Fujitsu AMILO Si 1520

Never let me down. works great in every situation. real laptop to take it with you. light, I just added 1 gb more of 667mhz RAM and this thing is the best money can get. This version is with windows XP though, and I am glad for that :) Intel GMA 950 graphics are not for playing NEW games but at least it is totally quiet laptop. This is also very stylish cute little pc, 12 inch is enough for the most tasks. Feels like very well built even after 2 years I had it already. Dual Core great for Office apps, Adobe light use, browsing, multimedia etc. Nice extra is DVI-out and optical sound for new ... more

My amilo s 1520 was purchased in december 2007, i bought it having bought my daughter the near identical version amilo pro 12 inch screen, in black.

As the battery was wrapped up in cardboard underneath interior ... more

Battery life: Mine lasts at least 2.5hrs. If you reduce the display brightness you can squeeze a bit more out of it though. On first charge it only lasted about an hour, but all new batteries need a few charges to reach optimum performance! The power adapter supplied measures 108mm x 47mm x 30mm (Li Shin International Enterprise Corp model 0335C2065). I don't think a much smaller supply would have the "grunt" to charge the battery. Perhaps the other buyer has the wrong AC adapter!? If you use the DVI port, A DVI to VGA converter is supplied for legacy monitors, or if you only have a VGA cable ... more
