Now that you see what the two grand price will get you, it’s time to know if it’s worthy, too. Here’s our review.

Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 PROs

For me when I buy a laptop or I look for one the weight is very important and I always tend to have that number as low as possible. It’s great to see that Fujitsu managed to pack a 14-inch display in just 4-lb, total weight. The secret is the use of LED backlights technology instead of fluorescent tubes that not only makes a display weight less but also thinner and consumes less power.

Another one in favor of the screen is the Fujitsu’s CrystalView technology with great colors, richer and sharper image details.

The air circulation technology that Fujitsu is great because it helped keeping the temperature around 85 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s like 30 Celsius) across the base and palm rests.

Last thing. A decent battery life, thanks to the low voltage processors and the LED display.

Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 CONs

I’ll start with the keyboard. I appreciate the fact that it’s a full-sized keyboard but the keys are not that great to use. They’re very weak, there’s no resistance when you press them. Next on the list, the speakers. Also weak and if you need to have a conference call with your partners you won’t enjoy it.

No dedicated graphics. It depends on the business. If it’s Word processing, charts and such then you probably won’t need it, but if it involves some designing you may want one.

And I will end my list with the fact that Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 doesn’t come with an internal cellular modem (cellular broadband). It’s useful if you’re traveling and need some quick Wireless, but there’s a solution: WiFi.

All in all, this sounds like a good ultraportable laptop, but I’ll have to be honest, the price is a little steep.
