FUJITSU LIFEBOOK N6470 REVIEW

Fujitsu through their history has made some of the nicest and most well constructed portable business notebooks around. The company's more consumer-oriented notebooks are more of a assorted bag, however, offering features that sets of clearly targeting home users but deficient in the strong styling cues of some of its competitors are something to be thought about. To know more on the new total home edition from FUJITSU lets read through.

Design
Fujitsu LifeBook N6470 design there’s not a lot to say here, which may or may not be a excellent thing, depending on your point of view. For a relatively expensive, high-spec laptop, this LifeBook doesn't do a lot to emphasize itself visually. The grey plastic top vies for the most unexciting and empty piece of 17-inch real estate we've seen come through the office in a while. LifeBook's control face, however, doesn't really follow through on this idea, with a insipid keyboard and touchpad design.

Performance
The N6470 lacks Fujitsu's trademark heat absorbing felt pads; it's not as agonizingly warm as might be expected. The N6470's audio presentation is another bright spot. Overall sound quality was rich and even, with a bottom-mounted subwoofer providing particularly gratifying bass response

Life Book comes with an Express Card TV tuner capable of pulling in both analog and digital over-the-air TV signals. Connections are easy, with a supplied adapter cord providing adaptation for traditional coax cables as well.

To save weight, the Life Book sports a minuscule (extremely light-weight) six-cell, 3200 mAh battery. In this case, the word "battery" probably implies too much: it would be more fitting to refer to what's in the N6470 as a "battery backup system."

Loaded With its 2.4GHz Penryn chipset and civilized graphics capabilities, the N6470 makes a perfectly tolerable gaming solution with the caveats about portability and battery life mentioned clearly in mind. With the N6470's minimal bloat ware excised, start-up times are acceptably fast, and common users should find the LifeBook more than fast enough for most purposes.

Overall
Overall performance numbers on the Life Book have more than held their own, this laptop is largely a box of a good specs sheet being let down by a lackluster user experience. With battery life that's a bit short of awful, an obnoxious keyboard, lots of flex and a generally unappealing look and feel, the N6470 seems to compensate its strong characteristics (beautiful screen, quick processor and plenty of RAM, multimedia capabilities) with some striking irritations and disappointments.

Pros
+ Penryn concert and plenty of memory
+ Superb screen with remarkable colors
+ High-quality multimedia capabilities
+ Grave styling may appeal to those wanting something less "gamer-Style”

Cons
- Upsetting flex calls build quality into question
- Keyboard a soreness for long-term typing
- Extremely bad battery life
