Advantages: Authentic businesslike looks, lots of inbuilt luxuries, relatively large screen, large memory.
Disadvantages: Over-priced, low graphics capabilities.

Compact and neatly organized (Dimensions: 33.1 cm x 24.3 cm x 3.4 cm) it is excellent for both home use and professional or business work. The keyboard is of standard size, although the 14" TFT screen also supports wide screen (with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800). The portability is superb, with a relatively low weight of 2.4 kg for a laptop with this screen size the exterior is of a classically 'businesslike' design and looks comfortable in ...
...GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm hard drive makes for an impressive amount of disk storage and allows for a large 1GB of RAM. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 / 1.8 GHz ( Dual-Core ) processor used also means that this laptop is of impressive speed and power - however, I do find the noise of the processor's cooling fan annoying at times. This laptop however is not built for gaming with only an Intel GMA X3100 graphics card, watching movies or online video ... Read review

Advantages: Extremely Portable
Disadvantages: Low battery Life, No keyboard/Mouse included

...is a great product from Samsung and microsoft. I have had mine for 3 months now and love how easy it is to use. The Q1 features a touch screen and seems to recognise all of my very scruffy hand writing. I don't use the dial keys that included and would like the input panel to be transparent but these aren't big problems. Only recently have I discovered that you can teach microsoft voice to recognise your voice and let you control your operating system. ...
...muddle some words up and believes you are saying something you aren't . The Q1 only has a 900mhz cpu, 40gb hdd and 512mb screen and this may seem bad for the price but the other perks totally make up for this mistake. The Q1 also features bluetooth and a mmc card slot. You can also boot straight into av station avoiding the os to play your music, video and photos this is a feature i don't use a lot but it does let you have the functions of a laptop ... Read review

Advantages: Style Performance Wireless
Disadvantages: Reliablilty

I have been using my nc6320 for about 3 months both running win2k and Windows XP Professional. I have been very suprised by the performance of the laptop considering the previous nc6000 was extremely unreliable and prone to blue screens. To which i have received none so far. TFT Display: Is very crisp for every day office work and also play back of DVDs is good if not a little choppy at times. The display is responsive and sharp as you would expect ...
...in crystal or opening emails etc the performance is very good with hardly any hanging or dip in performance, the duo core comes in to its own here compared to previous models, partuclarly when running win2k. Upgrading and modding: The shell of the laptop makes it easy to perform any type of upgrade or repair from increasing RAM to replacing parts, First thing i did was to increase the memory which is very simple thanks to the slot of the rear of ...

Advantages: Do NOT Buy
Disadvantages: Lagging Issue

...as bad as the great Fujitsu hard drive product recall of 2002!! Known as "the Lagging Issue", the problem lies in the communication between the motherboard and the hard disk drive(s) in Fujitsu-Siemens laptops. The problem is a defect in communication between the motherboard and the hard drive that causes stuttering so bad that CDs cannot be burned and even the clock cannot keep time. It also makes an intermittent BRRRRRRrrrr noise. The problem ...
...Technology (but the Raid array doesn't seem to make any difference, so 0 or 1 is the same). This component is installed on the motherboard manufactured by Uniwill and fitted into Fujitsu-Siemens PC Notebooks such as the Amilo M1437G, Amilo M3438G, and Amilo M4438G. It is most noticeable when listening to MP3s or playing games. It doesn't seem to matter if there are one or two hard drives, what does seem to matter is the speed of the hard drive ... Read review
