LifeBook S6220: Cutting-edge Mobility

Pros: 1.65kg lightweight, swappable modular bay options, enhanced security features for data and hardware protection
Cons: resolution does not go beyond 1024 x 768 pixels

Fujitsu entices notebook users like me with LifeBook S6220's cutting-edge mobility features including a Dual Antenna wi-fi connection that allows you to efficiently access and communicate information. This allows me to access office resources anytime and almost anywhere. The LifeBook S6220's swappable modular bay options with the DVD±RW multimedia drive, which can be swapped to house a second battery, erases my worries of low-batt situations.

Its ultra-portable magnesium alloy 1.65 Kg lightweight structure and sleek-and-slim chassis lives up to its promise of total mobility without the hefty machine in my bag. This smart-looking notebook runs on Intel Centrino Mobile Technology Pentium M processor 735 1.7GHz, 512 MB DDR (expandable up to 2GB) is wrapped with light-and-dark silver matte finish alongside fashionable curves with bright 13.3” XGA TFT display that is capable of outdoor viewing.

This LifeBook S6220 features an integrated 64MB Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) video capabilities maximizing graphics video and display performance. DVMT dynamically responds to application requirement and efficiently allocates the proper amount of memory for optimal graphics and system performance.

What I liked most about the LifeBook S6220 is the massive 80GB HDD because it allows me to archive a sea of mpeg, avi, and mp3 files and Fujitsu’s unique security options features for enhanced data and hardware protection. The LifeBook S6220’s communication connectors include 2 USB 2.0, VGA (external display), RJ45 (LAN), PS/2 for keyboard/mouse extension, PC Card Type I/II, 56K V.923 modem , 4Mbps IrDA 1.1, and Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection 802.11b.

With its power-packed set of features, I would definitely recommend the Lifebook S6220 which is almost making a category of its own raising it above in the competition.
