    I just thought I would try one more time to get some of the Winbook owners to post reviews, comments, or suggestions about Winbook Notebooks. I tried for several months during my quest to get my first notebook to get some feedback from Winbook owners. I received only one reply from someone that had it over 10 years ago. I was hoping one more time to see if there was any Winbook owner out there willing to share with us your experience with Winbook and your notebook (model and specs, if you do not mind).



    Thank you in advance.

    I would guess that either there are no Winbook owners out there reading now or the few that do have one dont read this. I guess that says something about that brand!

    I looked at them at Micro Center and I didnt like the touchpad so Im not buying one. The mouse didnt move correctly often.

    This is the third overt attempt at such a venture. Alas, I stand by my last hypothesis that either no one is buying Winbook or the people that buy don't love their machines. Either way is bad...

    Too bad about the Winbook, it stayed in the running for a long time. However with no responses from owners except things breaking in the Winbook forum I did find, I said no way. Yes, I asked for reviews, comments in that forum too. No one replied at all. However, several people kept adding post after post about something going wrong with their Winbook and needing help. But guess what, no one usually responds (about 98% of the time) to those requests either. The Winbook book owners seem to be a very quiet bunch.

    Thanks for the offer. I wanted to join the Fujitsu side, but for the integrated graphics (on what I could afford). So instead, I joined the HP ranks and purchased a ZT3000.
