First Impressions





Notebook design is pronouncedly functional – it's a model for corporate users – and typical of the entire LIFEBOOK series. The black-and-silver case looks great, I must say.




The front panel hosts a display panel latch, Wi-Fi on/off switch, Infrared Port, and audio jacks. Because of the combined headphone/SPDIF jack, the S/PDIF cable will be placed inconveniently when plugged in. The cover of the hard drive bay is in the middle.




Most connectors are located on the back panel. From left to right:






The left side is also well populated. It hosts (in the same order):

The only rebuke – the USB port is too far and it's "gripped" between the power connector and the TV-out. If the TV-out is in use, it will not be that easy to get to the USB port.




On the right side there are only PC Card slots and the air grating of the CPU cooling system.




On the bottom there is a hard disk bay (in the central fore part), battery (on the photo to the left) and the memory module bay. The rear panel contains a docking connector.
