Our S752 configuration sports Intel's Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Wi-Fi adapter. This upper-range model not only supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n standards (2.4 and 5 GHz), but is also dual-stream capable. The two antennas enable gross data rates of up to 300 MBit/s. A dedicated Bluetooth 4.0 module is also built-in. As briefly mentioned at the beginning, the LifeBook can optionally be equipped with UMTS/LTE. However, the corresponding models are not yet available in some markets.

Surprisingly, Fujitsu has treated the S752 to a high-res Full HD webcam. Its picture quality stands out from the otherwise common 0.3 or 1.3 megapixel cameras. The user can take delight in a very focused and low-noise image even in poor lighting conditions. Alongside the high-end array microphone, a real high-def feeling is produced in video conferences.

Security

Being a business laptop, our test device includes a range of various security features. Among others, a fingerprint scanner and an integrated TPM module (TCG 1.2) belong to this. The LifeBook also features Intel's Anti-Theft and Computrace so that sensitive data can either be protected or preventively deleted from unauthorized eyes in case of theft.

Accessories

Besides the laptop and its battery as well as a 65 watt PSU, we also find a small pile of brochures and a total of 5 DVDs. The manufacturer includes all installation media for Windows 7 Professional (32 and 64 bit), hardware drivers and all tools in addition to the recovery partition on the hard drive - exemplary!

The operating system's installation is clean and equipped with all necessary applications ex-factory. Fujitsu also remembered to include webcam software (CyberLink YouCam) and a few useful utilities (HDD Shock Sensor). Regrettably, Norton Internet Security's virus scanner is only a 60 day trial version.

Maintenance

Two easy to open maintenance covers enable upgrading the working memory and hard drive. Only one of the two RAM banks is occupied ex-factory. The other can optionally be equipped with modules up to 8 GB. Thus, a total of 16 GB DDR3 (2x 8 GB) could be installed. The user can replace the 2.5-inch hard drive with another model or supplement it with an additional mSATA SSD. However, the corresponding slot is inside and the laptop would have to be disassembled even further.

Inserting the optionally available secondary battery is particularly easy. The optical drive can be pushed out via a lever and the empty modular bay can be equipped as desired (battery or second hard drive).

Warranty

A one year warranty is included in the purchase price of just under 700 Euros (~$925). It can be extended via additional service packs. The affordable bring-in upgrade is particularly recommendable since it only costs 55 Euros (~$72) and covers a period of 5 years. In return, the 3 year on-site service is much more expensive at 150 Euros (~$198).
