Two further empty RAM sockets are under the keyboard.The ventilation / cooling system is a success.The hard drive shaft accepts drives with a height of 9.5 mm.Fujitsu Stylistic ST4000P  Battery

The exceptionally successful symbiosis of high performance, low system noise, features and battery life.

A module shaft, more realistic component prices, and a firmly attached battery.Fujitsu Stylistic ST4110  Battery

That Dell was able to create such an efficient and restrained cooling system for such a high performance notebook.

We already mentioned the Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and the Fujitsu Celsius H710 in the review. Also in this class is the HP Elitebook 8560w. Even more performance is provided by 17" workstations, which can contain more powerful professional graphics chips. Celsius H910, Precision M6600, Elitebook 8760w.Fujitsu Stylistic ST4110P  Battery

Entry-Level FirePro. As the cost of mobile workstations quickly surpass a thousand Euros, cheaper alternatives are in demand. We compared AMD's entry-level FirePro V3700 to mobile solutions.Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120  Battery

Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P  Battery, At the time of writing the Celsius H710 from Fujitsu is the cheapest mobile workstation on the market. You'll get a Full HD display, 4 GB RAM, an Nvidia Quadro 1000M, and an Intel Core i5-2450 CPU for 1300 Euros. However, prices rise quickly and could become unaffordably high when somewhat more equipment or more powerful components are selected. As second-hand mobile workstations often had to work hard, many customers avoid buying such comparably cheap previous generation laptops.Fujitsu Stylistic ST4121  Battery

It's cheaper and maybe also safer to acquire a desktop model instead. Desktop graphics cards for professional users start from about 70 Euros (previous generation) and allow to swiftly, cheaply, and simply turn an existing desktop computer into a workstation. Fujitsu Stylistic ST4121P  Battery

So, there might be some money left to buy some more peripherals (or a subnotebook for the university) or something of both. We decided to test the AMD FirePro V3700, which currently sells from 72 Euros plus P & P.  Fujitsu Stylistic ST5000_D  Battery

So it is a cheap entry-level solution. The used desktop system also belongs to the lower performance range and could conform to many older computers ready for such an upgrade. An overview and further background information about professional graphics cards are available in our article "Mobile Graphics Cards for Professional Users".Fujitsu Stylistic ST5010  Battery

Our test model is a previous generation graphics card for professional users. It is based on the old RV620 graphics chip. So, it is comparable with the consumer-oriented Radeon HD 3470. Just 40 stream processors, a 64-bit memory bus, and 256 MB GDDR3 graphics memory confirm that it belongs to the entry-level range of professional graphics cards.Fujitsu Stylistic ST5010D  Battery

One thing gets obvious immediately after turning the computer on.  Fujitsu Stylistic ST5011  Battery The system noise of the test system increased from 35.4 dB(A) to 37.1 dB(A) once the AMD FirePro V3700 is built-in. This is a rather high noise level compared to many laptops. However, most desktop-style computers are placed below the desk and are thus further away from the user than their mobile competition. Nevertheless, the noise of the fan is always present.Fujitsu Stylistic ST5011D  Battery

The energy demand when idle increases tooFujitsu Stylistic ST5020  Battery. It climbs from 49.8 Watt to 62.7 Watt. In using exclusively laptop components, e.g., the power consumption of a latest revision Mac Mini is just 7.8 Watt and so clearly lower. In the Cinebench R11.5 (CPU) test the power consumption of our test system rises from 92.3 Watt to 109.8 Watt. Heaven 2.1 demands 124.4 Watt instead of 103.1 Watt. To summarize, the power consumption is a minimum of 13 Watt higher.Fujitsu Stylistic ST5020D  Battery

The results of the usual DX10 benchmarks are very disappointing. These are clearly worse than the results of current entry-level laptops. Merely 2626 points are achieved in the 3D Mark 06 and no more than 559 points in the 3D Mark Vantage 559. Fujitsu Stylistic ST5021 Battery

The result of Heaven 2.1 is 4.6 fps and thus very low. The result of the Open GL rendering of 3.4 fps is even worse. Please also compare to our comprehensive Benchmark List of Mobile Graphics Cards. This is the bitter truth, which you have to accept, when using the FirePro with its drivers optimized for professional applications. If at all, computer games are only playable under heavy restrictions.Fujitsu Stylistic ST5021D  Battery
