FSC TARGETS STUDENTS WITH AMILO RANGE 08/08/2005

With recent studies showing that each school PC in use in the European Union is, on average, shared by as many as twenty-five pupils, the market is wide open for laptops targeted at students. As a direct response, Fujitsu-Siemens is coinciding the start of the new academic year with the release of four new additions to its Amilo range – all geared towards educational use.

Combining Intel Centrino and Mobile AMD specified systems, the latest Amilo laptops mark additions to the Amilo M, L and A series. At the top of the scale is the Amilo M7440, built around an Intel Pentium M processor with a 15-inch TFT screen.

For more discerning budgets, the Amilo L1310G and Amilo L7300 are available, both powered by Intel Celeron processors with a choice of 15-inch TFT screen or 15.4-inch widescreen panel.

Finally, providing forward compatibility is the Amilo A1645G, again utilising a 15.4-inch TFT widescreen panel, but instead built around AMD Turion technology for 64-bit compatibility.

With all laptops providing built-in recordable DVD compatibility, including dual-layer support, as well as integrated Wi-Fi, the latest Amilo systems aim to provide ample power for students on a budget. Available at the start of the school year, pricing is yet to be confirmed.
