Overview

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook P7230

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

The LifeBook P7230 isn't the most stylish of ultraportables and we have a few minor niggles, but overall it performs very solidly indeed.

Typical price

£ 1100

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
