Fujitsu Siemens FUTRO S400 - Geode NX 1500@6W 1 GHz

Advantages: Cheap, Light, Good battery life, Great screen
Disadvantages: Meagre graphics, Sound isn't great

...I am a student, and desperately needed a new notebook after my Fujitsu Lifebook popped it's clogs at the worst time imaginable. The NX6110 was a guardian angel to me - I had all my coursework in on time thanks to it's reliability and great keyboard. But as the months wore on, I did notice it's shortcomings. The touchpad seems to lose it's sensitivity over time, as the one on my unit seemed to gain a mind of it's own by the 3rd month of ownership. The CPU fan got louder over time, probably because of a dust buildup within the heatsink assembly. The graphics, whilst they are PCI Express, do lack the power of modern ATI or NVIDIA cards. The grahpics chipset in question is the Intel 910GML, couples with the Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Scores of 3291 in 3dMark01 show that games are a figment of anyone's imagination with the NX...

Advantages: design and very qucik
Disadvantages: no webcam on there

...to be carrying around with you all day. It has few extra features, it has a built in 3 in 1 card reader which is handy, but it’s a shame to not see a built in webcam, not only because it’s a great feature, but I think it would look good on this laptop too, so that’s a shame. Well this laptop defiantly is a great looking piece of equipment which also runs very quick too, and its also very cheap at £500. I think the main reason is because it’s a Fujitsu siemens and I think if this was labelled a dell, it would certainly be at least another £100 dearer. That being said it doesn’t make it any worse quality as dells are, in fact I do prefer a lot of Fujitsu laptops over dells, so just don’t let the name put you off, ever.... Read review
