    Does Fujitsu make such a model? And if so does it have a dock/port replicator?

    Thanks.

    nope, infact I don't think you will find any model with discrete graphics other than the E series and the N series.

    Right, Fujitsu is behind the curve in this regard.

    They used to make this model. E7010 with a ATI 7500 Radeon and SXGA+ 14.1 screen.

    sigh..if only Fujitsu's current 14.1 model, the S7020 had an x600. unfortunately, the E series now is bigger and bulkier..but it does have an ATI card.

    Sounds like Fujitsu is taking the IBM/Lenovo strategy...
    make great notebooks with great build quality, but cripple the graphics cards :D

    What is wrong with their keyboards? Anything a potential customer should know?

    You could try the thinkpad Z serie if you have the extra cash.

    I don't know what's up with widescreen these days. I like this form factor, less scrolling up and down for documents.

    Form factor means the size and type of the machine.

    And by this i means 4:3 ratio of the screen. So yeah, the "square" type.
