Might be a bit too big to hold up to your head and make a call...

"So, there’s no doubt that this notebook sports the most impressive array of connection options I’ve ever seen, but what’s the rest of the spec like? Well when I said that it was easy to see why this machine sits at the top of the Fujitsu-Siemens range, I meant it and the rest of the specification is every bit as impressive as the connectivity. For a start, this is the first Fujitsu-Siemens notebook that I’ve seen with a Core Duo chip inside, but more importantly, this is the first notebook I’ve seen with the top of the range Core Duo processor. Driving the E8210 is a T2600 Core Duo CPU, which ticks over at 2.16GHz – that’s an impressive amount of processing power for a notebook.

The Core Duo chip means that some serious multi-tasking is on the menu, but you’re going to need a decent amount of memory to get the most out of all those applications running concurrently. Thankfully Fujitsu-Siemens is well aware of this and has included a generous complement of RAM, 2GB to be precise, in a dual channel configuration. Storage is well catered for with an 80GB 5400rpm hard drive, while the DVD writer lets you back up important data. Graphics are handled by an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, which is better than the integrated Intel graphics on the lower end models, but you're still not going to be playing the latest games. That said, this machine isn't really aimed at gamers."
