A 'Scenic' PC Anyone?
Review of Fujitsu Siemens SCENIC P300 - P4 2.66 GHz by
IG88
Advantages: Nice Colour Sceme, Would Be A Decent Home PC
Disadvantages: NOT A Gamers PC - 256mb Ram Anyone?, Smalll Hard Drive
First impresions of this PC are, ah.. good, but the case usually plays a large place in the PC we choose. Come on, whose gonna by a pink and orange PC, even if it is the fastest. Cases can be changed but it requires a bit of work and no dought a couple of injuries (insides of case are usually like razor blades. So, let's start on the case.
The case looks nice, a midi tower, and the monitor, keyboard and mouse all fit into the sceme quite well. It ... ...to by them yourselt! They 'aignt included.
Thee only really nice point about this PC is its P4 processor, which the again is only 2.66 ghz. I would have rather had a Athlon 3000+ XP and it would have still probably been cheaper.
The specs are OK but some of them just fall short of that. The PC only uses an IDE setup with no support for Serial-ATA so the hard drive will be sslllloooowwww compared to hard drvies like the Raptor (10000rpm, S-ATA). ...

The Relyable Slow Scenic
Review of Fujitsu Siemens SCENIC xSi - PIII 600 MHz by
jonshannow
Advantages: Hard working
Disadvantages: Slow
For those looking for an informed opinion, let me just give you a little of my background experience with the Scenic. I run a network which has 500 Scenic workstations. The network is spread over three sites and these workstations have rarely been switched off in four years.
Good Points:
The Scenic is robust and hard working. In the four years using the Scenic only 5 have failed. The simple and straight forward architecture makes repair and upgrade ... ...We have the Pentium II 400 and Pentium III 500 versions and all have problems with caching times. This has largely been put down to the low Wattage power supply. Also there have been a high number of functionality problems with the Matrox Graphic Adapters. Overall the Scenic is a relyable computer. If you are looking for a no frills working computer then this computer is ok. However if you are looking for a computer for any graphical work, the Scenic ...

A Sturdy Home PC
Review of Fujitsu Siemens SCENIC L - P4 2 GHz by
Charlotte288
Advantages: Hassle free
Disadvantages: Modem Problems
I have had my Fujitsu Siemens Scenic for about 21/2 years now and have found it to be reliabla and sturdy. I paid only £286.00 - a snip.
The only problem I have found is that the modem has needed to be replaced twice but at £19.99 a piece this is no biggy.
I have had other problems but they have been relating to viruses etc and nt linked to the make or model of my PC.
A great bonus of Fujitsu Siemens as a manufacturuer is that they ae well known ... ...to the Fujitsu website and every download I needed were all contained together in one easy step. All I needed to do was log on enter my model and click Downloand - easy as that. My PC is back up and running now good as new.
Highly Recommended Manufacturer ...

Not a good experience
Review of Fujitsu Siemens SCENIC xSp - PIII 550 MHz by
janjuha
Advantages: Nil
Disadvantages: A lot.
I have purchased Siemens Senic 500 PC on line through Jungle.com about 7 months ago. Within two months time period, it started giving trouble and getting chocked at its own will. Apart from other difficulties being faced one major problem was that it was not accepting installation of other softwares on it. I contacted the jungle.com and reported the poor performance of the PC and they replied that they are no more responsibile for the system and ... ...the manufacturers and their reply was quite amazing. They told that they would charge extra money for sending their Engineer for the inspection. The replacement of any par would also be my responsibility. I have to change the mother board and the whole system with an extra money. I would never recommend the system to any of my friend. I would also like to convince my friends not to purchase any PC on line specially through jungle.com They are the ...
