Title: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Laptops Vs Advent Post by: ShatnerPants on October 15, 2008, 10:16:45 PM What's the build quality of these things like ?
Anyone had any problems with internet connectivity or the like ? Basically I'm looking at laptops, and found a nice Sony at just about £400, a gorgeous HP for under £400, and then the Amilo Li 2735 at £350 and the Amilo Li 2727 at £330. With a spec like Brand FUJITSU SIEMENS Screen size 15 inches Screen type Widescreen Processor Intel Core 2 Duo Processor model number T5750 Processor speed 2.0 GHz Processor bus 667 MHz Processor cache 2 MB Memory (RAM) 3072 MB Storage (hard drive) 160 GB Storage (hard drive) Type SATA Operating system Windows Vista Home Premium Application software Microsoftworks Shared graphics Intel GMA X3100 256 MB Dedicated graphics No Optical drive Plays & records CDs and DVDs Lightscribe technology No S-Video output Yes VGA output Yes HDMI output No Built-in wireless networking Yes - 802.11b/g Wired networking Yes Gigabit LAN No Built-in fingerprint reader No USB 2.0 slots 4 Firewire No Media card slots No Built-in bluetooth No Built-in webcam No Built-in TV Tuner No Speakers Standard Battery life Up to 2 hours Laptop weight (kg) 2.7 kg Premier Collection No Where's the con ? Apparantly you have to switch on the wireless manually every time you fire it up. But is that a problem when you're saving £50 Any advice ( or better options ) would go down a treat.

Don't know about the wireless thing - mine's got a standard manual switch which just gets left on.....

haven't had any probs (but then i'm no techie) and i got it from Staples for £270 (without microsoft works) Title: Re: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Laptops Post by: Christo! on October 15, 2008, 10:35:56 PM I had an amilo.
From the day i got it the battery would never last more than 40mins. The sound from the speakers wasn't loud enough. After 2 years the pin where you connect the power lead to fell off then wen i got that fixed there was a loose connection between the base and monitor bit. Now after 3 years if you move or slightly tilt it then it powers off. I wouldn't recommend getting one Title: Re: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Laptops Vs Advent Post by: ShatnerPants on October 15, 2008, 11:10:37 PM Ok, what about advent stuff ?
