We like:
Quick enough CPU; plenty of memory
We don't like:
Abysmal graphics performance
CNET UK judgement:
The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 is a pretty good buy if you're after a second PC or something simple to type your essays on. It has plenty of memory, runs at a decent speed and has ample storage.

Don't let the sub-£500 price tag fool you though, the Li 1718 has an impressive specification and comes with a good software bundle. It's available in Tesco stores (next to the spuds) for £499 or online for £478 throughout August, while stocks last. Continue Reading...
