Please Don't Get This - waste of money!

Pros: Good brand (which probably means longer life)

Cons: Fingerprint sensor very unreliable; Bulky and heavy; Touchpad too sensitive; Touch pad doesn't have up-down or left-right scrolls; No in-built mic; No in-built webcam

Review: Basically you will CERTAINLY get a better laptop with the amount of money you'll spend on this machine. I bought mine for S$2000 in Singapore. It recently got stolen by a burglar, and I haven't been very upset because the laptop was unfortunately not as much a darling as I wish it would be.
I listed a lot of cons because I would expect my laptop to have them. I bought this laptop due to a lack of research and upon discovering the cons one by one, I was terribly disappointed. It's also too heavy for its price. So please do consider another model, or brand.
The reason why I chose Fujitsu was because I know it's made in japan, and technically that means its parts should last longer, hence the expected laptop life should ideally be longer, perhaps 5 years instead of the usual 3. That's probably the only pro I can think of, which has to do with the brand more than this model.

Excellent Computer

Pros: Beautiful bright screen, well built, finger print sensor, spill resistant keyboard, quite light

Cons: Maybe the slow hard drive, although I havn't noticed it yet.

Review: This is a really, really, sexy looking computer. People will stop to admire it. The screen is gorgeous and far brighter than any other laptop i've seen. It is also surprisingly light. The computer is more than fast enough - except maybe for booting, which seems to take a while, although i have yet to compare it with other vista loaded laptops. I also bought to point and write touchpad which works extremely well and I like it alot. It was only an extra 50 bucks and it is helpful for school.
