Hwy, this is a new vid, so I figured you might see this. I just wanted to say hi and for you to have a good day.
@Psivewri you were recently on a Polish youtubers channel (zmaslo) because he decided to copy u and use eucalyptus oil
You've reminded me of my childhood. *RuneScape!* 😀
Great video
Yep
Remember kids, there are no kangaroos in austria.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes

Did y'all grill them all? I've heard they are super tasty.

fujitsu was the best laptop brand, pretty reliable and made really good laptops for enterprises
Rodrigo i agree with you, my aunt still has a 15 year old fujitsu amilo a1667g still working, with original transponting case
I still have a fuijtsu siemens amilo pro v2085 with win7. Don't use it anymore but it's good for what it is
@@llbrkvb I would have said max out the ram, throw in a cheap 120GB SSD, and install Linux on that sucker, and watch it fly, but many distros have dropped 32Bit support which is all the Pentium M in that laptop supports. Manjaro has a 32bit build with XFCE DE, but I'm honestly not sure how much longer the community will support it.
You're right! especially combining with Siemens, very high quality...
My current laptop is a Fujitsu one. It's probably the best laptop I've had so far.
That removable dust filter; On EVERY laptop please! Really practical laptop to have laying around.
And a CPU you can get at without disassembling the whole computer.
I really need to buy some eucalyptus oil
Donny ah yes, australian juice
Buy too much and you might get invaded by America
@@Roxxie0Ruin We can smell a drop of oil from a continent away, don't tempt us!
;)))))
"Have you ever seen anyone use a new Fujitsu laptop" Yes, they're extremely popular in Japan...
i had a fujitsu lifebook that looked the same as that one he uses here. I bought it new in singapore around 2005 or so IIRC. it was brilliant (until i killed with viruses from using P2P sharing).
@@joefarang technically not killing it just ruining the winows install
@@RainyBass maybe some of the viruses were the ones that infect your bios or boot sector
I have a broken Fujitsu LifeBook that came with 98/2000, and a working Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro dualbooting with 7 and XP
I was using an Lifebook E8020 backthen and now E743 as daily driver with screen, CPU, RAM, SSD and wifi upgraded (yes, I have wifi 6 on this) and am planing to use it for a longer time.

Seeing Windows 7's aero glass interface makes me wanna install it again! Edit: I installed it on a VM sometime ago. And I just realized that task manager had no icons on it. On 10 you can see individual app icons for each process. I just got soo used 10's features that I forget about 7's. Ideally I'd like to install this on a used laptop someday, but a VM will do for now.
Louis Cui you can do it just get a good antivirus
yeah its worth it
That is why i hate windows 10, it has no Windows Aero
I am runing my pc in windows 7
NAAN HINDUSTANI GAMER i have been using windows 10 for about 2 years for my gaming rig, and recently I installed windows 7 ultimate (I got the key and download link off free lol) and I will never use 10 again
Me: Mom, can we get a gaming laptop? Mom: No we have a gaming laptop at home Gaming laptop at home:
That laptop better that mine
it makes me sad that a 2008 laptop is cooler than my 2018 one
Me:Mom, can i comment on this? Mom:No, this comment is overrused. Overused meme:

Fujitsu machines are really good products, I've been using one of their older desktop PCs for years and upgraded it over time when it was absolutely necessary. It's very nice seeing them get a bit more recognition on KZhead!

