Fujitsu LifeBook A6210

Versatile traveler for work and play

IF YOU NEED A NOTEBOOK suitable for both business and pleasure, the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 merit serious attention. It has all the performance and features a business user could want, plus multimedia features for life beyond work.

The A6210 has solid build quality, and while it's not especially thin, the 6.6-pound system is still plenty portable. Its full-size keyboard is spill-resistant, with a positive key action. The 15.4-inch displayis sharp and vibrant, delivering good image quality, a wide viewing angle, and a comfortable 1,280x800 native resolution. Audio quality from the built-in stereo speakers is rich and clean, but could use more top volume. We also wish Fujitsu had included media-control keys to complement its quick-launch and volume buttons.

The A6210's business features include a Webcam for videoconferencing a fingerprint reader; and Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet, and 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi for connectivity. There are HDMI and VGA ports for outputting video, four USB ports, an external SATA port for connecting external storage, a FirewWire jack, a memory card reader, and PC card and ExpressCard slots. (A Blu-ray optical drive is available as an option.) An optional ExpressCard TV tuner and remote control can turn the A6210 into a full-on home theater PC.


Equipped with a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400, 3GB of RAM, and Windows Vista Home Premium (or Business), the laptop delivered strong results on our productivity tests, and lsted 1 hours and 40 minutes on our DVD-rundown test, typical for a machine in this class. The 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics engine in our system proved adequate for casual gamers, but not for demanding 3D titles. Fujitsu backs the A6210 with a one-year warranty (expandable to three years), with 24/7 tech support. -Jamie Bsales
