Full review
Overall, I would recommend the Pi 1536 to anyone looking for a new laptop which doesn't cost the earth. It will happily devour multimedia/image-editing software, and even plays recent games (Half-Life 2: Episode 1 is very smooth even in native resolution of 1280x800). My model has an ATI X1400 graphics card which does the job nicely for the price.

As with most laptops these days, the screen is excellent. The wide aspect ratio is a must in my opinion, and I have started watching films on this rather than my desktop.

I found the keyboard was very good, even though I am used to a full-size keyboard. There is also a decent DVD-writer, and a multimedia card reader built-in. As far as I'm concerned, it does everything I want to do better than my overclocked P4 3.2GHz desktop PC.

The 1GB of RAM is more than adequate, and the 80GB hard drive I got is probably enough for most people. I bought an Icy Box, though, so I could use my old internal hard drives for extra storage of my extensive media collection.

There are some significant drawbacks, however. In particular, I'd recommend it more as an affordable desktop replacement, than a computer-on-the-move.

At 3.1kgs, this notebook is certainly not light. I found it was a bit too heavy to carry every day (I have to walk about a mile to Uni). If you only travel with it occasionally then it's fine, though. The other bane of travellers is battery life, and it's not good news I'm afraid. If you're watching a DVD, or playing a game you'll probably get about 1.5 hours before you run out of juice. If you're only writing e-mails or reports, then with the brightness turned down a bit you might be good for 2 hrs 15 mins or so.

Another often-ignored problem with price-conscious laptops is the build quality. Although everything is properly put together and "sturdy enough", I wouldn't trust it being dropped or even handled a bit too aggressively. The question is really whether this is important enough that you pay an extra £200 for an Apple, IBM (Lenovo), or Sony - as a Scotsman I certainly can't justify that! My main source of worry is that the plastic case flexes just a bit more than feels right, and the screen is easily twisted if you don't treat it with respect. Maybe I'm just being too picky.

One final note: if you are a musician who hopes to record music on the move, or perhaps even open a few MIDI files for reference, do not get this laptop! The on-board sound chip is great for multimedia, and handles music playback quite nicely, but unfortunately I found it wouldn't even play a MIDI file. Recording audio (using Sonar 3) resulted in too many drop-outs, and I found it to be generally poor.

The Pi 1536 is ideal if you want to do everything you would do on a desktop, Intel's core duo makes a big difference when running several apps at once. I'd give it an 8.5/10 score overall.

Review of Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pi 1536 - Core Duo T2300 1.66 GHz - 15.4" TFT by Dannyisonfire

Advantages: Ram, HDD, Sleek design, Lightweight, Top class!
Disadvantages: Don't buy from curry's!

...absolutly useless, one of the fujitsu disks was missing and I had to contact them so they could send it out to me, took best part of a month...put me off a little. I terms of a price, anything under 775 and you have grabbed yourself a bargain. The instructions and literiture that i got with the laptop was simple and easy to follow, there was a great section on tutorials that I was looking at not so long ago, great for the novice user, to get them ...
