Performance
The 3520 performs much like any other netbook that uses a 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU. Its relatively slow hard drive means disk-intensive applications run slightly slower than they might on some netbooks but, if you're running disk-intensive applications on something this small, you deserve what you get. The 3520 achieved a PCMark05 score of 1,488, which is in line with our expectations, and indicative of a machine that's well-suited to browsing the Web, watching the odd standard-definition video, checking emails and so on.
The 3520's battery life is poor. In the Battery Eater Classic test, its 2,200mAh battery lasted 2 hours and 3 minutes -- disappointing when you consider netbooks like the 1000HE get close to 10 hours of use.
Conclusion
There's certainly a place for the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini Ui 3520 in the netbook world -- its tiny size should appeal to those who want something smaller and lighter than the average netbook. We can't really recommend it, though. Its fiddly keyboard and mouse, and poor battery life mean it simply doesn't measure up to devices like the Samsung NC20 or Asus Eee PC 1000HE.

Good: size,style,feartures,price
Bad: Battery Life
Comment: I've had this netbook for two years and at the time of purchase it compared very well on the market. I paid £219.00 on-line. Nothing else on the market with as many features for the money. Battery life was reletively good for 18months but is now pretty much dead. At first I could get 4 hours constant use, but since the wife has used it and kept it plugged in all the time, by by batery life. The keyboard hasn't been too much of a problem but I never had anything different to compare the long term use.
