Fujitsu LifeBook C1320D Review

Laptop Magazine takes a look at the LifeBook C1320D from Fujitsu, and gives the $1,699 USD notebook a decent three and a half out of five on their rating scale.

Fujitsu designed the LifeBook C1320D as an affordable high-production notebook for business users. This speedy 6.4-pound system mostly succeeds, with only a few road blocks slowing it down.

A fast 2-GHz Intel Pentium M 760 processor powers the C1320D, blowing through demanding tasks like MP3 encoding, file compression, and data encryption. A full gigabyte of RAM would have been a nice complement to such a powerful CPU, but the 512MB of 533-MHz DDR2 memory installed in our test system got the job done. You can customize the C1320D with 1GB of memory for an additional $140.

The biggest drawback for this machine is the fact that it did not go with Intels wireless card, stripping it of its Centrino badge and cutting its battery life by approximately 45 minutes. To people like me, 45 minutes is the difference between watching one more television show, or writing some more pages of a story or not.
