    does anyone know if the graphics have been updated on the s2020 compared to the s2010?

    here's the pcmag review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1602108,00.asp

    which seems to imply it has a radeon 9200 -- i know the original s2010 didn't get very high 3dmark 2001 scores and was wondering if the s2020 would do better.

    thanks!

    Fujitsu's Go-Anywhere LifeBook

    The Fujitsu LifeBook S2020 has kept the thin-and-light profile of the company's S2000 family, while upping the horsepower with AMD's new low-voltage processor, the 1.6-GHz Mobile Athlon XP-M 2100+. But the real story lies in its wireless performance: It delivered some of the best results we've seen.
    ....

    The ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 borrows its 16MB video memory from the unit's system memory, so don't expect exceptional graphics performance.

    In general, benchmark test scores for the S2020 were respectable. The unit scored a 14.6 on Business Winstone 2004 and a 15.3 on our Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2004. The low-voltage Athlon XP-M processor and PowerNow! Technology helped the system's BatteryMark reach 2:53, which is decent in view of the "weight saver" four-cell battery our configuration came with. ....

    if low price and low weight are on the top of your list, the S2020 is a good option.
