Fujitsu Lifebook E8010 and Intel 855GME Graphics

Hi
I think about getting an E8010, but have some questions left:
Does anybody own this notebook and give some comment on build quality and display and keyboard quality? Unfortunatly I couldn't find much reviews for this notebook on the net. Hows the real runtime on battery? Fujitsu talks about 6hours in their datesheet, but i think thats more or less the maximum runtime you can only get with zero cpu load und minimum display brightness. It would also be interesting if the fan runs all the way ( which I read on a magazine) oder only under heavy load.

Then for the Intel 855GME Graphics:
Can I connect my external crt monitor to the notebook and use the dual view feature to use both monitors simultanously and expand the desktop to the external monitor? Or is this only possible with seperate graphic cards like the mobility radeon 9700 & Co ?
It it's possible, can I set the resolution on the external monitor independently from the internal notebook resolution?

Thx for any comments
Matthias

 

hey, yes you can connect your crt and run either a 2 screen setup, output to sceen, notebook, or duplicate the screen on both devices. So if your asking if you could have 2 seprate screens running two different things, the answer is yes

Before you get too close to buying, the E8000 should also be updated with Sonoma in the next 1-2 months.
