Comment

Model: The Fujitsu Lifebook U554 belongs to the U series and is stylish and thin. Design is kept clean with strong lines and edges while the entire device comes in black with red highlights, which look particularly beautiful inside the speaker grill and around the touchpad. The usage of plastic and aluminium ensures the Fujitsu Lifebook U554 remains as light as possible at just 1.47 kg. The build quality is excellent and should complement the portability of the device well.

Edging towards the business sector, the Fujitsu Lifebook U554 comes in various configurations. Users can select from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 8.1 Professional and from multiple hardware configurations. Inside there are an Intel Core i5-4200U processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM and an Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU. There are a few storage options from a 320 GB HDD to a 256 GB SSD either suiting a specific usage or budget.

The 13.3 inch LED display has an HD resolution and is anti-glare. Other features include an HD webcam, a USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI out, a memory card reader and even SIM card support depending on the model. Battery life is good with a 48 Wh Lithium-Polymer pack powering the device up to 11 hours.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

4200U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

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.

84%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
