Fujitsu LifeBook P7010 (Pentium M 713 1.1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD)

Summary: I have had my P7010D for six months now, and I am happy to say that this is the best technology purchase I have ever made. I have had a handful of Dell computers & laptops in the past, but this Fujitsu machine takes the cake. The fingerprint sensor was a little inaccurate at first, but now, it is more than 95% accurate. It is only inaccurate when I don't swipe my finger properly. The screen is so bright, I could work with my sunglasses on. And not to mention the 4-hour battery life. I have had absolutely no problems so far with this computer. It is super handy, and I actually find it easier to type with the smaller keyboard. The only thing I would change is the CD tray. There are no problems with the CD tray, but I prefer the automatic insert/eject slots that are found the Apple Powerbooks. I plan to purchase another couple of these for the rest of my family within the next year.

Summary: i am and always have been a mac user. but my 12" powerbook was still too big for what i wanted.
i decided to buy one of these lifebooks for the geek factor of using another system (i intend to dual boot linux on it however) and i really like it.
this is in my opinion the best ultraportable you can come by and the best 'peecee' notebook ever.
the biometric scanner actually WORKS. i thought it would be some cheap gimmick but it works perfect for me to log into windows, log into websites, encrypting files.
the keyboard is fine for me, im a 21 year old male and while my fingers arent huge, they arent tiny either....i couldent see a problem with most people using the keyboard on this machine unless your fingers are exceptionally big.

the only thing i i dont like about it is that it has xp (osx on this thing would be PERFECTION) and that the lid, while black in normal light actually looks like a deep deeep deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep brown if you hold it directly under a bright light. but unless your looking at every microscopic detail (like i do) and inspecting it under a spotlight it will look solid black

overall im very pleased with this notebook, im by no means 'switching' but its nice having the option to use either platform and having a cute little amazingly portable device like this

if your thinking about getting one, seriously considor it. it is an editors choice for a reason, and it think it truly deserves it.
i looked at the sony t series too, but LESS features for MORE money and an ugly design seemed pretty stupid to me.
the lifebook even came with a carry bag and a screen cloth

suffice to say, i love it
