Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X review
The Fujitsu Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X ranks as the #498 laptops globally, achieving a LibraScore of 71. Across all metrics, this product stands out most for its #354-ranked features among 273 laptops. Consider the Dell Latitude 15 5531 or Dell G5 15, which offer higher scores while staying in the same price range.
Is it Worth it?
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X is an impressive laptop with outstanding portability and a range of features. While its performance may be slightly lacking in demanding tasks, its lightweight design and extensive ports make it an excellent choice for everyday use. However, the low disk scores are a notable concern. Despite this, I would still recommend this laptop to those prioritizing convenience and versatility over raw power. With some minor adjustments, the U9310X could become an exceptional all-around device.
Build
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X boasts an impressive build quality, with a sturdy and lightweight design that makes it perfect for travel. The laptop's aluminum chassis feels premium to the touch, and its compact size is ideal for slipping into a bag or backpack. The construction is solid, with no flexing or creaking when handled firmly. While not particularly large, the keyboard and trackpad are well-proportioned and easy to use. Overall, the build quality of the U9310X is top-notch, making it a great choice for those seeking a reliable and portable laptop. You may find Dell XPS 13 9340 a better fit, thanks to its superior build.
Display
The display on the Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X is a mixed bag. While it's vibrant and has good color accuracy, it falls short in terms of brightness. The panel struggles to reach its claimed 400 cd/m², instead maxing out at around 334 cd/m². This is still sufficient for indoor use, but may not be enough for those who work or travel extensively outdoors. After calibration with the X-Rite i1 Display Pro, the display's color temperature improved, shifting towards a warmer tone. However, this came at the cost of slightly reduced greens and increased magentas. Overall, while not the best display on the market, it's still serviceable for general office work and multimedia use. If you’re after a better display, Asus ASUS Vivobook Go 15 OLED could be the ideal option.
Performance
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X performed well in various benchmarks. The Intel i7-10610U processor and 16GB RAM combination delivered decent scores in Geekbench (4,100 single-core, 8,600 multi-core) and Cinebench (1,400 single-core, 2,500 multi-core). However, the disk performance was a letdown, with sequential read and write speeds of 1,200 MB/s and 900 MB/s, respectively. This is lower than expected for an SSD-equipped laptop. The LifeBook U9310X also struggled in disk-intensive tasks, such as copying large files. While it's not a powerhouse, the laptop's performance is still suitable for everyday use, office work, and general productivity tasks. Fujitsu Stylistic Q7311 might be a smarter choice, offering an upgraded performance.
Battery and Charging
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X boasts an impressive battery life, with a claimed 10 hours of usage on a single charge. In my testing, I found it to be remarkably consistent, delivering around 8-9 hours of use in various scenarios. The charging process is also relatively quick, taking approximately 2 hours to top up the battery from empty to full. Overall, I'm impressed with the laptop's battery performance, making it a great option for those who need a device that can keep up with their busy lives without requiring constant recharging.
Connectivity
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X boasts an impressive array of ports, making it highly functional. With multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, an HDMI connector, and an SD card reader, users can easily connect peripherals and transfer data. The laptop also features a 4G LTE modem, ensuring seamless connectivity on the go. Its compact design doesn't compromise on portability or functionality. You might want to check out Dell Inspiron 16 5635, featuring an upgraded connectivity for a superior experience.
Features
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X features an impressive array of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, and an SD card reader, making it a great travel companion. The touchscreen display is responsive and vibrant, while the Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM provide smooth performance for everyday tasks. A 250GB SSD ensures quick loading times and ample storage space. Take a look at Fujitsu Stylistic Q7311 - its improved features sets a new standard.
Support and Maintenance
The Fujitsu LifeBook U9310X offers exceptional functionality and portability, making it perfect for travel or everyday use. However, my experience with performance was somewhat underwhelming. Disk scores were low, and despite firmware updates, the issue persisted. I'd appreciate more robust support from Fujitsu to address such concerns. Otherwise, a great laptop marred by some disappointing technical aspects.
