Best Buy Laptop
Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pi 3525
One of the best buy laptops recomanded for home use and gaming, god price/performance.
A member of Fujitsu-Siemens’ AMILO family, this Pi 3525-P7358 represents one part of the manufacturer’s new mid-level laptops. Its model number begins Pi because it’s based on an Intel processor, while other models, like the Pa 3553, use chips from AMD.
The version we tested featured an Intel Core 2 Duo processor P7350 running at 2 GHz with a 250 GB hard drive, but another version, the Pi 3525-014, featuring a slightly less powerful Core 2 Duo T5800 is also available.
Handling
Unlike the recent MacBooks, which go for a simplicity of design and a pared-back, minimalist look, Fujitsu-Siemens prefers a more sculpted look, with the different elements picked out in an elegant mixture of white and black. The whole thing is neat enough, but has a certain robust quality that might be a bit too masculine for some.
The keyboard doesn’t occupy all of the space available for it, which seems a shame. With so much room wasted on each side, fitting a numeric keypad would have been easy. The trackpad is also a little bit lost in all the space available, and could have been a lot larger.
A built-in webcam gives a decent image, despite a slight red tinge and a little noise. The microphone’s audio signal is affected by some background feedback which gives voices a metallic ring.
At the front of the computer, there are three mini-jacks, including one optical link, and a hybrid USB/e-SATA plug along with two regular USB ports. The video output for a second screen is only via DVI, and doesn’t include sound.
The loudspeaker is good enough to watch a movie, but the quality is a little poor and, critically, bass sounds are weak. Go for headphones instead.
