Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XA 3530

blue ray/ big hard drive

runs hot if you us it on your lap

Good screen and keyboard.

Goes to sleep very quickly. Fiddly to open. No instructions.

Very easy to use

None ( Yet )

Blue-ray DVD player is great and using HDMI can output to LCD screen. Great 17" monitor, good fast performance.

Heavier than I thought it would be so not portable but that is not a problem for me.

Style - particularly the glossy white case. Large (17") wxga display

The AMD Turion Cpu would be better suited to a 64 bit version of Vista Not enough USB ports (only 3)

Keyboard big enough for "Normal" typists. easy layout of function keys. Screen big and bright enough for displaying images as well as text. The battery shut down system does not loose all the current work.

It comes with Vista which is very difficult to use.. ( In spite of what Ms says) It has preloaded Ms Office which insists on opening when you look at a document, even if you do not want it to. It requires a clear space underneath for cooling.

Clean lines, fast & easy to use. Good bright screen, HDD and memory sizes are excellent

Only 3 USB ports posiitioned awkwardley close together on the right side. Some USB attachmens clash making an external hub necessary.
