Laptops Arena

Fujitsu Siemens has a track record of offering an enormous range of laptops with a huge choice of processors, so it's no surprise that it is backing Intel's new Core Duo processor with a vengeance.

Our review sample of the AMILO Pi 1505 sported a T2050 Core Duo that runs at 1.6GHz on a 533MHz FSB.

This is the slowest of the three dual-core options, although you could instead have a 1.8GHz Core Solo but we strongly favour the extra performance of dual core.

We got the bare minimum 512MB of DDR2 memory, although you can install up to 2GB in two modules, but despite the fairly lowly specification we found that performance in PCMark05 was very impressive, and presumably there is more to come if you opt for a faster processor.

Although the 60GB Fujitsu hard drive has a relatively small capacity its 5,400rpm spin speed contributes to the healthy performance of this laptop.
