The Lifebook E8020, Fujitsu's first Sonoma-powered laptop

We hit up a bunch of new Sonoma-powered laptops yesterday, but we got tipped off to another straggler sporting Intel's next-generation Centrino chipset, Fujitsu's new Lifebook E8020. Similar to all those other ones we've mentioned from Sony, BenQ, Dell, Acer, Samsung, Toshiba, and IBM, the E8020 rocks Intel's Pentium M processor (in 1.73GHz, 2.0GHz, and 2.13GHz flavors), up to 2GB of 533MHz DDR2 RAM, up to an 80GB hard drive, a 15.1-inch LCD screen, an optional ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600 64MB graphics card, and built-in 802.11a/b/g WiFi.

P.S. - We're issuing a PDF warning on the link.

[Thanks, Dan]

Is it just me or is HP the only major vendor not to announce a new sonoma based laptop ?

BTW: Any guesses when the DELL D610 is going to be released ?

I own this laptop and it has really nice features and lots of interfaces (ports). However, it appears to have a fan bug similar to that of the IBM T4x series in that the fan is constantly running after using the laptop for a while. The fan is running just slowly when the laptop is not stressed but it is running and is definitely loud enough to be very annoying.
