Fujitsu FPCBP251 battery

The loudspeakers supply, as in so many other notebooks, a quite loud maximum but also very treble prone sound. Basses are almost completely missing. The sound gets a bit richer first when you try around with Windows own sound enhancements. FUJITSU LifeBook S762 battery

Lenovo has also selected the loudspeaker's position well because a soft surface or a placed hand can't obstruct the sound at passing, which would happen if the speakers had been placed underneath the front edge or in the wrist rest. FUJITSU LifeBook S752/E battery

The headphone-out doesn't give a reason for complaint either, as they provide a balanced and rich sound. However, it comes to a short delay till you hear the sound out of the loudspeakers again when the headphones are removed. But you can see if the headphone is plugged in or not in Window's task bar. FUJITSU LifeBook S752 battery

A 6 cell battery from the manufacturer Sanyo has been built into our prototype, which provides the SL510 with circa 48 watt hours of power. Alternately, you can also get a 9 cell battery from Lenovo that bids 94 watt hours, but protrudes over the case. FUJITSU LifeBook S751 battery

We reached a maximum battery runtime of 284 minutes with the included battery. The notebook still lasted for a good one-and-a-half hours under full load. Both quite practical test for WLAN surfing and DVD rendering supplied values that were pretty much exactly between those: The ThinkPad SL510 lasted 188 respectively 175 minutes before it had to go back to the mains. CELSIUS H710 battery

An efficient battery as well as a low power consumption is responsible for this acceptable battery life. The first indications are found on Lenovo's homepage, where the EPEAT silver award is listed for the SL510, which is given from the American environmental agency. Additionally, the Energy Star logo is disclosed on the ThinkPad's lid. CELSIUS H720 battery

Even in our tests, the ThinkPad SL510 proved that it's rather stingy with energy: the black notebook needs at least 8.2 watt and at most 42.2 watts, as the maximum rate. Room lighting will likely need more electricity than the laptop, especially as a notebook designed for office use, like the ThinkPad SL510, will probably not often be pushed to its performance limits and stay there for a longer period. CELSIUS H910 battery

Since Lenovo took over the rights of the ThinkPad from IBM in 2005, an increasing amount of notebooks of the ThinkPad family are found that rather aim more at end consumers than business clients. The SL range bids a few known qualities, such as the good keyboard, the trackpoint, the hard disk recovery, the good software and the fingerprint reader. These security features make the ThinkPad SL510 interesting for smaller businesses, too. FUJITSU LifeBook S761 battery

The stable workmanship and the unelaborate design are qualities, FUJITSU LifeBook P770 battery with which the ThinkPads have already scored by its fans and they have also been realized in the ThinkPad SL510. However, business people and fans will be missing a few features: The Thinklight, a good substitute for a keyboard light, has just as well been saved as the UltraBay and the docking port. Multimedia fans would have appreciated a somewhat stronger graphic card and the processor could have used a few more megahertz. Aside from that, the loudspeakers only supply an adequate sound. FUJITSU LifeBook SH761 battery

On the whole, Lenovo relies a bit too much on the sounding name "ThinkPad" for our taste and only wants to gain multimedia fans as customers. FUJITSU LifeBook P772 battery But the SL range sits on the fence: Multimedia users won't care much about the fingerprint reader, while the optional features, such as a glossy display or a BluRay drive are unfeasible for business people. If you're only looking for a low-priced start in the ThinkPad range and can live with the weaknesses, you will get a few of the quaint qualities, though. FUJITSU LifeBook P771 battery

The high-gloss trend isn't only questionable for displays but obviously the manufacturers - amongst them Acer, too - feel obliged to pursue it. Fujitsu-siemens S26391-F405-L810 battery The new multimedia notebooks from the manufacturer are definitely something for piano lacquer fetishists - there are ample high-gloss surfaces on these notebooks. Adjacent to the 18.4 inch display giant, the Aspire 8940G, the smaller brother, Aspire 5940G, ends up on our test bench. Acer squeezes the laptop in the densely packed multimedia and all-round laptops with the new Intel Core i7 processor, a state-of-the-art AMD Radeon graphic, a BluRay drive and multimedia control elements and tries to captivate not just with its looks. Fujitsu S26391-F518-L200 battery

