Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook Laptop Review and Rating

Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook:

Fujitsu calls its display technology Crystal View and that's an understatement. It's very bright and clear. The colors on the Fujitsu C2310's 15-inch LCD are well saturated, and there's a good 140-degree viewing angle. Most good-quality desktop LCD displays are often rated between 250 and 275 nits of light output, but The Fujitsu C2310's screen is rated at 300 nits of brightness. If you want to dim the display when you're running on battery, it's easy to do directly with a button at the top of the keyboard. If you're looking for a multimedia-friendly laptop for your home or office, this one is worth a look.

The Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook looks as good with it's lid closed as it does with it open. The brushed silver case is very attractive as compared to other desktop replacement laptops. The three-spindle design means that you get a floppy disk drive, along with a DVD burner and a large 80GB hard drive. This makes the Lifebook a good candidate for a desktop replacement system for home or office use. There is no PS/2 mouse/keyboard port, but this system does have four USB 2.0 ports, so you can plug in a USB keyboard and mouse without having to add a hub.

With a 1.6GHz Pentium M processor, the Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook is fast enough for office applications. A healthy dose of 512MB of RAM memory translates into a reaction time of about one second for most everyday tasks.

The Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook doesn't have the fastest graphics with the Intel 855GM. The adapter shares system RAM instead of using dedicated video memory. Keep in mind that the 15-inch LCD has a maximum resolution of XGA (1024x768) which takes a little bit away from the Crystal View experience.

If you want to burn some home movies onto DVD or back up a lot of data, the C2310's Super-Multi DVD drive handles all three formats: DVD+/-R/RW and DVD-RAM. Fujitsu also includes a nice set of software applications for this drive. Some of the titles include Sonic's RecordNow, WinDVD player, DVD Copy2, and WinDVD Creator2 for burning and making your own video DVD's. A FireWire port makes it easy to transfer digital video from a camcorder. For digital camera owners, there's a card slot for MemoryStick or SD card flash media.

While many Pentium M-based laptops last for four hours or more, this model only gets about two hours of battery life between charges. That's below average for this CPU. Fujitsu does offer a high-capacity battery, which has twice the battery life, but that adds about $134.00 to the overal price. PRUEBA HONDA CRF 250 16. A VECES, MENOS ES MÁS

With more RAM, a larger hard drive, and a Super-Multi optical drive, the Fujitsu C2310 Lifebook is the most feature-rich notebook in the C2300 line. Anyway you look at it, it's a solid productivity machine at a reasonable price.
