Vista - Is It Some Sort of Drug?

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P1610 review
Reviews Measuring 23.2cm by 16.7cm by 3.45-3.7cm, you almost feel you could slip the LifeBook P1610 into a pocket (you can't quite, actually). Whichever battery you choose, the LifeBook P1610 feels comfortable in the hand or the crook of an arm; it's...

Lifebook S6510 - The Saga Continues

Laptop Review - Fujitsu Lifebook S6510
Blog While it looks and feels similar to my two previous Lifebook laptops (S2110 and S6120), the difference is enormous. Although I did choose to go back to XP on my other Lifebook, so far I have not wanted or needed to do so on this one.

Blog I tried loading on a Fujitsu Lifebook S6120 (Intel Pentium-M 1.6 GHz), and while it would load and boot, it was ridiculously slow, the Aero interface wouldn't run, and there were quite a few devices that I couldn't get Vista drivers for.

Lifebook S6510 - Part 3; Networking, Software and Drivers
Blog I have continued to make good progress in moving to the new Lifebook S6510. This may turn out to be a driver problem on the Lifebook, or firmware in the Linksys router. The Lifebook S6510 seems to be a bit of a special case, just because it is so new.