I'm using a Japanese computer brand - Mouse. Actually, i'm really love and impress about Japanese laptop. It's really durable and long life cycle!!
@@0w3nn yeah I mean what is the purpose of removing ports? I have no idea. These things should scream production value and portability, but now it is just portability. Like what can I do with just some type C ports??
@@0w3nn yeah and even headphone jacks are important as of now. I simply can't understand the concept behind companies removing ports. It is not even eco-friendly!
Great video. Love how you make "old" tech usable again
Seeing old hardware renewed like this is my new drug.
I am in austria right now! Cool video and interesting as always! Keep up the high quality and have a nice day! :-)
Ahh~ the joys of seeing a native English person using a computer with an OS set to German :D Always fun when you as the person watching can understand it while the reviewer doesn't (no offense). But I really enjoy the fact that Fujitsu/Siemens laptops too have docking stations. I use my ThinkPads with those all the time and don't want to miss those anymore.
I believe with a knowledge of an operating system and the ability to spot cognates in the other language, it probably isn't that hard for an experienced IT person to work with an OS their familiar with in a language related in some way to their own. In this case, English is a Germanic language so there are plenty of cognates. Plus German is a synthetic language so you have the extra advantage of breaking words down into parts whose meaning you can guess.
I've just dicovered you channel and after 3 videos i've subscribed. Keep up the good work!!
Siemens?? like the company that programs almost every piece of machinery? Siemens made the software that runs the doughnut machine at my old work and my college teaches with their equipment.
They are huge i kno
@WillieJPerch2003 here in Germany much tec is from Siemens. Mainly big machines and traines, in the past many PCs, laptops and mobile phones (my dad had one )
siemens that makes urinals
We used to have a Siemens phone from 2004. I thought it's "Sai-mens" at first but it's "See-mens" 😂😂
@@TheJan1101Aside from PLCs, Siemens is also a big name in medical equipment manufacturing. They are manufacturing: CT scanners/ultrasound/MRI/X-rays/patient monitors (which was taken over by Dräger).

I really like your videos on laptops. Please keep making more laptop review and repair videos.
I love this videos with old laptops.

I was gonna comment that lol

That's what I was thinking XD
Nice 69
I love those Penryn laptops, so much so that I have 3 now, a Dell with a T9600, an HP with a P8700 and a Philco with a Pentiun T4500. I have used Windows 7, Windows 10 and Linux on them, and, in my experience Windows 10 only worked well with an SSD, with a Hard drive I had my best experience with Linux. About games, any game released up to 2005 that I tried was playable with this GMA graphics, I wouldn't recommend anything newer though. P.s: I only discovered your channel recently, but have watched many of your videos already, I really like your content, keep up the good work mate, cheers!
Watched the video on a Dell Inspiron 1545 that I've dropped a T9900 and an SSD into. It turns 10 this month.
Acer 6930 w/ T9400 and 1TB HDD here. Runs great, but that's to be expected from a 1GB 9600GT.
Does that HP with a P8700 happen to be a CQ61 or something similar? I have a HP CQ61 with a P8700 that runs great as well
I swear your videos bring out my nerdy side. I love seeing you fix stuff, we seriously take our tech for granted.
Wow love how this machine is so easy to access.
It's beautiful. This came out the year I graduated high school. It's amazing it runs Windows 10 so well.

Not like every other Windows 7 PC says exactly that when you power it on..
@a • 2009 years ago it's in the passive. It means 'Windows is being started up'. They use the passive voice more in German than we do.
10/10 for packaging and the accompanying letter!
I have many Fujitsu laptop, from the Lifebook S6410 very similar to the one in the video, an older E8010D with Pentium M processor and newer ones with Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors. All of them are really well build and still working like a charm.
In the U.S., Adelaide is known as where all the crazy things happen in Australia. Like the Australian Florida haha
Like what?? I live here and it doesn't seem too crazy
Liam James-Hendriks Just seems like a lot of crazy/stupid things happen in Adelaide. Much more so than anywhere else in Australia
The dust filter cleaner was simply brillantly designed. This could still being one of the only one who had this feature if any company makes it again.
Don’t u just love it when I’ve been subscribed for 2 years niw
I haven't seen a new Fujitsu laptop for some time, but they were used in enterprises and city administrations around Germany. They are quite affordable used and you pretty much pay for quality, not for brand. The build quality of those lifebooks reminds me of old school Dell and Lenovo/IBM. Amazing to see and very fun to work with.

