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.

Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200 review
Reviews Unlike recent models in the LifeBook range, the Esprimo Mobile U9200 does not have an 'Eco' mode designed to help with power conservation. As such, it's not as 'ultraportable' as, for example, the remarkable 779g Toshiba Portege R500-10U, the...

Vista - Is It Some Sort Of Drug?
Blog I have known since the Vista disk in my Lifebook S6510 got corrupted and wouldn't boot that I would have to reload it before SP1 comes out. That all went very smoothly, and within an hour or so I was up and running with Vista in exactly the state...

A Few Minor Windows XP Glitches
Blog I've been meaning to mention a couple of odd things I have come across on my Lifebook S6510, so I'd best get it out of the way now. As I expect Vista SP1 to be available soon, and XP SP3 not long after that, I suppose I will be playing "disc jokey...

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog If it continues to go this way, what I will probably do is try loading Ubuntu on the newer Lifebook S6510, and see how it works there. Then I kept finding more and more problems, until they finally became so serious that I had to give up and go...

Wireless-N Networking And Linux
Blog I am doing this testing on my primary laptop, a Fujitsu Lifebook S6510, with a built-in Intel 4965AGN wireless adapter. With Windows XP Professional, it detects both, connects to the Wireless-N network with no problem using WPA2 security, and gives...

Wireless Network Flakiness
Blog As I mentioned a few months ago, after returning from the U.S.with my new Fujitsu Lifebook S6510, this laptop has Wireless-N networking. One was the difficulty getting Vista to connect consistently, but I wrote that off as a Vista problem, and...

Maybe Vista Really Is Getting Better
Blog This laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook S6510) has the optional 1 GB of "TurboMemory", and I can guarantee you that the previous times I ran Vista I could not see anything unusual about the suspend/resume speed.
