    After a great deal of deliberation and research, I'm about to go with Fujitsu's S7020. However, I just have a few last minute clarifications:

    1. I'm from India and the laptops we get here are directly sourced from Singapore. The options I have are - S7020 which has an regular TFT XGA screen, and S7021 which has a SuperFine XGA (1024 x 768) screen. Check out these choices here:

    I know that this is very different from the US models where the Crystal View screen carries a different resolution than the regular TFT model. My main question is, is the SuperFine screen same as the Crystal View screen?

    2. Does the S7020 have any heat / fan issues? Most people have said that it is slightly warmer than the earlier Dothan series laptops (S6231 etc) but nothing has been quantified yet. And what about battery life? According to the website, the S7020's battery life (4 hours) is greater than the S6240's (3.6 hours)!

    1. Yes superfine and crystalview are the same, just different branding for different markets.
