Advantages: very portable Disadvantages: quite expensive
...Fujitsusiemens have always been a bit of an underdog in the laptop market, there laptops are thought to be not as good quality of some other leading brands, and people tend to think that there cheap prices reflect the quality. This just isn’t the case at all.
Although they do make some really cheap basic laptops, they are now starting to branch out into the more professional laptop market, making portable and fast business laptops as well.
The laptop is a combination of three main colours which makes it look a lot more modern than some of its predecessors and gives it a cool edge over its rivals.
A business mans laptop that looks cool instead of boring seemed to be something acers travel mates just weren’t designed to be and I don’t think acer could ever figure out how to get this balance, fujitsu however have...
Advantages: Reliable, good for work Disadvantages: Cannot play high end games
...As always, a computer is supposed to be chosen by its owner to cater to his or her needs. In this case, the Fujitsu Tablet T4215 is catered towards work and is incapable of playing high end games. It has the tablet function, useful for taking notes (i use this a lot, mostly to doodle :D) and the keyboard at a favourable layout, meaning that all the keys are within reach and easy to press, you do not have to over stretch. The screen is smaller than laptops of other models or brands, but it is sufficient if all you are going to do is write reports and surf the net.
However, I find that the tablet screen scratches easily after you use the tablet pen on it for a while, so it is best to buy a screen protector. Other than that (and the fact that after a while it gains a lot of scratches, probably my fault), it is a good notebook...
Advantages: Good quality, reasonable price Disadvantages: --
...I purchased this after a recommendation from a friend, and I was quite impressed with
it, it certainly lives up to it?s sales pitch.
Look
You can?t go wrong with sleek, black and stylish (unless you?re in a Monty Python movie), and the FujitsuSiemens AMILO L 3220t (why can?t things like this just be called Fred or something?) pulls this look off really well. It fits with almost any computer hardware set. It is of a reasonable size and is not too bulky (4 kg) but doesn?t have you squinting to see the screen (22 in).
Function
It provides a smooth, clear visual output and was very easy to set up, the integrated speakers provided a reasonable volume and clear sound, it does everything you would expect of a monitor well, but unfortunately all my efforts to teach it dog tricks have failed miserably.
Overall...
Advantages: cheap, easy to use ,all your internet need, good dvd rom/cd-rw Disadvantages: quite slow on start up
...Ive had this laptop now for about a year and i havent had anything wrong with it but to be honest it isnt the best laptop in the world as it is abit slow when loading up and it could do with a bigger hard drive as it only has a 20gb. but if you only want a laptop to go the internet ,read your e-mails and to watch and burn dvds i would highly recommend it to anyone and as it is a bit old you can get one for around £149.99 which is realy cheap for a laptop which to be honest isnt that bad! and im sure if you have a look on ebay you could get one fo around £70 which would be a bargin! so if you are looking for a laptop which is cheap and does all the your internet , email and media needs you need to get yourself a FujitsuSiemensLifeBook C1110....
Advantages: very fast, very cheap Disadvantages: could look better
...FujitsuSiemens AMILO Xi 2528
This is the FujitsuSiemens AMILO Xi 2528. It is a laptop designed for entertainment purposes whilst still being very cheap in price.
FujitsuSiemens are well known for their cheap laptops, and are also quite well known for making basic laptops and therefore don?t really have the best reputation in the market.
However that is all changing now, instead of sticking to the mold of cheap basic laptops, there branching out and are starting to make ultra portable laptops that compete with sonys, and dells whilst being a lot cheaper too. They are now also making entertainment laptops with great specifications and features that come in at just a fraction of the price of some of its competitors and the AMILO Xi 2528 is one of these.
The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 3gb which is...
Advantages: Good specs, portable, cheap Disadvantages: Bad customer service
...would send some disks that would put this right.
So I turned off the Laptop to wait for the disks which, still have not arrived 1 week later. When I decided to turn the Laptop on again it came up with a message saying Disk Error, press any key to continue, I pressed any key and the same message was repeated several times but the Laptop would not start.
I again phoned Fujitsu/Siemens and was told that it was to be returned to Comet for refund or replacement, but that they had to have a copy of the reciept from the manager at comet to send the code needed for this to hAppen. So I had to phone Comet to get this done, this was completed the same day( Thur), but no number was sent to Comet until the following Mon, this was when I finally decided to ask for a refund.
I have not been able to asses how good this Laptop was, but can say honestly...
Advantages: Light-weight, Robust, Fast by P3 standards, slim look, soft touch keyboard Disadvantages: External Floppy Drive, Poor Speakers, PS2 port on Docking Bay only
....
The docking bay is very light and even with it connected, this laptop is still smaller and lighter than most full laptops. The docking bay has the floppy connection (which seems to have it's own sort of connector and not the usual USB), serial port, lpt prot, usb port, screen port, lan port and two PS2 ports. The actual machine without the docking bay has 2 USB ports (one on the side for mouse etc, and one on the back for modem, printer etc), sound ports (mic, speakers, line in), 56k modem, lan port, 1 PCMCIA port, screen port and infra red.
The speakers are a let down, but the sound card is excellent so if you use head phones or desktop speakers you won't be disappointed.
The DVD/CD Rom drive is reliable and fast, and to upgrade it is as simple as unplugging it.
The screen is lovely and although it may sound small, is actually the same...
...FujitsuSiemens have been making laptops for a while now, when they started making them at first I was a little sceptical of how good they would be, because they had no other previous history in designing or making laptops.
However FujitsuSiemens are now in my top list of laptops I would buy or recommend to people and probably just come in third under dell and Sony vaio laptops.
FujitsuSiemens have made quite a few different models, there has been the amilo, the esprimo, and now, the life book.
All of these 3 different models have loads of other laptops branching out to suit your needs and different price ranges so there really is a lot to choose from.
The basic concept of the life book is a simple laptop that’s easy to carry around, without compromising on performance and that has great battery life to last you...
Advantages: portability Disadvantages: hard drive space and ram, (for some).
...Fujitsu is a company that operates under the well known Siemens brand. They are now making more laptops than ever and coming out with fantastic new models of laptops all the time.
This model, the lifebook was designed and made for al those people, who for whatever needs, want a good looking laptop which is very portable to take around with them. This laptop takes in all these demands and incorporates them into its specification and fabulous build quality.
It great to see a laptop that’s not only meant for business like people, but also looks great too. This is something that the acer travel mates just never managed to get right as they always designed their laptops with one colour scheme and boring design all the time.
This laptop however has a great look to it. It kind of looks quite cube like, which in this case is very...
