Fujitsu AMILO M 1425

Advantages: Good quality, reasonable price
Disadvantages: --

...I purchased this after a recommendation from a friend, and I was quite impressed with it, it certainly lives up to it’s sales pitch. Look You can’t go wrong with sleek, black and stylish (unless you’re in a Monty Python movie), and the Fujitsu Siemens AMILO L 3220t (why can’t things like this just be called Fred or something?) pulls this look off really well. It fits with almost any computer hardware set. It is of a reasonable size and is not too bulky (4 kg) but doesn’t have you squinting to see the screen (22 in). Function It provides a smooth, clear visual output and was very easy to set up, the integrated speakers provided a reasonable volume and clear sound, it does everything you would expect of a monitor well, but unfortunately all my efforts to teach it dog tricks have failed miserably.

...Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi 2528 This is the Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Xi 2528. It is a laptop designed for entertainment purposes whilst still being very cheap in price.

The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 3gb which is... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight but good size, very sleek, reliable, good hardware compatability with other OS's, good battery life
Disadvantages: No parallel/serial port (but its 2006 and you can buy USB adapters for those)

...After owning just about every make of laptop over the years, this is the first that I have really truly liked. A sturdy but lightweight laptop, with a very decent screen and very useable keyboard. The specifications were what I thought very good for the price I paid, and after running performance tests I was delighted to find that the laptop outran my carefully built and tuned P4/2.4Ghz desktop by factors of almost 3:1. The DVD/RW drive has survived almost 6 months of intense use, the internal wifi seems to have excellent range, and the hardware is compatible with linux without any difficulties (which was my main concern as i'm not too good at configuring linux yet :-). One handy feature is the "fan" button near the keyboard. Pressing this puts emphasis on keeping the CPU running as fast as possible without turning the fan up to high... Read review
