  • I would go for the fujitsu out of those three - more ram than the first one, dual core and not acer - yes people like them as they are cheap but I've seen loads break. The only down side is the hd size, but unless you are going to have loads of media (films music etc) on there you should be fine. They all share the main memory for the graphics card, this will be fine for standard day to day use but not really for games. The third one also has a larger cache on the cpu than the first and uses sata for the hd - this should help the system run smoother as a whole.
  • I would agree that the Fujitsu is the best one there!!

    Fujitsu wins out of those with the battery life and the fact it runs at 533FSB.

    Pentium-M should not be running at 400FSB, it's not natural.

    Have you had a look at what Dell have to offer? For £500 you can do better than that Fujitsu :) (Inspiron 630m etc, not 1300 as it runs at 400FSB for the Pentium-M version, just like the Celeron-M)
  • I ended up with the better Acer one as there were no Fujitsu! I know I could have done better for my money, but I needed it ASAP! Oh well...
  • They have the Fujitsu in Staples!!

    There isn't one near me unfortunately - too late anyway! I'm pretty happy with it though - I had an Acer before and it lasted, so hopefully this will too! It's got a lovely screen and is much quicker than the last one I had - it will only be used for regular day to day stuff and Football manager, so hopefully it will deliver the goods!
