Fujitsu S6130 Notebook Review

By Ian Bell Updated March 22, 2004

Quote from the review:

“It’s becoming quite rare these days to find a non-Centrino based notebook. Practically all newly released models are based on the Intel Centrino mobile technology. nd for good reasons too. With a Centrino notebook, you’ll get wireless connectivity, extended battery life and high performance per clock cycle. From our past reviews of Centrino based notebooks, these few factors helped explain the lopsided use of this technology in current generation notebooks.

The ‘S’ series of notebooks from Fujitsu is aimed mainly towards the corporate sector where mobile executives require a notebook that’s lightweight, has a longer battery life and with an integrated connectivity on the move. While a Centrino system allows for a smaller than normal form-factor, not all notebooks based on this system are truly sub-notebooks. Fujitsu however, has a different mindset. The Japanese notebook maker has three, namely the ‘S’, ‘B’ and the ‘P’ series in the sub-notebooks category. This meant that the bulk of notebooks coming from Fujitsu are sub-2kg, and the S6130 that we’re going to review today is one such model. “

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