The gaming and multimedia notebook market seemed to stagnate technologically for some time. But now, just in time for Christmas business, all manufacturers are finally urging the revitalization of the dusty notebook category with various new technologies – Acer is no exception, either. Aside from the already mentioned components, a few treats, like LED backlight and HDMI and S/PDIF interfaces, belong to the package. Fujitsu FPCBP251 battery

While we're at talking design, we could take a closer look at the case: striking, elegant and a futuristic touch with organic influences - that's how the pictures and impressions of the case can probably be best described. But one questions turns up when you look at the closed case: where is the front, where is the rear? Fujitsu FPCBP233AP battery

This question isn't trivial at all because the beveled (- and here is the solution) back side could be a wrist rest. Besides, the display hinges can't be recognized as being such right away. After short disorientation and opening trials on the wrong side, it becomes obvious that the laptop is the right way around when the lettering on the lid is the wrong way around. Fujitsu FPCBP233 battery

The entire case is black. Too dull? No. Basically, black is a timeless "color". Additionally, Fujitsu FPCBP176AP battery accents are set by adept design elements in blue and the keyboard illumination in white, as well as the Acer logo. Fujitsu FPCBP176 battery

The large display lid impresses in a closed state with imposing fingerprints on the glossy piano finish and the two unusual openings of the "Acer Tuba CineBass Booster" trimmed in blue. But it still can be rather difficult to distinguish the notebook's "front and back" with an opened display,Fujitsu CP335319-01 battery as long as the device is still deactivated - because both the display's front, as well as back are both black; the front side without a visible delimitation between display and frame; the junction is seamless - has a smooth surface - both sides reflect equally intense. One thing is certain – you can definitely leave your shaving mirror at home when you're travelling. Fujitsu FPCBP234AP battery

The case is made of hard plastic that looks stable on the cases outside but also cheap. Fujitsu FPCBP234 battery The keyboard area has been designed quite interestingly and can be described in three parts. We'll start on the bottom, so in the touchpad area. There is a broad strip of glossy finish applied on the very edge, where oily residue immediately remains when you lay your hands on it. The touchpad keys, which melt into the design quite agreeably and only discern themselves insignificantly, are also implanted in this high-gloss strip. A fingerprint scanner is also placed between both keys. Fujitsu FPCBP198 battery

A lighter colored plastic surface with a kind of metal structure borders over this edge strip. Fujitsu FPCBP175 battery On this surface, right and left of the touchpad, big stickers that boast with impressive keywords about the Aspire's technical configuration have been placed. They destroy the tidy and attuned impression of the design. The keyboard follows with a bordering "Media Touch" control field and "Arcade Volume Meter". The keyboard impresses with its unusual design appearance: The keys seem to hover. This effect is reached with several factors: Fujitsu CP335311-01 battery

The latter looks great but as with all lacquer surfaces, this won't stay this clean for long. Cleaning this area will be a great challenge. Three hot keys for WLAN, Bluetooth and a backup function are found on the keyboard's left. "Media Touch" buttons that should simplify the control of multimedia content have been placed on the right. The "Arcade Volume Meter" looks like a turntable and is a felicitous, creative implementation of volume control. Fujitsu-siemens Lifebook E8420 battery

The "Dolby Home Theater" has been accommodated in the area above the keyboard beside the power button. According to the specifications, they are 2.1 stereo loudspeakers with bass reflex vents. A perforated structure in the plastic is used to emit the sound well. Fujitsu-siemens LifeBook E8410 battery

The case's stability (just like the design) isn't very different to that of its bigger brother. Fujitsu-siemens CELSIUS H250 battery The frame appears to have a fairly good torsional stiffness but the stability decreases towards the surface's center and deformations could turn up under according average pressure. This especially applies to the display lid that already yields in the center under light pressure greatly. We established a further weak point in the "Media Touch" key area: On the one side, you tend to apply stronger pressure due to the missing feed back of the "Touch" key (there's no "click" noise). On the other, the optical drive is underneath these keys, whereas a weak spot in the case is created. Fujitsu LifeBook NH570 battery

