Fujitsu has always been a big player in technology, from cameras to hard drives to computers. Their laptop computers have not become very mainstream in the United States yet, but ask anyone who has owned one and you will generally hear nothing but good things. The Lifebook N3510 represents the quality and superior design that Fujitsu tends to offer in all of its products. Besides being a practical desktop replacement, the N3510 also offers a beautiful aesthetic design that lets it stand out from most 15.4” machines. The black, semi-matte finish on the lid looks elegant and still feels solid as a rock. On the inside of that lid is the stunning Fujitsu Crystal View screen, a 15.4” WXGA LCD that puts other transreflective (glossy) displays to shame.Getting down to the guts of the N3510, Intel’s Sonoma platform powers this sexy DTR. You will find the Intel 915PM chipset coupled with a Pentium M 740 (1.73GHz, 2MB L2 Cache) on a 533MHz FSB. The 915PM chipset also requires discrete graphics, for which ATI supplied their MOBILITY RADEON X300 with 64MB of dedicated memory. As most of you know, the Sonoma platform supports the newer DDR2 memory and can operate in dual channel mode for increased memory bandwidth. To keep costs down, Fujitsu went with the PC2-3200 (400MHz) modules instead of the PC2-4200 (533MHz) that is supported by the 915PM chipset. Unfortunately Fujitsu did decide to house all of these components in a large chassis, weighing in at a hefty 7.5lbs.
