Fujitsu Siemens FUTRO C100 - C 2.8 GHz

Advantages: looks fantastic
Disadvantages: no problems so far

...Fujitsu Siemens hasn't placed a huge emphasis on style for the Scenic range. Fortunately, this isn't a big issue even now, as style usually comes fairly low on the agenda for business buyers: features, support and service should be the deciding factors, along with price and performance. The Scenic E600 has plenty of the latter, with number crunching carried out by the Hyper-Threading 2.8GHz Pentium 4, while 512MB of PC3200 memory is supplied for handling large files. Intel's Extreme Graphics 2 shares 64MB of that half-gigabyte and offers an analog D-SUB output for connecting a monitor. A 40GB Samsung hard disk should provide enough storage, but it's outshone by Dell's 120GB disk. Gigabit Ethernet is a bonus if your office network will take advantage, and it's backwards compatible with 10/100 networks in the meantime, while legacy... Read review

Advantages: cheap, easy to use ,all your internet need, good dvd rom/cd-rw
Disadvantages: quite slow on start up

...Ive had this laptop now for about a year and i havent had anything wrong with it but to be honest it isnt the best laptop in the world as it is abit slow when loading up and it could do with a bigger hard drive as it only has a 20gb. but if you only want a laptop to go the internet ,read your e-mails and to watch and burn dvds i would highly recommend it to anyone and as it is a bit old you can get one for around £149.99 which is realy cheap for a laptop which to be honest isnt that bad! and im sure if you have a look on ebay you could get one fo around £70 which would be a bargin! so if you are looking for a laptop which is cheap and does all the your internet , email and media needs you need to get yourself a Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook C1110....

...Most people looking for a laptop will have an idea that the speed of a machine in MHz or GHz will have a direct impact on performance. True, but if you take this to the extreme like a lot of people and base your buying choice on ourely speed, you may fall into the V7010s trap. The Celeron D CPU in this laptop runs at a smooth 2.53GHz, which will certainly appeal to a lot of people on paper. But be in for a surprise when you power the machine on for the first time.... To me the Fujitsu felt slower than my Compaq Armada M700 running at 1GHz with only 128MB of RAM, although both of them ran XP Home Edition. The speed is only the first shortcoming of the V7010, as you will find out shortly. Everything looks bright and rosy on paper - 40GB 'Fast' IDE Hard Disk, ATI IGP 9000 Graphics, Celeron D 2.53GHz CPU... but when you try... Read review
