Overview

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S6420

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

The LifeBook S6420 combines portability, 3G support and an integrated webcam, and supports an optional second battery in the optical drive bay. Although we have a few gripes, it's a good choice for the mobile professional.

Typical price