The hinges on the display appear to be stable but only allow for a restricted opening angle (125 degrees). Fujitsu LifeBook AH530 battery In any case, this results in deductions in the ergonomic score. In return, it's fortunate that the fan grids on the left rear bottom turn out quite narrow and discharge waste air out of the back. We don't understand the increasing practice to leave out a display closing mechanism. It may be that it's not especially important for this notebook category as it's been conceived for stationary use. But it does happen that such notebooks are carried around. In this case, a good display lock would be desirable to prevent an unintentional opening or penetration of foreign objects. Fujitsu Lifebook A6210 battery

If you want a multimedia notebook, you need interface variety. The Aspire 5940G can score here: Monitors can be connected to the laptop via a VGA or HDMI interface. Audio is either emitted via HDMI or an electrical S/PDIF (combo port with headphone socket). A microphone and line-in are further audio sockets. Fujitsu LifeBook A532 battery

The ExpressCard slot is directly above them. This could get tight if the inserted card turns out a bit thicker. Acer has been a bit stingy with only three USB ports, particularly since one of them is a combination with eSATA. Thus it quickly gets tight on the case's left and we have to recommend using thin USB sticks. Also on this side: a 1 Gbit/s LAN, DC-in, Kensington lock. Fujitsu LifeBook A531/D battery

Left - Surprise! Another USB port - that's then a total of four. The optical drive follows, beside which the Firewire connection and the 6-in-1 cardreader are found. Fujitsu LifeBook A531 battery

A, in the meantime, rare infrared port is found on the front. There aren't any ports on the rear. Further unlisted, because wireless, ports are Bluetooth 2.1 and WLAN a/b/g/n. The very multimedia overture is rounded off by an integrated webcam that can also allegedly take HD pictures in 720p. The port distribution is good for righties but lefties could have their problems. Fujitsu LifeBook A530 battery

Acer preinstalls several software tools that are more or less useful beside Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Among others, a coding program for personal files, a backup manager (that also has a separate button), various arcade games, a media center desktop with BluRay support, software for the fingerprint scanner and the HD webcam, as well as a software updater. Fujitsu LifeBook A1220 battery

There aren't any further supplies in the carton. You even have to create a recovery DVD yourself with Acer software support. FUJITSU FMVNE6HM battery

It looks futuristic, as though the keyboard floats closely over the notebook's case. Fujitsu S26391-F547-L100 battery The keys have about the same size as a normal keyboard due to the case size. Additionally, the keys aren't close beside each other, which increases typing comfort significantly. The stroke and pressure points are also pleasant and well-palpable and agreeably quiet - there's no clattering or rumbling audible. But the stroke length could be a bit slighter - in the beginning you have a strange feeling of delay, which may relativize itself after a certain accommodation period. The shift and Crtl keys on the left have turned out a bit small. And the arrow keys are too small for a notebook with gaming ambitions! Fujitsu FPCBP276 battery

The keyboard's discreet, white background light is very pleasing. Fujitsu FMVNBP197 battery This allows the right key to be located quickly even in dark gaming nights. And the light is also handy for touch-typists. If you don't like it or if you just want to watch a DVD/BluRay, you can turn off the light with a push of a button - naturally, the multimedia control field's light has a separate button on the keyboard's right. Fujitsu FUTRO MP702 battery

This control field can be practical depending on the laptop's use - it's connected with the user's preferences. Fujitsu FUTRO MA552 battery That the multimedia keys are so-called "soft-touch" keys needs getting used to in any case, as they don't have a pressure point. The confirmation of an accepted command is verified by the key's blinking. You can disable these keys with a special key if you don't need them or if the brighter light is disturbing. FUJITSU LIFEBOOK E752/E battery A nice idea and also very stylish is the volume control executed as a "jog-dial". A separate numerical block has been omitted because of the media keys - it's first found in the bigger brother, 8940G. Three hot keys for backup, Bluetooth and WLAN are on the left of the keyboard - we find this very handy.

