In a recent issue of PC Magazine, the Fujitsu LifeBook S6510 was rated 4 out of 5 as one of the greenest desktops and laptops on the market today. In their effort to determine the most environmentally-friendly systems, PC Magazine states that “2008 will go down as the year the industry made a concerted effort to build PCs that are energy-efficient (and therefore cheaper to run) and easy to recycle. To gauge their efforts, PC Magazine has created a new suite of benchmark tests and a new seal of approval. 

“We tested laptop and desktop PCs under a series of energy-usage scenarios. Since your computer sits idle most of the time, we measured each system in the idle state, open to the desktop. We also took a reading after putting each PC into sleep mode, and another reading with the system completely off to test the power brick’s energy usage. Finally, we measured how much energy each system consumed while it was doing real work.” 

As the review states, “Don’t let the Fujitsu Lifebook S6510’s … 14-inch widescreen fool you into thinking this is a hefty business laptop. At 4 pounds, it’s definitely an ultraportable. You can reap all the benefits of a true road-warrior laptop without compromising screen real estate. Even better, no performance sacrifices were made to lower the weight. This configuration loads a standard-voltage 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 and 2GB of RAM.”
