Fujitsu Siemens SCENIC Edition X102 - Celeron D 330 2.66 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: Flat screen, nimble keyboard, compact and tidy.
Disadvantages: Dvd drive and Cd rom drive too close together

...Having now had this for 18 months I am very pleased with it. It's compact monitor allows me more space nearby to my workstation. It's nimble keyboard allows me the freedom to word process with speed. I simply the love the flat screen and would never revert back to the old type screens. The buttons on the screen are easy to use and make perfect sense in what they do. Connection was easy - so easy I got help from my 15 year old son and together we sailed through it. This PC came with Windows XP (home version) operating system and this I simply love too. The only drawback I have is that the DVD drive and the CD-Rom drive are too close together - when wanting to use both they seem to get in the way when they open - I feel there should be a bigger space between them. But apart from that it's great!!!Quiet noise level - no distractions. Quiet... Read review

Advantages: You get to really struggle with the Mic settings.
Disadvantages: Trying to get the Mic. to work reallt takes up all your free time

...I am connected to Skype but cannot get the Microphone to work properly on my Fujitsu E8020D which is 2 weeks old as at 12 August 2006. The driver detects the Microphone being plugged in but the Mic does not work properly. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please contact me at hfester@vodamail.co.za What bothers me most is that when I contacted the company whom I bought this laptop from ( Annex in Midrand South Africa), they told me they do not offer support. So much for offering 3 YEARS warranty and they cannot even offer me support 2 weeks later. DISGUSTING. Yet the 3 identical laptops which is approx 6 months old works fine except for the 3 purchaed within the last 2 months. Please email me if anyone knows how to solve this problem. Thank you Hilton Fester +27 82 872 3399... Read review

Advantages: price
Disadvantages: doesn't work at all

...I bought this laptop as a home machine and upgraded the memory for games use. The laptop has progressively got worse, although it didn't start that great. Depsite a few professionals trying to fix the problems, the laptop crashes within 10 minutes of every use and is therefore unusable. I have followed many other similar cases on the web, and in each case a few hundred pounds has been spent with no resolution to the problems. The overheating in very short time does seem to be the most common issue. Also makes it impossible to use on the lap. What is the point of buying a machine that doesn't work? I would never buy a Fujitsu Siemens product again. I have had good service from Toshiba and HP in the past and would buy from a proper manufacturer again in the future. As well as the latest audio drivers not being supported, the audio from... Read review
