A laptop for life

The thought of paying just one payment and having a new laptop every three years for life, may seem to be a little out of the ordinary, yet this is exactly what Fujitsu Siemens are planning with their lifebook4life scheme.

 

 

All a customer has to do is buy one laptop and then at the end of three years this will be replaced by a brand new model completely free of charge. All that a customer has to do is register the notebook within the first twenty one days of purchase and take out a lifetime warranty, which will cost around , which just cannot be bad.

Advent 5421 in the stores

Being the house brand of PC World is not always going to be the easiest job in the world, but the release of the 5421 is a cool addition to the brand, which is still managing to hold its own with the rest of the brands out there.

 

 

Being an entry level machine it is not expected to blow the socks off of the competition, but it will surprise some people in the build quality and what is under the hood. 1.86 Ghz Celeron Dual Core T1500 processor, 1024 Mb of memory, running Windows Vista. The only real problem is the battery life; it can be as low as just over an hour.

The Wheel USB hub

This is ideal for laptops as a USB port is always going to be an essential piece of kit; this is the port of ports too. It is a wheel hub that transfers data at a rate of up to 480 Mbps.

 

 

This is very important for the owners of newer laptops, small netbooks as these tend to have only one or two USB ports, and even then, they are in awkward places, which make it difficult to use a lot of the equipment that uses these ports today.
