The legacy of the Fujitsu LifeBook S series is one of immense popularity for these sleek powerhouse portables. Three elegantly designed LifeBook S series machines are introduced, boasting irresistible sleekness and style, and weighing less than two kilograms each for true portability. Each model shares powerful common features such as the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology, sturdy magnesium-alloy casings, an unwavering set of security features, the potentially life-saving spill-resistant keyboards, tough shock-mounted hard drives, and modern communications such as the speedy Gigabit Ethernet and naturally, high-speed integrated Wi-Fi.

Users who love entertainment on-the-go will be delighted with the LifeBook S6311 and S7111, which are equipped with one of the best SuperFine LCDs available in the market today, The LifeBook S6311 weighs barely 1.7kg* and sports a beautiful 13.3-inch display, while the 14-inch screen LifeBook S7111 weighs a mere 1.8kg*.

Both stylish notebooks are matched by first rate screen technology, featuring high brightness of 300nits and a high contrast ratio of 250:1. The built-in multimedia playback panel also allows instant control of the DVD movie you are watching, making entertainment on-the-go a true reality.

These include comprehensive multimedia functions, a built-in microphone (with a special dual-mic on the LifeBook S6311) for effortless Internet phone VoIP calls, and naturally the latest Dual Layer DVD±R optical drive to store up to 8.5G of information whenever required.

However it’s not just the elegant design or the value-added features that are built into each Fujitsu LifeBook as standard, but also our strength in providing a solid set of high-security features into each model, such as Fingerprint Recognition Technology, Trusted Platform Module compatibility, a range of user-defined passwords and more. Because of this, it is no wonder that the 1.7kg* feature-packed LifeBook S6310 is destined to be an instant hit with business users. Moreover, the all-inclusive port replicator works across the LifeBook S, E and C series, while component drivers can be shared across the newer generation of Fujitsu notebooks, resulting in a reduction in the total cost of ownership for business owners.
