Advantages: A really good computer, a media centre pc, so its perfect for anything
Disadvantages: none

I have one of these and have connected a Topfield TF5800 PVR to it, so now it has freeview. I have also connected a VCR and a PS2 to it.

Advantages: More than just a PC
Disadvantages: The screen could be a little bigger

...different. To describe the Sony M-1 is kind of difficult it has an LCD screen that is fixed to the base unit; also attached to that base unit is a flop down keyboard, two very good speakers and a sub woofer. Fold the keyboard flat against the screen and you have a unit roughly 1 and ½ foot long by 7 inches deep. When I first switched the PC on it went through the usual set up format that you go through with any windows operated PC. Once installed, ...
...screen, its fitted with the Sony X BLACK style screen, this makes dark colours look amazing, in fact everything looks great on it. The room that I have my PC in is frequently filled with sunlight and the screen seldom gets to the stage that I cannot see it. The mouse is an optical one, so I can run it across almost anything. It responds a lot better than a standard mouse, a subject of consistent annoyance to me. Yes two years on and the mouse is ... Read review

Advantages: Compact yet powerful. Excellent for MultiMedia
Disadvantages: Not really a gaming machine. No in-built wireless

...To be honest i think Sony have made these wireless more to complement the cool design of the PCV-V1 rather than for any practical reasons. A remote control is included which can be used to launch and operate the various multimedia functions remotely. It is a cool accessory and is great if you're watching a DVD or listening to music but again im not 100% convinced it is necessary Most of the sockets 2xUSB, firewire, ethernet, ariel-in etc are located ...
...of the PCV-V1 on the Sony website. The right hand side of the unit contains the CD/DVD player/burner and the power switch. The power switch glows a cool green or yellow depending on wether the machine is on or in standby. It looks great in the dark and is a nice touch. The CD/DVD unit is one of those external loading ones that when pressed pops-out of the machine allowing you to insert cd's or dvd's. Once loaded you then push the tray back in. ... 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).
