Case, equipment and input devices

We already know the Lifebook U9310X's magnesium casing from the Lifebook U939X. At 1.024 kg, the convertible is extremely light and also looks very good in red, but the device is also available in black as an alternative. The stability is very good, but the device does not feel extremely high-end due to the low weight. The screen can be completely folded down and therefore allows different operating modes.

One advantage of the Fujitsu computer are the extensive ports including 2x Thunderbolt 3, but you also do not have to do without normal USB-A connectors or an Ethernet port. The stylus for the touchscreen can also be accommodated in the casing.The keyboard (illuminated) is quite small and the pressure point is also a bit spongy. Other business devices offer better inputs here. Our model also has an LTE modem, which means you do not always have to rely on Wi-Fi networks when you are on the road.

Display - Lifebook with IPS touchscreen

The IPS touchscreen offers an anti-reflective surface, but bright areas look a bit grainy. The resolution is still 1920 x 1080 pixels, but a different panel is used compared to the old Lifebook U939X. The subjective picture impression is decent, but we measure PWM flickering at only 211 Hz from a brightness of 30% or less, which can lead to problems.

The brightness is more than 300 cd/m² and the contrast ratio (1400:1) does not disappoint either. The sRGB color space is almost completely covered and calibration is already very decent ex-factory. Thus, the U9310X is also suitable for editing pictures. The convertible can be used outdoors, but we would have wished for an even brighter panel. There are no problems with the viewing angle stability.

Display Response Times

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
34.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18 ms rise
↘ 16.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 91 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
62.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 25.6 ms rise
↘ 26.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 96 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 detected 211.9 Hz ≤ 30 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 211.9 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 30 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 211.9 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance, emissions and battery life

The Core i5-10210U (4 cores/8 threads) is run with 18/30 watts, which leads to average results within the comparison group. You have to reckon with a performance reduction of about 15% during longer load. On the other hand, the performance drops by about 40% in battery mode.

Thanks to the fast PCIe-SSD, the general system performance is very good, which is also supported by the PCMark 10 results. The integrated UHD Graphics 620 is well-suited for everyday office use and can also easily handle high-resolution video playback. However, the performance is also significantly reduced here on battery power (-60%). The performance yield is good thanks to the dual-channel working memory, but the overall performance is still too low for gaming.

The single fan remains very quiet in everyday use and is only noticeable with a quiet noise even under load. The surface temperatures are still harmless under load and the convertible also stays very cool during everyday tasks

The battery life is very good. You can expect at least 3 hours under load, and it is even 11.5 hours in our WLAN test with 150 cd/m². Even at maximum screen brightness, a bit more than 8 hours are still possible in the WLAN test.

Fujitsu only slightly updates its business convertible with the Lifebook UX9310X, because there are no changes apart from a Wi-Fi 6 module and the Comet Lake processor. The great strength remains the sturdy and light magnesium case as well as the numerous ports and security features. You do not have to rely on adapters here. In addition, the convertible is versatile with its matte touchscreen, and you are always connected to the Internet thanks to integrated LTE. The battery life is also good.

The power yield is not overwhelming, but it is perfectly sufficient for many common office applications. The performance (especially iGPU) is only reduced significantly in battery mode. At the same time, temperatures and fan noise remain within limits

The Fujitsu Lifebook U9310X convinces with its mobility including built-in LTE and extensive connectivity. However, we would like to see improved input devices and a 16:10 touchscreen for the next update.

The weak points are still the input devices. They are not bad, but other business convertibles clearly have an advantage here. Fujitsu should definitely keep the matte touchscreen, but a change to a 16:10 panel would be desirable. We also expect a change to Intel's Tiger-Lake CPUs or perhaps even AMD's Ryzen CPUs for the next model, although AMD is hardly represented in business convertibles so far (which is true for almost all manufacturers).

Price and availability

The tested model is currently available at Cyberport, among others, for just under 1,800 Euros. Alternatively, a cheaper configuration without LTE is also available for around 1,400 Euros.
