| 649233 | 2008-03-14 01:26:00 | Never had anything , or used anything made by Fujitsu. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 649234 | 2008-03-14 01:32:00 | Me neither, but always thought the name sounded like a cool martial art .... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 649235 | 2008-03-14 01:55:00 | Used them once or twice and from what I saw they were well made - can't say what the components inside are like though. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 649236 | 2008-03-14 02:01:00 | I'd compare them to Dell. Only parts are freaking expensive. Had a top end Lifebook - had everything, including the TV on it. HDD failed, Optical drive failed, one month out of warranty. New 160 GB HDD, new DVD RW. It was a pain in the arse tracking down who to contact to get parts too, the DVD RW was over $460 - gave it to teh poor customer at cost, it took over 2 months to get the part in, as I needed an optical drive to get the lappy up and running after changing the HDD, and it wouldn't boot from USB, and no BIOS updates or anything. An $800 bill later, it was working again...and it ran nicely - can't say I'd recommend getting one after that performance though. :groan: Oh, and he got an external (Fujitsu) HDD at the same time as his lappy - that failed too. Replaced with a Seagate, naturally. Didn't really fill me with confidence. Get an Asus if your looking for a new notebook. |

| 649238 | 2008-03-14 02:07:00 | I'm a big fan of Asus notebooks; usually my first choice and I've never had any trouble with them. And we exclusively use IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads here at work, which (other than being a bit fuggly) are really reliable too. Steer clear of Acer - pretty unreliable, and parts are hard to get. HTH |

But this: www.pcauthority.com.au Although I found another site that said how did they get that when the return rate was 29%. Which is huge in my opinion. One of my suppliers sells them, never took any notice before. |

| 649241 | 2008-03-14 09:33:00 | Only the expensive Lifebook series is commendable. The support isn't the best. My Fujitsu HDD works for 3,5 years, without problems. |
