Fujitsu Siemens is working its way hard to match the likes of Dell and Acer in the entry level laptop segment. Their Amilo Pro V2010 edition might only cost £340.42+VAT at CCLonline, but it has some notable features that makes it stand out at this price like a 15-inch TFT monitor and a 802.11b/g Wireless Lan. It comes with a Celeron M 370, a 1.5GHz part, combined with 256MB memory and 40GB HDD. A secondary storage device comes in the form of a DVD combo.
Yamakawa DVD writers come back again in our daily buys. The DVR-Y08 is a 8X DVD+R/-R writer produced in partnership with Pioneer. After mail in savings, its price decreases to only $18. Cream in colour and sporting 2MB cache, it comes as a retail product.
You'll be hard pressed to get a better laptop at that price. $699 buys you an open boxed refurbished HP Pavilion ZE5715CA which is a Pentium 4 2.66GHz laptop with 512MB memory, a 40GB HDD, DVD Combo, Integrated 802.11g LAN and Modem. You also get a 15-inch TFT screen and Windows XP HE. Graphics and everything else is integrated but at that price, who cares? µ
