Laptops: Sony Vaio VGN-G118GN/B VS. Fujitsu LifeBook S6311

In the business world, laptop or notebooks are essential for people who need to do work while on the go. To be specific, business-class laptop has evolved into a new dimension these days. Most laptops that are designed for business use can be categorized into two portions, one which is favors portability over high-end hardware while another one focuses on delivering solid hardware performance but sacrifices mobility.

Although the specification of business-class laptop is pretty much similar than the normal laptop, the differences are smaller size, strong durability, security features, and duration of battery life. Today, two renowned notebook manufacturers recently launched their respective new models which are Sony Vaio VGN-G118GN/B and Fujitsu LifeBook S6311 will be technically reviewed in terms of hardware specification, system compatibility, benefits and drawbacks as well.

Sony Vaio VGN-G118GN/B

In the case of Sony Vaio VGN-G118GN/B, it is designed mobility over bulk. As it focuses more on portability, the Vaio weighs only at 1.15kg and it is one of the slimmest and lightest laptops out in the market. It is so light that you could practically walk around with it, holding with one hand and typing with the other. Thus, portable laptops are prone and expose to dangers such as theft or accident but the Vaio has got that covered as well.

The 12in LCD screen may be considered small as of today's standard, but it is definitely suitable for common business tasks like word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. The button layout on its keyboard is smaller due to the compact nature of the Vaio. Relatively, the design of Vaio is quite simple as it does not have any additional shortcut buttons.

The Vaio comes with a built-in hard disk protection system which is designed for nasty fall. To ensure better security, it comes with a biometric finger print reader to sign users which is located on the top left hand corner to reduce the risk of activating it by mistake. The fingerprint reader really is a good deterrent if you need to keep important documents in your laptop.
