Review: Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 [Refurbished] Notebook Review
A review of a refurbished Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 Notebook has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'The Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 is a 15.4” notebook that can be considered a desktop replacement due to its above average weight. Fujitsu is known for its above-average build quality and beautiful glossy screens. Considering that I bought this notebook as refurbished, it may even be classified as a budget notebook. We will explore these aspects further in this review.
As for the build quality itself, the notebook is quite solid. There is no noticeable flex on most of the chassis. Nevertheless, the chassis has “weak” spots around where the LCD meets the body. But even the flex there is no where near the flex I have felt on Gateways and Compaqs I have played around with at Office Depot. With normal pressure, there are no ripples on the LCD, though with slightly above average pressure, you can produce ripples on the upper-right hand corner. Regarding the hinges, they are quite stiff, though if I shake the notebook a little, there is a small amount of wobbling of the LCD. The only real problem that I have with the build quality is that, although nothing seems to be moving, the chassis and hinges creak.'
