why this forum is so dead ??

why that ?? is something wrong with this make ??

i have the fujitsu siemens xi 2528 for 2 days and its very good right now.. i tried many laps form my friends and i can say that the fujitsu siemens is a very good one .. so why this forum like that ?

 

What the heck does this forum have to do with your computer?

 

no i dont mean that .. but i mean that fujits forum here is not alive like the rest .. i'm just wondring why !!

 

Not many people have Fujitsu's. I have never seen one in a store, and they are not plentiful on online retailers.

 

If you want to have a concerted Fujitsu discussion, you should visit leog:

Yeah, Fujitsu is one of the smaller manufacturers of notebooks, unfortunately, so the amount of members using Fujitsu will be fewer and obviously the forum will move slower due to the fewer members. If you don't need to focus on Fujitsu solely, the What Notebook Should I Buy, Windows OS & Software, Gaming sections are very busy!

 

Fujitsu-Siemens notebooks are not sold in the U.S. (And Americans probably make up the majority of forum traffic on this website, I'd guess.)

Fujitsu's "Lifebook" notebooks are sold in the U.S., but they are kind of hard to find in stores, and tend to be more expensive than the competition... so they're not that popular.

 

Im really surprised that Fujitsu notebooks have not become that popular in the US. They build a very high quality well built notebook that is Made in Japan. Most of the other notebooks are Made in China.

I have a N3010 with the MVA type display which nothing can compare these days. My wife has the N6460 which she is replacing her desktop with and she loves it.

I have heard that Fujistu notebooks are very popular in Japan.

 

IMO Fujitsu laptops are quite expensive...
Funny, that Fujitsu hard drives are everywhere though

 

come on ... espensive ???

i got the xi 2528 with an amazing price and none of the competitor was in the same range .. i think FJS need to make more laptops and wider their market ..

 

price? _____

 

In the US, the Fujitsu factory store has not only undercut their online distributors by several hundred per unit but they've resorted auctioning off new laptops right on Ebay for half the factory store price.
They must of made too many. I got an A6120 w/T8100 and all the toys for $500 delivered to my doorstep.

 

Fujitsu sell a lot of business class machines to commercial organisations and their consumer machines are typically low cost and basic; and those users aren't very common on forums like these.

 

Take a look on Ebay. They're awash in Fujitsu notebooks. They'd be more popular if they provided tech. service instead of lip service and weren't so secretive with hardware and software details. Acer has Service Manuals online!!!

 

cuz maybe not a lot of ppl have one

 

And one less after mine breaks. They don't belong in the PC business like IBM.
Too many "shirts"

 

Actually the Fujitsu 17" are hard to find on Ebay.

 

I have had them in the past. I found them rather "conservative" in their builds, not too keen on pushing the technology envelope. That said, they did pull out of the wholesaler and distributor market. That made a lot of folks really upset. Prices have always been too high until they started dumping them. To bad, they could have listened to the users and been a good option like Panasonic.

 

How's fishing up there. Been too long. My next boat will be christened the
"ForgetYou A6120". I'll make it overheat all day long Ha ha.

 

Fujitsu's service is not bad, And you can't compare an Acer to a Fujitsu, Acer is like the Kia, Fujitsu like a Lexus, in my opinion...
Also this forum isn't so flooded with peoples because people who come here are mostly here to complain, Fujitsu's are very solid...
Back to retail....Fujitsu used to be carried at Circuit City, like 5-6 years ago...I don't mind that they are not at that many retailers.....I could be wrong, but, I feel at the pace of manufacturing, they can keep quality in check.

 

@Joeyrb ..
but being shy and not at many retailers makes people afraid to buy it and soon no one will buy and they will go to the known brands like hp and dell and toshiba and so on ..
here in egypt when i told my friends i got a fujitsu siemens .. they all called me a fool cause i didnt get a known brand .. because they think that fujitsu is a crap while ( untile now ) its very good for the price for me

 

Yes, I see your point. That's why a little research is a good thing!
Glad you like your fuji

 

HERE IS THE REAL REASON WHY THIS FORUM IS DEAD. First of all fujitsu is very very very very well built so there is not a lot of issues with the hardware and software.

Second its made in japan so it is very expensive although in my opinion i think it is worth it because it last longer than the others. (save more money dont need to buy laptop every 2 years or so......)

Third ppl get too much comericials on HP and Dell and Macbook nubs and all the other laptops.

Therefore this forum is dead. Inorder to resolve the problem fujitsu needs to start making laptops from "china" and lower the price which i absolutely disagree but it will jump start their business.

In the end i like my fujitsu e8420 b/c its made in japan. I like their business b/c they dont go cheap on their customers. It sucs though b/c its expensive but you know sometimes expensive stuff cost more b/c its worth more and last longer.

FUJITSU OWNS!!

 

so what about sharing ideas to make this forum alive .. ??

as for me i will think for something to do .. maybe every one make his own review for his lap ??

 

why not? I just think ppl that buy fujitsu are ppl that are so busy w/ business that they just dont have time to play around w/ their laptops.

 

I'd like to see a review on the lifebook A1110, something about it makes me think it's not as good as the A6120....

 

Very, very, very, very, very long on unsupported personal opinions and really, really, really, really, really short on hard facts.

 

There are a ton of Fujitsus being sold at my local Frys store. I have felt them and played with them and I can tell you that they are very solid built. I think they are not too popular because not many stores have them and they are more aimed towards the older business crowd. Unlike HP and Dell that are sold every where, every one including the mom in the family has one.

 

Would you want to be a Fujitsu distributor when their own factory store undercuts your price by hundreds and then turns around and undecuts their own 'buy-it-now" price by HALF on Ebay? How does a full service dealer survive when surrounded by discounters and auctioneers schlepping the same identical inventory. CHANGE BRANDS. I would if my kids' food and the rent depended on moving a few rigs a month.

 

I'm not sure why Fujitsu is allowing all this undercuting activities here in the U.S. its sure not helping them.

Hey scott.ager , I'm in your neck of the woods. Go Hawks baby!

 

Too late for the Sea-Chickens. Maybe a Factory Outlet Franchise needed to give away more games !

 

I had a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo and was not happy with it at all. It was a nice looking laptop but the battery overheated, the casing cracked and the battery stopped charging. I have seen Fujitsu Siemens laptops in the stores in the UK and they tend to be quite cheap but, I would not buy one.

 

My school, which is in Ohio, just replaced all of their laptops with Fujitsus! I think they are sweet and very lightweight/thin, so I dont know why this forum is "dead." My teacher had his on a podium about 4 feet off the floor and tripped over the power chord. Needless to say the laptop went with it and landed on the floor. It still worked! No damage! I was impressed.
