In the November issue of LAPTOP magazine, the Fujitsu LifeBook T4210 was named one of the top five laptops in terms of durability. In an article entitled “Laptops: Built to Last”, writer Jeffrey L. Wilson points out that “today’s notebooks are regularly used in non-traditional environments that weren’t commonplace even five years ago, such as in a car, train, or even outdoors. If you’re going to invest a chunk of your earnings in a laptop, it may as well be one that can withstand the rigors of the daily commute or the standard lumps, bumps, and spills of on-the-go use.”
The article goes on to say that “while Fujitsu doesn’t utilize a snazzy name for its umbrella of protective features, this vendor places a strong emphasis on build quality. ‘Quality and reliability are key features of the LifeBook line, which may exclude us from some of the lower brands,’ stated Paul Moore, senior director of mobile product marketing at Fujitsu, ‘Part of what the customer is purchasing when they buy a Fujitsu notebook is durability.’ The company employs a hard disk security system that includes two levels of shock mounting and data-securing G-Force accelerometers that withdraw the drive heads when the system detects a free fall, vibration, or sudden impact. Protective magnesium alloy housing safeguards the LCD and lower enclosure from impact damage.”
