[Review] Fujitsu Lifebook SH530

Facilities in the Upper Class
 

Although classified as lower class, this notebook offers top class facilities.
Though relatively well-known brands, Fujitsu is virtually no incentive to bring their notebook products in Indonesia because it is more focused on the European market.

But starting in 2011, they began working on the market poised homeland more serious. This is considering the potential of the mobile computer market here is big enough though it has been crammed with many players. Starting this year, Fujitsu direct even prepare some of their notebooks. One of them with the appearance of most economic models, the LifeBook SH530.
Although classified as entry-level products, Fujitsu is preparing a series SH530 with "dressed" in such a way. This makes it seem as entry-level product. Physical design only uses premium cover (available in 2 colors, namely black and red) that look quite luxurious. It still added the presence of a series of input-output ports are fairly complete.
It seems that Japanese vendors are indeed deliver products that exceed the expectations of the wearer of an economic product. But this economic assumption became faint when I discovered that touching the selling price SH530 Rp8 million figure. What are the advantages?
 Basically, the Lifebook SH530 facilities are not much different from the competitors in her class, which sold even more affordable price. But specifically on the I / O, which makes it appear there are additional complete, such as HDMI, eSATA combo port / USB (which can be used to eSATA cable or flash), until the Express Card slot is now just starting rare. Another advantage lies in the structure of the keyboard that can withstand spills of water (water spill-resistant) so it does not go into the mainboard. However, this does not mean the keyboard is water resistant.
Because of its SH530 battery capacity is only 4400 mAh (6 cell) so that the less powerful are used to linger, the notebook weighs 2 kg is included ECO mode. This mode can be activated via a combination of key presses Fn + F11. When both buttons are pressed, the system will go into energy saving mode. When this mode is active, the batteries will be capable of supplying electricity to about 4 hours. However, it should be noted that the activation of this mode will make the performance of the notebook becomes less "ferocious". However, users will still be able to the Internet or simply typing office tasks.
Given the specification (which uses Intel Core 2.4 GHz I3-370M DDR3 memory plus 2 GB and 500 GB hard drive), the performance Lifebook SH530 spelled "is" to conduct daily computing.
 Fortunately, the graphics are supported by chip-performing Radeon HD5400 bad for gaming as well as deliver high-definition movies (see comparison table). (Deny Prasetyo)
***
With all the accessories, Lifebook SH530 does offer slightly better value in entry-level class. The price is high raises major question: does this notebook is an entry-level products are priced too high or is a product that is not "sekacangan" a product developed by other competitors? You alone can judge.
 

Testing Results
 

Specifications between Glee SW9 Prolink property with SH530 Lifebook very similar and only differ in the graphics chip. Prolink using onboard graphics chip Intel 4500HD. As a result, the performance Lifebook SH530 (based Radeon HD5400) rate is more than Glee SW9. Unfortunately, although the batteries are both 6-cell, the Radeon graphics chip is more power hungry to make use of Lifebook SH530 becomes shorter (except if the ECO mode is activated).
