Fujitsu Amilo PI 3560 & Amilo PI 3660 Notebooks Unveiled [New Amilo PI Multimedia Notebooks with GT 240M Graphics & Optional BD Drive]

Following on from having only just posted about the newly unveiled Asus UL Series ‘UnLimited’ notebooks Fujitsu have today announced two new notebooks of their own in the form of the 15.6”/16” Amilo PI 3560 and 18” Amilo PI 3660 which, in contrast to the new Asus UnLimited CULV friendly notebooks simply focus on power for maximum multimedia performance.

Billed as ‘enabling clients to experience their films, photos, social networking, and games in stunning quality on a brilliant widescreen display, whenever and wherever they want’, the new Fujitsu Amilo PI 3560 and Amilo PI 3660 both employ Intel Core 2 Duo processors paired with up to 8GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GT 240M graphics whilst, in terms of storage capacity, you’re looking as hard drives offering capacities between 320GB and 500GB. And, whilst on the subject of drives, as alluded to in the title, should you want a Blu-ray drive you have that option to (though we should stress that the BD drive is just that, an option).
