    I saw a store near where i live (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), selling Fujitsu P5020D for 2299.99 i wonder if it is a good deal or not. And by the way, it says it come with a high capacity battery and i was wondering if there is even a higher capacity battery?? and exactly how thick this thing is?? does it look bulky or massive??? because my old laptop is 4.2cm thick and i estimated 1.55 * 2.54 and i got around 4.. that's thick isn't it??

    anotehr question is if u turn off the optic drive, Wireless, dim the screen to half, and max proccessor setting how long would u get out of it?? 5 hours?? or more. ANy information would be appreciated.

    Expect to see the price of the 5020 fall a little bit in the next few weeks. The replacement, P7000 should show up on Fujitsu's site very soon.

    The P series is thick, but not disturbingly so. With those settings, I think you'd easily get 5 hours. My wireless is always on, so I've never tried ;)

    Thank you for your info, but then the difference is I live in Canada the product wont show up here for another three month i suppose. Hope it will drop soon or i will have to go with the S60210 or the Sony V505EX (which lots of people complained about it's touch pad??) is it that bad????? and for S62010 is there an option high capacity battery for it??? and is there high capacity battery for P50210D. THank you very much!!!

    Why don't you just buy from the US? The taxes would hurt I'm sure, but it might be worth it. I'll be selling my P5020D in a few weeks on eBay, so you could always wait for that. I'll ship to CA.

    There is not a high capacity battery for the P, but you can add one to the modular bay. I think the S is the same way.

    Mine will go on eBay. It's leaving me because I'm going to get the new P series. As for the battery, no 17 hours is not right. It takes just a few, though I've never measured it.

    The 7000 is not yet announced, no where to point you.
