I personally think Fujitsu Rocks, now let me tell you why:
1. I've owned two Fujitsu Scanners. They've both worked fantastically, but when I've had problems installing a driver or a question about how to use them, calling Fujitsu tech support is such a breath of fresh air. You may not believe it but you talk to someone in the USA or Canada who understands English and has had obviously good training as they always and I mean always understand the problem and give a good reliable answer. Never had to wait on hold more than 30-40 seconds either. I won't buy anything from some other manufacturers who'll be spared embarrassment from me cause getting any phone support is a complete waste of time.
2. It looks sharp. I was at a Fry's store where they have several rows of all the latest laptops and this is the one that caught my eye. Yes, the piano black top which is all the rage may get scratched over time so it will take extra care, and the pictures here really do not do it any justice. But beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I'll leave it at that.
3. Form factor. Under three pounds and about 11"x8.25"x1.35". Yes, it is twice as thick as a MacBook Air, but over an inch shorter than the MBA on every other dimension and lighter too. I don't understand the hype Apple gets with a computer with only one USB port, no optical drive, and a battery that is not easily switched out. The MBA is almost useless to most of the real world and too big for an airplane tray. The P8010 has just the right size.
4. Performance is just right. Anyone who needs very processor intensive tasks will not want this. But those who will buy this want to get email on the road, be able to hook up a GPS and get directions, Surf the Net, do some word processing, some easy spreadsheet stuff, manage their CRM (Goldmine, ACT, SaleLogix) MP3 music, watch a movie, do a Power Point presentation. This machine should handle these chores with ease. If you don't like it's horsepower at this form factor, the alternatives are limited.
