After sourcing around for a suitable notebook, I finally decided on the Fujitsu S6311B notebook.

Here’s the details of the notebook.

Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology
- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7200
- 2 GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 677 MHZ FSB
- Intel Pro / Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
- Intel 945 Express Chipset
Microsoft Windows Vista Business
Fingerprint Recognition Technology
2 GB DDR2 667 MHZ
120 GB SATA
Dual Layer DVD Super Multi Writer
V.92 Modem
10/100/1000Mps Gigabit Ethernet
Integrated BlueTooth
Approximately 4.5 lbs / 2 Kg
Port Replicator

I think with the current specifications, it should be one of the faster notebook available. What I like is the weight and the port replicator or docking station. Some of my USB devices were connected to the port replicator and that give me the convenience of just mounting the notebook on it without reconnecting the USB device on the notebook.

The Fujitsu notebook comes with Microsoft Business Vista installed. Thought I hear alot of buggy issues with Vista, but I think is a good time to start learning the new OS and see if I can share some of my Vista experience in this blog.

Recently I got to know about CPU-Z. A freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system.

Recently I have been shopping around for a computer laptop. I usually give advise to friends and colleagues on what type of computer to choose, however when it comes to me, it took me quite a while to decide on the brand and model simply because I’m paying for it. It does make notebook shopping difficult as there were so many brands to choose from.

In order to stay connected on the road, a lightweight notebook is one of the man criteria and it has to be less than 4.5 lbs. Before any purchase it is a good idea to do some research and review on what computer laptop is available in the market.

I found out that there are many options for the 12.1 inch LCD size laptop for that kind of weight I’m looking at. However I always feel that 12.1 inch laptops are too small a screen. The next available model will be the 13.3 inch LCD screen. There are not many manufacturers produced 13.3 inch laptops. Those brands you can find were ASUS, Apple, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Sharp and Sony.

The next option will be the battery operating time. If I’m going to stay connected on the road, battery operating life must be of next criteria. Most laptop batteries can last about 4 – 3 hours and that should be sufficient to blog at any Starbucks cafe.

I narrow down to Apple, Fujitsu and Sony and I finally choose a Fujitsu laptop computer.
