    I noticed on PC magazines latest survey and reliability survey that Fujitsu had a 14% rate for office notebooks (the best), but yet a 29% repair rate for home notebooks, which was the worst of the companies listed. I foiund this very strange.

    That is strange. I'm not sure how they categorize the notebooks or how they measured this. I will say though that they've moved more production to China which does appear to be worse than what comes out of Japan.

    You're completely missing my point. You shouldn't reply to a thread that old. It is no longer relevant.
