    Hi,
    After looking around a few days my eyes fell on the Fujitsu Amilo Pro V8010. Seems to be a very decent notebook for its price (999 euro around here), but after having a few negative experiences buying notebooks I would like to be sure this one will meet my needs.
    What I'm looking for most is a quality notebook that isn't too heavy (3kg max), with decent battery life (not less than 3h) and that doesn't get too hot. Good processing power is a plus too (this one's a 1.7Ghz centrino IIRC, so that's alright) since I'm going to use it mainly for programming, and a good screen is also quite importing because I'm going to need it for web design and photoshopping too. It's not going to be a gaming rig, so the graphics card is of less importance.

    So I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this notebook or if someone had any negative/positive experiences with Fujitsu Pentium-M based notebooks? Do you think this notebook will be sufficient for my needs?
