I got the Amilo Pro 2030 from my insurance company due to my old one being damaged. Once I was told what model I would get as a replacement I was unsure and sceptical about it. I looked it up on the internet and read some information about it. I was impressed about the spec (from website):
As you can see, for the price of under 400 pounds I was very impressed. When I got the laptop I was even more impressed by the feel and build quality. It felt solid and not flimsy like other lower price bracket models. I also got a USB floppy disk drive which is really handy.
This laptop also has the Intel (doom doom doom doom : intel tune) Celeron M chip in it which means it comes wireless ready. Unfortunately I haven't had chance to use this function yet.
The screen is a really good size at 15" and is crisp and clear. The one main draw back is with the batteries life. The problem I have found and I have been told that this happens to all batteries, if you use your laptop with it plugged into the mains it trickle charges the battery, but this actually reduces the batteries life. The advice I have been given is to either fill the battery up completely or drain it completely and take it out of the computer. Then use it direct from the mains and only use the battery when needed.
Overall this is a fantastic entry level machine and would not look out of place at home or in the office.
