Mark, Sorry, somebody might have responded with this information already - I am short on time to read the entire thread at the moment.
Fujitsu laptops in general tend to have good quality screens. I never researched the type of the LCDs. If you are looking for "ultraportable" line (comparable in size to netbooks but with a proper CPU capabilities, - you should look at P series. S series is somewhat larger/heavier, but still very reasonable. (they also have "desktop-alternative" versions, - but I don't know much about those) You might find discussions about Fujitsu models on leog.net forums useful. AS for P series, - I've had my P5020D for over 6 years now, and I love it. 10.8", ~3.6 lbs. P7K series was also good. Some people like P8K family less, but I think it's a matter of preference. There are two new models P8210 and something else that haven't reached US market yet. I am waiting for them to upgrade my P5K. There is a claim that until P8120 all P-series laptops were produced by Fujitsu itself (as opposed to OEM, as it is done by many laptop manufacturers these days, - especially in case of cheap netbooks). P8210 is expected to be the first OEM-produced, but again, the claim is that Fujitsu has very tight control over the OEM. (Well, Fujitsu is itself an OEM, - so it sounds weird, - but that's the common usage when OEM is used as "non-brand-name company".)

Last I heard there weren't any high quality displays under 17" and I'd prefer something smaller than that if possible. My current laptop just died. It's a total "nothing lights up" failure, so I have a sneaking suspicion that it's something very basic and not a prohibitively expensive fix. But if fate does bless me with an expensive repair that justifies ditching it and buying a new computer, I'd like to be prepared... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
