Notebook Review.com: Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi1546 Dual-Core Laptop

While the Amilo Xi1546 laptop may be a bit on the heavy side, the 1GB RAM, DVD-RW drive and ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 graphics card among other features should make for a satisfying experience with most applications available nowadays. 'The first thing that strikes you about this laptop, and may stop you from wanting it is that it's big. Very big. The 17" screen means that it's about 1.5 times as wide as a normal laptop, combined with the weight (4kg) means it's not something you can carry anywhere, or use on your lap for long periods of time. The trade off is obviously portability against performance and screen real estate.

The massive surface area behind the LCD means that firm pressure on the back of the screen causes ripples and it doesn't resist twisting very well. The base of the laptop is much more solid - but very heavy, so that while picking it up from one corner isn't easy it is well built enough to resist damage despite its weight. The silver plastic around the front looks prone to scratching if it was mistreated, but as a system that will spend most of its time on a desk and very little time being carried around there shouldn't be any problems here.'
