Fujitsu Siemens PRIMEPOWER 450 Version E - SPARC64 V 1.65 GHz

Advantages: Cheap, good speakers and ATI graphics chipset, Runs cool
Disadvantages: Only runs cool because of HUGE fans so noisy, Graphics are actually awful, Bad keyboard

...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

...the house. or maybe in the back gardens, and conecting to wirless networks through this cimputer couldnt be mre simpler. This laptop is not all that great for gaming and multimedia as it only comes with 64mb of graphics which is a real down side. is fine to view HD pictures on. the laptop comes with a 15.4 inch widescreen display which isnt all that bright, fujitsu should have improved the screen quality here! the general look of the laptop isnt all that bas, although the silver scratches very easily, which is a very dowside. overall i would reconment this laptop for persons only looking to use it for personal and everynow and then use, i wouldnt recoment it to perople who are into gaming or heavy computer users....

...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
