Fujitsu LifeBook S6520

Fujitsu pioneered the innovative SlimEdge Design when it launched its LifeBook S6510 in late 2007. Discerning users who fell under its stunning widescreen spell will be thrilled to learn that Fujitsu has maintained its technological foothold and in fact outdone itself once again. Its successor - the LifeBook S6520, instantly takes stylishness to new heights with its luminous black magnesium cover and ultra-thin profile, which opens up to unveil a fabulous 14.1” Wide SuperFine Back Light LED screen remarkably housed in a 13.3” Wide form factor. With a brightness rating of 300nits, viewers are given the ultimate viewing experience with crystal clear picture quality.

Did we forget to mention that Fujitsu’s trademark SlimEdge Design also offers an additional 12.5% active display surface to make it just perfect for watching movies on the “big screen”? Besides these screen marvels, the Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 is exceptionally light at 1.7kg^*(2) and brings with it unbelievably high mobility, thus offering professionals on the go the choice of launching two applications in a horizontal layout to benefit from optimal display space while working or of simply unwinding after a long day’s work to an incredible movie experience at a cosy café.

The LifeBook S6520 is powered by the latest refreshed Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology, while supporting the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, with an Intel® GM45 Express Chipset for wireless connection to enable both indoor or outdoor business and social activities. The Instant Converged Communication experience in the form of the built-in 1.3 Mega Pixel Web Camera and Dual Built-in Stereo Microphones also makes it a winner with instant Messaging fans.

Environment protection is of paramount importance to Fujitsu, hence the introduction of the ECO button on the Application Panel of this new laptop. Functioned to judiciously conserve energy, this ECO button will help to substantially prolong battery life. And making every activity green, the LifeBook S6520 also has a power-saving utility, which can be loaded to set up the electric power supplied to a PC card, USB ports and others.

All the same, users will be glad to know that the LifeBook S6520 offers almost 5 hours of usage with a 6-cell Li-ion 5800mAh battery and even more if we turn to its new high capacity 2500mAh bay battery for back-up. This battery can be stored in the swappable modular bay of the LifeBook S6520, which can also function with a weight saver when the optical drive is not in use. In addition, the modular bay has a Dual Layer DVD Super Multi writer to guarantee compatibility across the gamut of CD/DVD types, particularly CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM.

Are you ever worried about the security of your data? The security features of the LifeBook S6520 will put your mind at ease. Advanced security features including the Fujitsu 3D Shock Sensor, BIOS Lock, LifeBook Lock, Hard Disk Lock and an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) give you assurance that confidential data is safe from prying eyes. The essential Fingerprint Sensor grants users instant access to encrypted data with the swipe of a pre-registered fingerprint.
