Yes, I have been playing rise of nations lately, performing like Bentley on road and finger on butter! Very smooth.

I work on photoshop and flash together at the same time on many many layers, I do experience some jerky screen but once in a blue moon.

Overall a very happy FS costumer. (So far)!

 

Strategy games do not need more gpu power,you must be tested it in doom3-wolfestein-farcry (more taking gpu power)
and what is your opinion with its screen?crystal view is cool isnt it?

u got urself an amilo a???? thats an athlon 64 lappy man.. the amilo m is the dothan one..

make sure which one you have..

 

Does anyone know what the standard hard drive speed is for this laptop? According to this post it's 7200, Ive read on another forum that it could be 4200. Fujitsu website doesnt say anything and I cant find it anywhere else.

If it is 7200rpm, the laptop seems like a really good deal as I cant find any other laptops anywhere near this price with the same spec.

Could anyone point me in the direction of some official specs?

Cheers

 

Clearday - Have you upgraded the hard drive in your laptop? if so how much did it cost? I phoned Fujitsu to get an official answer on the hard drive speed. They said they could guarantee it wouldn't be a 7200rpm drive, but it would be "between" 4200 and 5400, depending on the batch (and I guess the drives they had handy at the time!!!) I couldnt find this info anywhere on the internet!

 

I ordered myself an amilo M lastnight! hopefully it will be here in a few days.. £1066 for thr 1.7Ghz version.

80 gb hitachi 7200 rpm...

3D MARK SE 2001 : 12130...(it s an excellent result for a notebook)

the system s very stable,screen s crystal bright,3d performance is brilliant,for my opinion it s a reference notebook...
and it s 1900 euro in TURKEY market.

 

is it just me or does the Amilo M 1420 look a bit plain? its got good specs and all but i just think its a bit boring as far as looks go.

 

Plain? well this description goes what s the meaning of plain?
yes it hasnt got a nice shot when you compare with ACER Ferrari...
but I can derive and I can say "plain" yes it s business...it s elegant...an artless,conservative,more professional look when you look Acer Ferrari...anyway I dont look out a blonde...

i suppose your right, its one hell of a laptop for the price though

 

the place I ordered mine from just told me I might have to wait up to 3 weeks to get it due to high demand! I said I wanted to cancel my order then but amazingly they were able to locate one in stock and say Ill have it by tuesday!

 

could someone take some photos of theirs and post em up or email em to me or something? im just wondering if i should get one or not [ ]

 

Well I am going to add some digital photos of Amilo M 1420 in following days...and some benchmark results...



well I just used SUPER-Pi and here s the result of that ;

for 512 kb : 00:16 s
for 1mb : 00:43 s
for 2mb : 01m : 49 s

and 3dmark 2001 se result: 12445...(amazing) (settings omega drivers-with high performance and 365 core - 222 memory)
with default settings 3dmark 2001 result:10008...(amazing too)
(settings omega drivers-with high performance and 349 core - 189 memory)

Hello everyone,

First off, I am so sorry, I got myself an Amilo M, not A [8)]

I don't know about my HDD speed. Is there anyway to check it?

Yes it may look little boring to some. I really didn't care about looks when I saw its specs and price tag.

 

hey Clearday, did you take any photos of your Amilo M 1420 yet? any chance you could do them soon cos im really thinking about getting this laptop (right now its between this and the Amilo D 1845) and i just wanna see some photos of it before i make my decision. i really need photos taken by one of you guys cos i saw an Acer a few days ago that looked better in like that than in Acers photos and i just wanna see the Amilo M 1420.

 

Could you please inform me about the dvd writing capabilities of Amilo M
1420? does it write +R? -R? or both? And in what maximum speed?

Thank you

PS: Also cd-r writing speed and dvd-rom and cd-rom reading speed

 

DVD+R/RW no (-) and CD-RW

Hello gentlemen,

I am going to get you guys the picture of my Amilo M 1420 soon.

I just need to get a digital camera first. [ ]

I will borrow one from my friend soon.[ ]

If anyone out there had an option to go thin and light, would you go for Asus 12.2"(i don't knwo the model #), sony or fujitsu S 6XXX/7XXX??

Thanks

 

Oh, here is the link to Winbook

http://www.winbook.com/notebooks/w/w_overview.html

 

Hello there,

Does anyone know who the real makers, I think they call it ODMs, are for Fujitsus?

I have an Amilo A widescreen, and after quite a bit I found out that they are originally made by Mitac Computers in Taiwan.

Here is a link for those interested http://www.mitac-mtc.com.tw/Products.htm

Amilo A widescreen = Mitac 8050

How are Mitac as notebook makers?

Also, interestingly enough, I found that these notebooks ARE available in US. They are rebadged by the name of "Winbook" Series: W

Just thought I could share!

 

hey people... can anyone tell me if the AMilo m1420 trackpad has scroll features? i used a D1840 and the trackpad was niiice and fast, easy to use.

any thoughts on yours? i'm also looking at the Amilo L 1300 which is a cheaper version of the M1420, 512k cache insted of 2Mb, 64mb shared memory instead of 128Mb Radeon 9600.

can anyone suggest how much of a difference i'd find between these configurations, regarding cache and grafix?

cheers muchos
bukl

 

My M 1420 does not have scrolling track pad [ ] . wondering if there was any software I can use to customize it. [?]
