"Extremely Compact and Long Battery Life"
Pros: Very Portable, Well built, simple design, outstanding battery life, usable keyboard (given the size), strong customer support, low cost (including accesories)
Cons: difficult to use outside, limited ram, slow processor
Summary: Excellent for traveling sales professional. I use for email and voice dictation (Dragon Professional Version 8). Believe it or not, the system works reasonably well for dictation. Thus the limited-size keyboard is not a major issue.
You can buy this machine from Fujitsu's Outlet store for $699 ($100 rebate comes to $599)when it becomes available. I've purchased two at this price. You have to keep checking their website for the deal to appear.
All in all, you can't find a better machine for the money if you value portability. Also, the 6-cell battery is a must....
Those people who criticize the machine for performance and cd-rom are more apt to purchase a larger, heavier system. It's true about the performance. However, you've got to compare this machine to other laptops that are this small and portable. Also, you don't want a cd and faster processor because those elements kill the battery very rapidly. As for speed, the 1 Ghz level seems to be the benchmark for portability and battery life balance. Why would you be using a 3Ghz notebook for email and wordprocessing?
