Advantages: Good configuration options, Windows XP, quiet and fast
Disadvantages: Looks are not going to win places on many desks

Earlier this year I bought five of these for a customer. It must be said that the money was not spent on visual styling. They are not the best looking machine but they are a good package in terms of performance and value if you shop around. They are very quiet and easy to configure. I had reservations about using Vista until SP1 had come out and since most of the customer's office used Windows XP I had to look around for a PC which came with Windows ...
...then have to buy an XP licence? It was best to get around the rather basic and uninspiring design by standing the base unit under the desk on its edge rather like a slim tower. The PC was well specified with 1 GB of RAM and this worked very well with the chosen operating system, Windows XP. It also came with a DVD burner which offered good performance. In all a good performer for the office, quiet and reliable and easy to work on. I would recommend ... Read review

Advantages: graphics, works most of the time
Disadvantages: painfully slow, prone to random freezing

I first got the Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P computer around one and a half years ago. At the time the computer was vary good and suitable for our needs, however since then technology has moved on somewhat. EASE OF SETUP I was not the person to set up this computer however the family member who had set it up commented that it was the hardest computer to set up that he had ever encountered. I have recently tried to restore the computer to it's factory ...
...CONCLUSION I feel that the Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P is a below average PC with it's ups and downs, and is really suitable for only small computing tasks. I would not reccomend it generally, but it is better than nothing and it works (normally). I hope you have found this review helpful and should you require any more information please leave me a comment. ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant easy to use and you do get the windows xp disk
Disadvantages: none really

This Fujitsu computer was not that well know to us when we went looking for 2 computers. We had at the time tried to price up the components for a build and when we added the cost of Windows Xp x 2 it was a lot more, £300 more at the time, so we had to buy. The budget at the time was £1000 for 2 good computers with monitors,speakers,keybboard and mouse. Warranty would just be the normal 1 year unless we could get that included too. We had a look ...
...us about these Brand new Fujitsu Scaleo 600 systems theat had to go because of a shop re-fit. They were at rock bottom prices and within our budget. We purchased 2 FS P4 computers with 80 GB drives 2.53 CPU's and ATI graphic cards for £998 all in but without any other warranty. That was in 2003. I am now using this same FS P4 computer to write this reveiw. The scaleo in that time has been brilliant and proved 100% reliable. The back-up disks you ... Read review

Disadvantages: sometimes can be a bit slow if multitasking, front lights fail over time.

i've owned this computer for 3 years, when i bought it, it was high spec, it was to date the best computer i had used and still is too this day, which came with a huge (for the time) 250gb hard drive, 1 cdrw drive and 1 dvdrw drive plus a 5 - in 1 card reader, also it has 2usb ports at the front of the machine and an ieee 1394 input, also has inputs at the front for headphones and a microphone to go with the standard imports on the back, the soundcard ...
...to play my guitar directly through the computer, my only complaint was that there wasnt an audio in port at the front as well - it has plenty of software that comes as standard for a new user and overall is a great bargain, i beleive it sells for roughly £200 on ebay now. For a starter computer it is excellent, the fan can be a bit noisey at night but compared to my old win 98 system is really quiet, it is also a p4 3.6ghz which i beleive even 3 ... Read review
