Guide Review - Fujitsu N3510 Desktop Replacement Laptop
Overview
While many mobile professionals don’t consider carrying a desktop replacement laptop on their travels, the Fujistu N3510 may cause you to reconsider. The storage and connectivity options alone make it an ideal mobile laptop. The large, clear display is another great benefit, viewing and/or sharing presentations is not a problem. Another advantage is the ability to copy your presentations to CD or DVD quickly and easily.
I found that the N3510 fit into any of my laptop cases easily and even with the extra mobile accessories I normally carry, I did not find it to be an overbearing load to carry.
Making Connections:
Set-up was quick, signal strengths were strong and the connection remained steady even when I moved to different locations. While Wi-Fi is not always available, the Fujitsu provides modem and Ethernet ports, you can be sure of connecting anywhere.
Display:
The display is one of the best features of this laptop. I found that when working with Excel and Access that it enabled me to view the documents more easily and meant less scrolling.
Slideshow presentations are another area that where you’ll see benefits. You can use presentations saved to CD or DVD and use the remote to control the presentation then you don’t have to worry about blocking the display. You can also go right to a presentation without booting the OS by selecting the CD/DVD control.
Summary:
The Fujitsu N3510 is a great desktop replacement laptop that is also well suited to mobile life.
