Fujitsu Amilo Li 3710 Laptop – A Family Take-away For Christmas
Posted on December 18, 2009
The Fujitsu Amilo Li 3710 Notebook is an ideal family laptop, that you could get home this Christmas. It is one of the highly affordable notebooks on the shelves today.
Mother can get online using wired Ethernet or WiFi, whenever she wants, to shop for grocery or vegetables or even for the Christmas shopping. Many retailers also have special offers online than in-store. Father can get his daily dose of news and current affairs as well. He can even keep in touch with old pals, via the social networks. The video-cam built into this notebook can let the whole family have face to face chats with loved ones, far flung around the globe.
The parents will definitely appreciate the spill-proof keyboard especially when there are toddlers around. And when the little one is fast asleep, they can activate the silent mode, so that the fan makes less noise. Technically speaking, the processor gets clocked down when the device is in silent mode.
The whole family could get together to catch a flick on a holiday. Slip in your DVD into the DVD drive provided, and you’ll be good to go. You can also burn content on to DVDs using the drive. The Fujitsu Amilo Li 3710 can be subjected to playing games too. There’s an Intel GMA 4500M processor taking care of the graphics. Though this is not the most powerful GPU available in the market, you can have decent gaming and multimedia with this workstation. The basic model offers just 160GB of hard drive for storage. However, inorder to store more, you can opt for even a 500GB HDD.
The 15.6″ high definition (1366 x 768 pixels) screen of this device is equipt with the BrilliantView technology, which makes for clear images and vivid colours, even when outdoors. The VGA output lets you connect to an external monitor as well. This device has HD audio with 7.1 S/PDIF too.
Transferring videos or photographs from camcorders or digital cameras for uploading can be done via the USB ports. There are 3 of them housed in this laptop. A 13-in-1 flash card reader is present too. So you can exchange media files or images and more with 13 different kinds of cards. An ExpressCard slot also accompanies the other connectors on this mobile PC.
This Windows 7 powered laptop can have either an Intel Celeron dual/solo core or Pentium dual core processor. A maximum of 4GB RAM can be housed. A 6-cell battery is packed in this 2.7kg workstation. A 3-hour life is quoted. For data intensive applications or gaming, you might end up getting something lesser.
The Fujitsu Amilo Li 3710 Laptop deals start at about £328.
Christmas List Question: Netbook or Cheap Laptop for wife
I’m planning on getting my wife either a netbook, ipad (doubtful) or cheap laptop for christmas. She would probably only use it for Hulu, Netflix, Facebook and gmail…. Should i go with a $200-300 netbook, or a $200-400 laptop…
She isn’t that tech savvy, and would be using it only via wireless up in our bedroom. Battery life isn’t too much of an issue, as she’ll be able to keep it plugged in…
I don’t have much experience with netbooks, so i don’t know if they can handle facebook, hulu, netflix, etc… probably not multi-tasking, just watching TV shows from our bedroom or checking email.
Thanks Cloud…