Perfect laptop for Mint 19.3
I love 2007-2013 laptops you should make more of these
Great video as usual, and what a gorgeous laptop, and extremely well designed, speaking of which I recently came into ownership of a pristine and beautiful example of a Packard Bell EasyNote F5275 complete with genuine original charger, and even still has the original Windows CoA sticker that is easily readable, the original hard drive had just 300 hours of use on it, and zero bad sectors, best of all I got it for free. It has been upgraded with a 120GB SSD and a 2.8GHz P4 (socket 478 desktop CPU) and 2GB desktop RAM, and it absolutely flies. The only downside is the battery, it is completely screwed, and replacing it will be a challenge because it's about 18 years old and there are no replacements available that I would trust to put into such a beautiful example.
That's a nice laptop there :) Windows 10 on a Core 2 Duo lol... Most of my college's Fujitsu Core i3 desktops ran XP and were the newest PCs I used XP on! The oldest was my old Pentium II 333MHz PC with 512MB of RAM among other upgrades. One of my current retro PCs is based around a Fujitsu Siemens Euroline case and its original *Gigabyte* Socket 370 motherboard (I had to double check that they really didn't use their own Siemens-made boards but indeed that was the case - those were only sold standalone!)
I’ve ram 10 on an Athlon 64 x2 from 2006 and a single core sempron from 2009. If it can run on those, it can run on a core 2.
I bet Linux would have made this machine way more usable (also you wouldn't have had any issues with OpenGL ;))
Manjaro Budgie with maxed out ram would have been a joy for this kind of hardware. I run it on old Lenovo Thinkpads all the time, and my work computer is an old AMD Athlon II X4 @2.9Ghz with 8GB of 800Mhz DDR2 RAM, 120GB SSD/500GB HDD, IDE DVD-RW drive, AMD R7 240 2GB GPU, and it runs just fine as I type this comment on Manjaro with dual monitors, and it can even do some light gaming with STEAM for Linux installed.
@@CommodoreFan64 a couple of years ago, I had to survive on Core Solo, so I installed Lubuntu - and it even allowed me to run the calculations in R that I needed :)
@@user-xr3rb6pn9m I use to use Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Mate for years, both based on Debian/Ubuntu, but over the past couple of years with all the blunders Conical has made with Ubuntu like wanting to fully drop 32 lib support, and in a lot of ways telling the desktop consumer community who's supported them since they started to frack off, and trying to catch the attention of enterprise, then Valve, and Wine saying because of this BS, that Ubuntu is not the future of Linux, etc.. I moved off Debian/Ubuntu based distros in favor of rolling release Arch based distro like Manajaro for all my systems(It's also much easier to update the Linux Kernel, and get AMD hardware working), and for people I know who are not as tech savvy like my elder aunt, I moved her onto Neverware's Cloud Ready OS based on Chromium OS as it does all her updates in the background, and can run on some fairly low spec hardware long as you have at least 2 cores, and 4GB of RAM, it has no EOL like on official Chrome OS on say a Chromebook, Chrombox, or Chromebit which is usually around 5 years, plus it's very stable, and will get all her basic task done, with minimum tech support calls lol!
@@CommodoreFan64 btw I use Arch 😀 In all seriousness though, at this point, I am too much used to Debian-based distros to be willing to move anywhere else, and the situation with 32-bit libraries seems to be resolved for now, so, I'm pretty sure Steam will still work on Ubuntu just fine for years to come.
@@user-xr3rb6pn9m I can understand that, and I use to think that way myself for years, but last year I got fustrated with Mint/Xubuntu breaking when I tried to update to the newest kernel to get my AMD RX 560 4GB GPU to work, when in Manjaro I applied the latest kernel via Manjaro settings manager, and it just works, plus all I had to do to get extra software working(no PPA mess in terminal) was go into PaMac then preferences, click enable AUR(Arch User Repository), let it also check for updates from that, search for my software, and let Manjaro go threw it's own automatic build process for the package/packages I want. I rarely ever have to open a terminal these days.
Cool laptop! The best bit is the expandable dock.
Nice video! Thanks!

Fujitsu laptops still get used. At my dad’s old workplace (a rather well known German peripheral manufacturer) they had Fujitsu laptops for work and for home office and my university uses Fujitsu desktops in the computer labs. Fujitsu seems to specialize in computing solutions for businesses and larger institutions, quite like Dell does with for example their Optiplex lineup
I just got an old Fujitsu laptop. It's pack with things that is now on laptops today. Ahead of its time indeed.
Great video. Good to see a South Aussie tech youtuber.

Fujitsu then bought the Siemens part and they still make laptops as of this day. The fan filter port is one thing I've only seen in japanese laptops (Fujitsu, Toshiba) and it's sooo convenient!
My dad had it in his office. Maybe he still have him...
Who remember me from that Acer? Well I finally sold it
Something like removing the dust filter, easy access to components, CPU upgrades. This! This is a premium product right here! These small and simple things that make life so much easier and are so meaningful! A device that is MEANT to last as long as possible! What a wonderful laptop!

