FUJITSU LIFEBOOK S2210 REVIEW

The Fujitsu Lifebook S2210, the only entry from the Fujitsu camp in the ultra portables with an AMD processor. Not very appealing in the looks, we find out if the performance is worth it.

Design
The looks or the so-called design of this laptop is very poor. It looks more like a slab than anything, bland and ineffective. Weighing at 4 pounds, the laptop is quite solid and portable. The screen is 13.3 inches, glossy with the 4:3 aspect ratio. The maximum resolution supported is 1024x768, with Crystal View handling most of the screen beautifully. The colors were good and so was the image quality, not a bad screen by any measure. The keyboard is comfortable enough for long hours of work with handy multimedia and regular shortcut keys., but the touchpad suffers in the width. Now about the connectivity ports, PC Card slot, memory stick slot, S-video, Ethernet and USB. The absence of VGA slot makes it incompatible with older generation displays.

Performance
Running on an AMD 1.9Ghz Turion 64X2 TL-58, 2GB RAM, 100GB hard drive and onboard ATI GPU gave average results, not even the average of this category. The poor scores in 3DMark and PCMark are not even worth discussing here. Multi-tasking was not a problem and neither were the regular applications. It were the high-end applications which made the difference in various benchmarks. No gaming is possible on this one, and the other laptops with a Core-2-Duo and Nvidia GPUs outperform this offering from Fujitsu by a considerable difference.

A bad choice in every aspect, the Fujitsu Lifebook S2210 has nothing which can attract you. Can be categorized as an average business class notebook but you have better options in other notebooks, way better I mean.

Pros
+Good Screen

Cons
-Low battery life
-Poor design
-Below average performance.
