Advantages: Flippin' fast! Futureproofed big time, wide screen, good design Disadvantages: Price may put you off
...by respectable company partnerships of Fujitsu and Siemens, this laptop has some good quality reputable companies backing it up.
If you have read my previous reviews, you would know I am a PC lover. Therefore when I purchased this laptop, I simply had to have the best one. No cutting corners for me oh no, the full whack and then some! So that means the laptop model I am reviewing here is the fastest one your money can get. Cheaper ones are available ... ...the model name changed from Fujitsu Siemens to Tiny? Man... are they running out of suppliers in China or something?
There is faster laptop I just discovered being released by Alienware sporting hardware you woul;d only find on desktop PCs. Damn... already my 'fastest laptop' dream has been shattered... ...

Advantages: Very fast with the latest 64-bit technology and lots of features. Disadvantages: Graphics could be better for gaming, battery life could be improved.
I bought this laptop about 7 months ago because I thought it was very good value for money and also I really wanted an AMD laptop and this one was the perfect choice, as it had a 64-bit Mobile Athlon. I purchased this laptop from Comet for £700, however I have checked their website and I do not think they still stock this model, but they do however have a slighlty better Amilo model (still with a 64-bit AMD processor) but for about £80 more.
This ... ...any purpose from work to playing games. Processor:
The processor latest 64-bit technology does really show making this laptop quite fast.
Memory (RAM):
The 512Mb RAM is enough to do almost any task you want, however it is useful to know that as this laptop has a 128Mb shared graphics card that means that the graphics card uses 128Mb of your memory so you are actually only getting 384Mb of RAM to use. If you have a bit of extra money to spend you ...

Advantages: fast processor, good keyboard, good connectivity Disadvantages: poor battery life, heavy, sd card reader didnt work, dvd drive died
I have now owned this laptop for 2 and a half years, and thougt a review might benefit anyone looking at second hand models.
I initially bought this laptop for £1200 new which was a bargain considering the specs. I have put this laptop through hell for the whole two and a half years ive had it and it is still going strong. I bought it to use as a desktop replacement while i was at university, and it has been on almost constantly day and night for ... ...2 has no trouble, but you can read the other review for this information.
I am using this as my main PC along side a linux pc, and am using it to run many bits of hardware. It runs a second monitor, external hard drive, printer, USB-mouse, speakers and the TV when we need to watch downloaded tv episodes.
The laptop used to get very hot when running games, but removing the heatsink and replacing the thermal paste sorted this out. My laptop came ...

Advantages: good spec Disadvantages: sounds like there's a hamster running around in it.
I am truly disappointed with this PC. I don't know much about its performance, etc as it's been sat in its box after 30 minutes of use, and will probably never be used again.
The noise from this PC is absolutely horrendous. You need to be very hard of hearing to enjoy comfortable use of this laptop.
The noise it gives off is a constarnt scratch scratch scratch as some fan, which sounds broken turns on and off constantly.
I phoned Fujistu who said ...
