Reviews for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M6450 G

80% A small screen, but well-designed and good value for money
Source: vnunet.com English
Bucking the trend of most notebooks here, the stout Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M6450G has a 14.1in widescreen display that offers a surprisingly high maximum resolution of 1,280 x 768. In this mode, text and Windows icons are razor sharp. Having a smaller screen has an impact on its overall weight; at 2.4kg it’s the lightest here. Nevertheless, it still manages to use an Intel Pentium M 735 (1.6GHz). which is twinned with 512MB of Ram.

Nevertheless, it still manages to use an Intel Pentium M 735 (1.6GHz). which is twinned with 512MB of Ram. It would have been good to see 1GB, as with the Elonex Prowire 153, but it still managed to score 136 in Sysmark and 1,887 in PCmark. Graphics didn’t hit the right note, either, and although the Intel i915GM chipset can share up to 192MB of system memory, it wasn’t enough to generate a decent frame rate. Scores of 237 in 3Dmark and 5.06fps in Far Cry illustrate this point.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on Mobile Intel 915GM chipset. It is the predecessor of Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The performance can be compared with the Mobile Radeon 9000 (with a 64 bit memory bus).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

14.1": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

2.3 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Fujitsu-Siemens: Fujitsu, founded 1935, is a Japanese company specializing in semiconductors, air conditioners, computers (supercomputers, personal computers, servers), telecommunications, and services, and is headquartered in Tokyo. Fujitsu employs around 160,000 people and has 500 subsidiary companies. The partnership with Siemens AG was established in 1999 in the form of Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC), one of Europe's largest IT hardware suppliers, and owned 50/50 by Fujitsu and Siemens. 2009, this cooperation was terminated, FSC ended to exist. In future, no laptops will be sold with the brand "Fujitsu-Siemens" but only "Fujitsu".

Fujitsu-Siemens reviews

76%: This rating is not convincing. It must be considered, that there exist hardly any laptops, which receive a rating below 60%. This notebook is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
