Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist

Style certainly isn't the number one feature to look for in a laptop, after all the main purpose of a notebook computer is to help you get work done, but when you can combine great style with excellent functionality in a highly mobile package then you're onto something special. The Fujitsu Lifebook S6120 is the notebook computer I'm alluding to in this case. The Fujitsu Lifebook S6120 presents a sharp look with its external silver-magnesium alloy case, it's sure to turn heads, and at the same time it keeps weight down to 4.3 pounds to provide for a fantastically mobile thin and light laptop that's small enough to tuck under your arm but big enough and powerful enough to make it a highly functional and easy to use computer.
The Fujitsu S Series line of notebooks all come with a 13.3-inch XGA screen that is well backlit and provides a crisp image. The backlight can of course be adjusted, lower the brightness to save battery power like Fujitsu Lifebook C2310 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP85 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P7010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP86 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP118 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP69 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P5020 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P5010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP49 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P1030 Battery but crank it up when you're plugged in for a brilliantly lit screen. The keyboard, despite the compact size of the notebook, is big and comfortable to use. There's of course no number pad such as you'll get on much larger laptops (i.e. the desktop replacement HP ZD7000 notebook), and certain keys such as the Page Down/Up and Enter keys are compromised in size or accessibility, but in general making key strokes is a breeze and can be used as naturally as a full-size keyboard. There's no option for a pointing-stick such as you get with IBM ThinkPads -- I miss having that option but many buyers could care less. Often with thin-and-lights you'll find that the screen is scrunched down to 12.2-inches and the keyboard is somewhat cramped but with the S6120 you get a 11.5-by-9.3-by-1.3-inch machine that weighs only 4.3lb, making it a cinch to carry, and it's still comfortable to use. Another major advantage the Lifebook S has over similar notebooks in its class is that it has an internal, swappable bay. The S6120 single bay supports modular devices such as secondary optical storage drives (CD, DVD, and DVD/CD-RW), as well as a second battery. If you're on the go and need to pop in and out different modules then you'll really appreciate this feature. It's also nice just to know you can upgrade your storage drives and have the flexibility to swap in and out different media format drives.
The LifeBook S series offers a great selection of ports and slots. On the left edge of the notebook is the headphone and microphone ports, along with one Type II PC Card slot that includes an embedded smart-card reader. The smart-card reader lets you save and access sensitive info on smart cards. I'm not a very big fan of this feature, smart-cards have gained very little usage in the U.S. even though they have been out for a long time now. Europe has adopted this technology in a much larger fashion, but in my opinion this feature is wasted upon the U.S. market and it's really sort of a drawback rather than beneficial feature as it takes up space and eliminates room for such things as an SD card reader. In addition to this, to use the smart-card reader you'll have to buy a smart-card adapter (approximately $25) available through various third parties. Along the back edge, there are VGA, IrDA, 56Kbps modem, Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, a switch to turn enable or disable Wi-Fi (if you disable the Wi-Fi radio you can save battery life) and a FireWire port. The built-in FireWire that is standard in the Fujitsu S6000 series allows for blazingly fast transfer of digital media from cameras or digital video recorders onto your laptop. On the right hand side is the modular bay that can house an optical drive or backup battery.
The speakers on the Fujitsu S6120 are standard fare, nothing to write home about really though. You'll want to buy a set of decent speakers to hook up to the headphone out port if you want to hear bass and treble or have a decent volume. The volume of the speakers don't go very loud, and the louder you turn them up the more tinny they sound so it's really not recommended. I'm not saying the speakers are bad, they're actually pretty much so in line with other laptops in its class (desktop replacement notebooks tend to pay more attention to speaker quality that thin-and-light portable notebooks) but just don't expect a sound machine that you can jam to tunes on. One thing to mention related to sound on this laptop is that overall the system is very quiet. The fan is located on the left hand side and since the Lifebook tends to run pretty cool (meaning it's no bother to have it on your lap since it's not uncomfortably warm) the fan rarely kicked in but when it did it was quiet and certainly not enough to be distracting or drown out speaker sound.