I cried when he put the SSD in it. 10 year old laptop running Windows 7 and Linux? I'd keep the original hardware. Not everything needs 16GB ram and a shiny SSD especially not 10 year old laptops. That's like changing history to me
@@aidancommenting 10 year old laptop should have 10 yr old hardware & os
@@aidancommenting Are you guys braindamaged or something?? The reason he upgrades it is to make it more usable for todays standards. I myself own a P701 which looks almost identical to this one, though being a little bit newer. I've upgraded the laptop to 8GB ram and installed a 240GB SSD in it, it literally flies now in Windows 10. Doing this doesn't require me to buy a new laptop, so it saves me money and by reclycling it also helps the enviroment a little.
Our school’s higher ups do still use Fujitsu laptops here and both our domain servers are Fujitsus
I just recently become the owner of a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E8310, i saved the poor thing before it was scrapped, i absolutely LOVE it for being my first portable Fujitsu unit, I even own a much older Siemens Nixdorf laptop as a bonus!

I remember at school in the UK in the early/mid 2000s all our computers were Fujitsu/Siemens.
I see those Fujitsu Notebooks every day. But mostly because i repair them and they are very common on businesses here in Germany. The Company startet as Nixdorf and ended as a branch of Fujitsu.
Good evening from Austria 🤗
My personal laptop is a 2007 Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro. I can tell by experience that those things were made to last. I also replaced the HDD with an SSD and it runs pretty well for a 15 yo machine.
The same Siemens built the majority of the light rail vehicles that operate in Pittsburgh. Strange to see them venture into laptops!
I still own an Amilio PRO 2000... got it in 2005... and still alive. Impressive machine
The laptop you've got there is a Fujitsu business class device, very similar in size and expansion to my daily driver (yes, daily driver) the Dell Latitude E6400. Those (the Fujitsu) are tanks and will go on forever if you treat them right with periodic maintenance and care. If I remember correctly you can outfit the Fujitsu with a CPU all the way up to a Core 2 Duo T9900 (3.06 Ghz) and the RAM up to a staggering 8GB. 4GB PC2-6400 SODIMM memory comes at a pretty steep premium, running around $35 per DIMM, but if money is no object I would say go for it. It's a trip to see 8GB on laptops this old and the performance boost you get with Windows 10 is impressive, giving you a really good idea on what the Core 2 Duo mobile platform is truly capable of (a lot, surprisingly). Also, if you want to get extra added performance, copper shim the north bridge. You'll see increased gains in overall system responsiveness under heavy workloads. Finally, if you want more screen real estate this model will take a 1440x900 panel if you decide to hunt one down. The integrated GPU isn't pushed too much harder and the picture is razor sharp.
SSDs extend the life of any machine, good tech vids here. I could make tech vids too to this extent but haven’t got the space yet. But will Do soon. Mostly in this video is basic maintenance
i had this one years ago, very nice machine
I love those old laptops, Actually I use an old travelmate 4200 with ram maxed, ssd+hdd, core 2 upgraded and linux and it works very fine
Love my T730. Made in 2010 still works like new original battery shows 0% wear after all these years.. Just installed windows 11 on it. I3 380M 8gb of Ram. Still very usable in 2022.
wow what a great laptop with that dock, fully upgraded, very cool, it would be a fun daily driver laptop with linux
I have a Fujitsu E8110 from 2006, and im still using it. It has a T7600, and 4GB of ram max. Its still fast for browsing with an SSD.
Good video :) ! Greetings from Austria ;)
I can't believe how easy component access is.
I love you for adding RuneScape to your gaming tests :D Not interested in adding RS3, too? :b

i found a good use for my old hp laptop from 2008 i enjoy messing around with windows 10 testing out various feature adding hacks to it and also like leaving it on 24hurs as a cctv recorder. but i did add ubs 3 so i can use it if needed for writing or audio listening or so . id say defo keep your old laptop as one day u may need a dvd drive or something to play old games on.
I still have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 2727 from 2007 that still works fine.
I remember when my dad worked at siemens and our whole family had these laptops! They were amazing! The siemens company went in a way different direction though
Almost every doctor/nurse at the hospital where i live used to use Fujitsu laptops. Only recently did they start getting new(er) HP touchscreen laptops
tasty looking green packaging stuff
I had one at work, using a docking station and 2 extra monitors. We slapped a SSD in there, 8 gigs of Ram and it was blazing through all the basic office/ web stuff I threw at it. It was an i5 model. Really cheap as well!
