Advantages: 15.4" widescreen, specification

Disadvantages: noisy and hot fan

I have used quite a few laptops over the years and disliked the Fujistu Siemans L1300 for a few reasons. It's celeron processar and ram configuration was never meant to be the quickest but even compared to other budget laptops at the time and ones I have personally used it was slow. It also crashed a number of times for no apparent reason and I don't think windows xp can be entirely blamed for this.

The feature I liked was the 15.4" widescreen which was something just coming in to laptops at the time rather than the usual 15" ratio. The 60gb hard drive was also quite good for the time and along with wifi, usb 2 ports, s video out and a dvdrw drive it had a good specification.

The styling was also quite sleek with the silver and widescreen dimensions making it quite slim and comfortable to carry. Although it was not the most mobile due to it's weighty battery.

The battery life was OK but gradually got worse only getting approx. 1 hr 30 mins but the most annoying aspect was the noisy hard drive and fan which got extremely hot. It could have been faulty but other users seemed to comment on it too so either way it was a poor showing from Fujitsu.
