    I am a happy Fujitsu customer so far but one thing though, everytime I turn it for an hour or more the machine gets very hot and I can feel the electric current on my lap! Anyone have the same problem?

    Actually its not really that much better. I called fujitsu and the only difference is the processor and it ships with more memory standard. The S6220 should have better specs still. As for heat disipation, the rep at Portableone said that it probably doesnt have any case redisigns just a new mobo bios for how and when to disipate heat by turning fans on and off and stuff like that. So dont worry yours is still cool. [8D]

    Have you used other laptops on your lap? They are all pretty hot IMHO. As for electric current I hope you dont get shocked. [} :)] I dont know anything about that.

    BTW, I was referencing above to another post you made about the S6231.

    I only have that problem when I'm plugged into the wall playing a game, but when running off the battery its pretty cool and doesn't get hot.
