Guide Review - Fujitsu LifeBook N6410
The Fujitsu LifeBook N6410 I reviewed included the optional TV tuner and remote control. This is a big notebook and best aimed at those mobile workers who need to share their work or work heavily with presentations. The 17" display makes it easy for even a medium sized group to view the display.If you have to work on a laptop for long periods of time, the larger display is a pleasure to use and easy on the eyes. It is very clear and bright, when using AC power I suggest you lower the brightness levels.
I admit I wouldn't want to carry this notebook for great distances but if you aren't a frequent long-distance traveler then this notebook makes great sense. With it there is no need for a desktop computer in your home or corporate office.
The keyboard is very comfortable, with it being full-sized you are less likely to have problems even if working for extended periods of time.
I do recommend that you don't stray too far from AC power sources, have an additional battery or other alternative power source for the LifeBook N6410.
