Need flexibility in the day to fulfill the duties of your job? The Fujitsu LifeBook T904 can give you what you long for, not only in terms of mobility but also in terms of power.
If one studies the body of the LifeBook T904, be easy to identify a pair of USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, a standard HDMI output and an ethernet connection. In principle, the laptop will suffice for day to day office tasks with cable Internet access, to connect an external mouse and a USB memory access photos and video from a digital camera, or even use an external monitor.
When the notebook is used to go from one place to another, the connectivity of the LifeBook T904 is more than enough, because it also features Bluetooth technology for file sharing, or Wi-Fi module to access the Internet wirelessly. But what if it’s needed to expand connectivity options to enhance the capabilities of the laptop in a traditional office environment?
The owner of the LifeBook T904 can acquire an interesting docking station, which increases the connectivity options within a space of regular work.
The idea is to keep the docking station fixed in a space, and connect to it those devices that are part of daily activity in an office: a printer for printing documents needed in paper form; a monitor that enhances visualization of content and interaction with certain applications (especially if you need to work with design tools or excel spreadsheets); a keyboard and a mouse, to enhance the experience when writing content or work with applications such as Adobe Photoshop retouching; and desktop hard drive, which probably will be used to back up or store large amounts of information.
The docking station features a DVI output and SlimPort, for professionals who already work with last generation external monitors. Although it would be viable imaging devices connected via VGA, if necessary to have less technologically advanced solutions.
On the other hand, the accessory designed by Fujitsu incorporates four additional USB 3.0 ports to ensure the fastest possible in reading and copying large files. Do you usually you work with compressed files with a weight of more than 5GB? Backups to external hard drives, depending on the amount of data, how much more will be more instantaneous data transfer capability can support the USB port and the external medium employed. The time has long, whatever the profession to which one is engaged.
The docking station of the LifeBook T904 also features a 10/100 Ethernet port for Internet access broadband available in the office. In my opinion, it is always preferable to use cable for maximum performance in access to the network, in order to enjoy a solid and consistent quality signal transfer speed boost and provide security in internal communications. Laptop power consumption is also reduced if not having it connected to the mains.
Need Internet access in the office of a client or while working remotely? In that case, the best way to establish a secure connection with online services will leverage the Sierra Wireless embedded module that allows a SIM card to connect to 3G / 4G networks.
The professional does not have to rely on the corporate network from an external company, or a public space, and simultaneously guarantees the security of business communications. Want a highly recommended device for shielding access to your files? I recommend the DataTraveler Locker + USB Kingston G3, which uses an encryption system and integrates the function of automatic backup storage services in the cloud (Box, DropBox, etc.) memory
Where is your workplace? Between the four walls of your business office or anywhere you can connect to the Internet and work remotely?
