Configuration

Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook S7010 BT is based on Intel 855GME chipset and features Pentium M 745 CPU working at the actual 1.8GHz frequency (Dothan core manufactured with 0.09micron technology). It features larger 2048KB L2 cache and 400MHz system bus. It uses Fujitsu MHT2080AH hard disk drive with 80GB storage capacity, and 5,400rpm spindle rotation speed.

The laptop features two RAM DIMM slots, one already occupied by the 512GB PC2700 DDR SDRAM module (the maximum you can install into these slots is 2048MB of memory). Both DIMM slots are located at the bottom of the notebook under a special cover, which can be opened only after you remove the fastening screws.

The integrated graphics subsystem of Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook S7010 BT laptop uses DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology), so that it can acquire dynamically from 16MB up to 64MB of memory for its specific needs at any time.

The integrated sound subsystem and built-in stereo speakers are quite sufficient for the needs of the operating system, office, gaming and multimedia applications. However, the volume level appeared quite low, which was not enough for comfortable DVD playback, for instance.

The tested laptop also features a built-in DVD-RW optical drive providing 16x CD and 4x DVD reading, 8x CD and 2x DVD rewriting, and 24x CD and 8x DVD writing speeds. The current configuration comes without the built-in floppy drive.

We were very pleased to find such communication interfaces as Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g) and Bluetooth, especially since they get more and more demanded in our wireless era, replacing numerous wires and cables. There is also a Broadcom Gigabit network adapter onboard.

The cooling solution is an irreplaceable part of any contemporary computer system. The solution used in Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook S7010 BT is pretty quiet. The only thin that drew our attention was the fact that the sensor TouchPad alongside with the surrounding surface where your hands rest got pretty warm during work. During the Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2004 benchmark we measured a few temperatures with the help of an infra-red thermometer from the most critical laptop surfaces. As a result we got the following values:

• Upper surface – 38^oC;
• Cooling system output air – 41^oC;
• Bottom surface – 42^oC.
