FujitsuSiemensAMILO Xi 2528
This is the FujitsuSiemensAMILO Xi 2528. It is a laptop designed for entertainment purposes whilst still being very cheap in price.
FujitsuSiemens are well known for their cheap laptops, and are also quite well known for making basic laptops and therefore don?t really have the best reputation in the market.
However that is all changing now, instead of sticking to the mold of cheap basic laptops, there branching out and are starting to make ultra portable laptops that compete with sonys, and dells whilst being a lot cheaper too. They are now also making entertainment laptops with great specifications and features that come in at just a fraction of the price of some of its competitors and the AMILO Xi 2528 is one of these.
The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 3gb which is ...
Advantages: Good specs, portable, cheap Disadvantages: Bad customer service
would send some disks that would put this right.
So I turned off the Laptop to wait for the disks which, still have not arrived 1 week later.

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 FujitsuSiemensAMILO L 3220t (why can?t things like this just be called Fred or something?) pulls this look off really well.
