The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I can't comment on the notebooks, but I can tell you now that Fujitsu after-sales service is dismal. More dismal than Sony, might I add.
Know a few people who bought Fujitsu lappies in Korea a while back. They failed (which I can understand, as electronics sometimes do), but the service centre was really horrid from what I hear.
Apparently it was so bad that Fujitsu had to pull out from Korea because nobody was buying their products anymore due to bad service.
Unless you are confident in servicing your own machines (as I learned eventually after similar experiences), I would stick to the more reputable companies. Granted, Sony lappies are not too common (with HP, Compaqs and what not), but they are pretty well known in Japan at least.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
