Fujitsu LifeBook S6510 Lightens Up

Fujitsu keeps rolling out new LifeBook configurations, today announcing a new LifeBook S6510 ultra-portable notebook, featuring 14-inch widescreen display and thinner, lighter components bringing the unit’s total weight down to 3.7 pounds.

“Fujitsu is known for delivering cutting edge mobile computers and is focused on providing solutions for everyday use that can pass the test of the traveling executive,” said Fujitsu’s director of mobile product marketing Paul Moore, in a statement. “The LifeBook S6510 notebook delivers maximum display real estate in an exceedingly small footprint and eliminates the need to compromise weight for the advantages of a full-sized screen.”

Apple’s big M3 MacBook event could be in danger
Apple CEO Tim Cook looks at a display of brand new redesigned MacBook Air laptop during the WWDC22

We’re only about a couple weeks or so out from Apple’s September event, where the company will unveil its iPhone 15 and a slate of brand new Apple Watches. But if you’re holding out for a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, don’t get your hopes up -- these laptops, which are rumored to be outfitted with one of the most significant chip upgrades in years, aren’t expected to come until October.

According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the show will be the first time the public casts eyes on the iPhone 15 range, as well as the Apple Watch Series 9 (and potentially a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra).

Looking forward to getting a new MacBook in the next year or so? You might have to wait longer than expected, as Apple chip supplier TSMC is reportedly struggling to get enough skilled workers for its forthcoming Arizona factory. That could mean we see serious shortages of Apple laptops and a struggle to get hold of stock.

The bad news comes from The Wall Street Journal. According to the outlet, TSMC has said that “people with expertise erecting semiconductor facilities were in short supply in the U.S.” As a result, the Arizona factory “would miss its target of starting mass production next year.”
