The good: Stylish black model; low-end model is more affordable; sturdy; lightweight; added features over the S6230.
The bad: Integrated graphics; so-so battery life; impractical position of Wi-Fi switch.
The bottom line: Students who want a stylish and compact thin-and-light can turn to the LifeBook S6240.

Mediocre
Expensive, poor performance

For this pricing, having an integrated graphics seems not quite matching. The integrated graphics takes up 128MB of your RAM, and it cannot be changed! The default 512MB RAM is certainly insufficient for this notebook. The weight is not particularly light, either. There are many ultraportable notebooks that are lighter. Recommend this notebook to people who go for eye candy only and care nothing about performance and cost.

Excellent
Excellent for students working with AC socket

I've recently purchased this model and upgraded its RAM to 1GB. It was fantastic, amazing boot-up speeds, shutting down took less than 30 seconds. Buyers of this notebook are highly recommended to get that upgrade to maximize use of this notebook. Point to note, this notebook's exhaust is HOT!!! Indeed, this machine has pathetic battery lifespan; I would personally prefer the S7020 if not for its high prices. Fujitsu could work on its battery life and the chips they put into the machines, considering this model is one of their latest and it is using mediocre 730 chip instead of 770 or even 780 when Acer had been using 740 for some time.
