Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M3438G-75005

I Amilo this for some months now, I use every day to make music.
The particularity that motivated my choice for this device is the original prsence two hard drives 80 GB SATA (RAID configurable if the DSIR), which is appropriate to make particulirement audio, Systm and softs in the 1st and 2nd in the audio files. For a laptop is trs apprciable and quickly to carry around an external hard drive. The prsence a large screen 17 "and a powerful Pentium M750 and 1 GB of DDR2 RAM does have other lments Determines in my purchase. As against this laptop rvle is fairly bulky, heavy (4 kg) and autonomy n'excde not 2 hours, but it is sr consideration of this magnificent screen, so bright (and two SD). I think these are common inconvnients all models with catch 17 ".
At least for the music, it works nickel. I use an Mbox with 1st version, Cubase SL3 (and sometimes ProTools LE), and performance in terms of latency, power (vst and vsti) and audio tracks are lgrement suprieures those of my old tower P4 3Ghz. The running DD 5400 trs / min, but did not make m'empche mixes for groups of 30 tracks full of plugs. In addition, the Systm ventilation is unobtrusive plutt (we'll see how he does this Ragit).
Among the default, I will cite the lack of paved numrique (mandatory for Cubase, has imposed an external paved) and a keyboard that sounds a bit plastoc, and the ctrl key is a unusual place (not the board, but you get used). Other default, the speakers of the laptop are infmes, and the audio circuit Intgr use with ASIO4ALL, the headphone is clean, but sometimes gnre parasites if you connect a mixing desk (it's not systmatique). Any work to fawn seriousness, better avoid this circuit and use a real sound card.
Anyway, this laptop did not for the work I asked him, and it is a choice that I recommend (and I would do).
