Mine is on order, I'll have a review posted in a few weeks with side-by-side shots of the P5020.

Does anyone know if the P7000 supports the Hitachi 7K60 7200RPM Drive?

This looks far better than the Sony TR line. Just the fact that it has the 855GME/DDR333 vs. the 855GM/DDR266 is a major plus over the Sony TR lineup. That's why I won't buy the TR5.

If this supports any 2.5 HDD like the 7K60 then I'm ordering one ASAP. Very nice! I may have found my notebook! Finally!

I've given up on the Asus W1N. Asus Doesn't seem to want to upgrade their video card to the 9700 and be up on technology and I'm tired of not knowing what their next move is. I guess they don't want our business. It's too bad, I sure would love a ASUS W1000N with the Dothan 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, and 128MB VRAM/Mobility 9700. I will not get one till I can get it with those specs.

 

Yep, the P series, including this model support standard notebook drives. No idea why Sony uses the 1.8, bad move. Consider ordering from www.laptopsinc.com. They have the best prices and return policy for Fujitsu.

wow, very nice indeed.

If only someone could come out with a (slightly larger?) laptop with a decent graphics chip (64mb radeon 9600 or 9700 really should not be too difficult to cram in there), and even with the 1.1 Ghz cpu, graphics performance would be greatly improved over the built-in)

Now that would be a laptop I would buy in a heartbeat.

This is a SA-WEEEEEET machine, the connectivity just blows me away (PC-Card AND CF.....SD AND MemoryStick)....awsome. I'll be looking forward to this review. I almost placed an order but better judement stepped in...getting ready to go on vacation and don't think the wife wants to just sit in the hotel. If the reviews are good, I think I'll retire my Libretto L5.

 

Damn that looks sweet, I'm tempted to order it on special from laptopsinc.com, but I'm curious about the super multi DVD that will be available in August, that's a DVD writer right? How much extra would it cost?

 

Right, that's a DVD burner. Price has not been confirmed yet, but expect it to be a few hundred dollars.

So is it actually selling at "price starting at $1,592" somewhere? the lowest I could find was 1799

 

I'm waiting for them to actually include the multi drive option.

ultimate notebook for my needs.

and mind you the fujitsu website says the DVD writer is going to be multiformat.

so sweet.

any idea if they are going to add "dothan" (Intel 733 ULV processor already released) and internal bluetooth?

those two are also imp requirements for me.
