Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO M3438G

A step down in performance and price to the Dell XPS Gen 2, the Fujitsu AMILO still makes a pretty decent gaming laptop.

It is one of only a handful of machines to have a GeForce GO 6800 graphics chipset and this one is paired with 256MB of graphics memory. The high end features don’t stop here though, as it can be fitted with a nice 1GB of DDR2 memory and a 2GHz Pentium M 760 processor.

There’s a switch on the front of the laptop to enable/disable the wireless antenna. Gigabit wired Ethernet is also part of the specifications along with a dialup 56k V90 modem. Models with up to 120GB drives are available. The optical drive is a Dual Layer DVD writer with 8x +/- R, 4x +/- RW and 2.4x Dual Layer speed. The built in speakers are helped by a small subwoofer to add that bit of extra bass to the sound, although most gamers would most likely use headphones.

The AMILO has plenty of connections with an Ethernet connector, a 4-in-1 card reader for SD, MMC, MemoryStick and MemoryStick Pro cards, a four-pin FireWire connector, four USB 2.0 ports and an ExpressCard slot. The ExpressCard slot is also the home of the included remote control with which you can control the InstantOn media playback features.
