems and the resulting latencies and dropped frames during YouTube video playback.

The LifeBook U7310 is a quiet, cool business laptop with useful security features and a removable battery. To achieve this, however, Fujitsu severely limits the performance, and there are also slight flaws in the workmanship.