The touchpad proves to be a multi-gesture pad, FUJITSU LIFEBOOK E742/E battery with which you can control functions with two fingers more or less conveniently, among others zooming and scrolling. Once again, the efficiency depends on the individual user. We found the scroll bar integrated on the touchpad's right as rather annoying while navigating because the pad, unfortunately, isn't placed centrally before the keyboard and we unintentionally touched the scroll bar's area quickly. If you don't want to use the pad, you can disable it with the hot key. Otherwise, the touchpad makes a good impression but it can't, as often, replace a real mouse permanently for ergonomical reasons. FUJITSU Lifebook N532/E battery

The display accommodates one of the biggest technical innovations. After reflective glare displays are still being discussed controversially, the LED technology in LCDs should only have advantages. On the one side, LEDs need less energy and less place. The illumination can be executed more homogeneous and flickering is a foreign word. FUJITSU Lifebook N532 battery

The brightness with an average of 197 cd/m2 is a good value, but not overwhelming. In comparison, the bigger brother, Aspire 8940G, doesn't have an LED display and quite a low brightness with 155 cd/m2 - Macs shine with a ca. 288 cd/m2 bright display. The illumination is strongest on the lower display edge and decreases upwards, but is constant otherwise. This suggests that the LED light has been built into the lower display area. FUJITSU Lifebook LH532 battery

The black value of 0.95 cd/m² is also very good. Vibrant colors are given by the reflective glare surface. But woes betide when an external light source is near: The user's vanity is demanded because he can look at himself at length in the display. This, in connection with the display's restricted opening angle, is ergonomically very precarious. Working outdoors - better forget it. FUJITSU Lifebook SH531 battery

The resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels only allows for HD movies with a maximum of 720p, but this is beneficial for the graphic performance in games. The user then can chose a higher detail level, instead of wasting graphic performance on high resolution levels. FUJITSU Lifebook LH531 battery

It's remarkable how stable viewing angles of modern LCDs can be. But the "glare" surface of the Aspire 5940G leads to poorer rates. This is only particularly obvious when looking downwards, but together with the restricted opening angles it could mean limits for the user. The deviations aren't so dramatic from the side and first turn up at greater angles. FUJITSU Lifebook BH531 battery

A further technological treat is the Intel Core i7 processor - it is currently applied in many new notebooks of a higher performance class. Barely anyone would have believed a year ago that four core processor would find their way into affordable middle class notebooks. Fujitsu S26391-F886-L100 battery The built-in 720QM is the smallest mobile Core i7 prozessors currently available. But it already bids a good computing performance with a clock rate of up to 2.8 GHz and also due to hyperthreading, thus eight logical cores. A four GByte DDR3 RAM working memory, together with Intel's new chip set, P55, always supply the processor with enough data to compute. Fujitsu S26391-F777-L200 battery

Most games, however, merely benefit from the turbo function, which partly overclocks the processor. Only few games can use the processor's efficiency completely, e.g. by distributing the AI calculation on the cores. In return, video or image editing software usually feel at home on the many cores. Fujitsu S26391-F795-L600 battery

The built-in AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4650 belongs to the middle class of mobile notebook graphic cards. Fujitsu FPCBP215AP battery In comparison to AMD's top group of graphic cards, it has about only half of the pixel shader units (320 shader), a 100 MHz lower GPU rate (550 MHz) and the 1 GByte of graphic memory is even clocked down by 200 MHz to 800 Mhz. Because the display doesn't have a full HD resolution, Fujitsu FPCBP200 battery modern games can be played in medium detail levels well, anyway - older games, of course, run smoothly even in the highest detail level. Energy savings functions and the possibility of rendering HD videos smoothly are common for state-of-the-art graphic chips . Fujitsu FPCBP200AP battery

The HD4650's gaming performance might be a bit too low for the chosen processor but due to the target retail price and the notebook's alignment on the market it's still reasonable. High-end graphic chips are partly twice as expensive, and the notebooks then also cost twice as much. Fujitsu FPCBP200 battery
