Reviews for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M6450 G

80% A small screen, but well-designed and good value for money
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
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.

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.

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).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

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.

14.10":

This display size represents a treshold between the small sizes of subnotebooks and ultrabooks and the standard-sizes of office- and multimedia laptops on the other hand. Laptops with that size are somewhat rare, nowadays.

2.3 kg:

Usually, old laptops with 14-16 inch display-diagonal weigh as much.
