    I'm thinking of sending a petition to fujitsu siemens to bring the amillo line to the us, I just wanted to make a poll to see who would consider buying one if they came to north america.

    I'm interested in the one that has external ATI graphics. It's a 13" with integrated graphics so it shouldn't cost too much. then add a top of the line ATi graphics card to it. :D

    I voted yes, I like Fujitsu siemens laptops, they are very well made and they have pretty nice specs.
    1.5yrs ago when I was looking for a laptop, I was looking at the fujitu laptops cause they had amd processors in them. I was very interested in getting one of them with the x1600 or x1800 graphics, cant remember which, and I could not find one site which whipped to the United States. I was so mad, but then I found that Voodoo offered an AMD laptop, so I did research found that it was a clevo d900k, and then bought the Voodoo after reading great reviews. If Fujitsu shipped to the US, I would have purchased some Amilo laptop instead.

    I voted yes because, Fujitsu-Siemens sells Arima models also found in Alienware notebooks. I'd love to see some more direct competition to Alienware. Heck, I'd do anything to get FS to sell notebooks in the U.S. / N.A., with direct U.S. / N.A. support.

    Fujitsu, Alieware and others all rebrand Uniwill machines under their own model lineup. Would be nice to have a "Rosetta Stone" that translates the brands and models back to their source. Makes parts and drivers locating a lot easier. I guess Uniwill doesn't want to go direct........
