The Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 is all about entertainment. It sports a glossy 15.4-inch widescreen, Windows Media Center Edition 2005, and an optional integrated TV tuner. It’s a solid effort with plenty of extras, but this notebook will cost you.

At 7.9 pounds, the Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 is nearly a pound heavier than competing 15.4-inch notebooks, which is mostly explained by the built-in TV tuner and extra A/V connections. Fujitsu wrapped the Fujitsu LifeBook N3530 in a black chassis, revealing silver accents when you open the lid. The design plays it safe compared with the HP Pavilion dv5000t, but it’s still attractive.
