light weight, long battery life, functional, stylish.......2004-05-19
A bundle of joy - only 3.3 lbs.......2004-04-06
The reasons for buying the Fujitsu (although I have not owned anything made by Fujitsu before) were (i) it was in stock (ii) it was $200 less than the Sony (iii) it had slots for different memory sticks e.g., for my Sony digital camera and my dad's Canon digital camera (iv) it was as light as the Sony.
I also purchased a notebook in-flight power cord to be used on the plane. This turned out to be unnecessary as the P5020D had a very long battery life. I was not close to running out of battery on the 13-hour flight. (I did not leave it on at all times). Also on AA flights, the seats with power outlets in the economy class Boeing 777 are the ones next to the aisle seats (in the 5-seat rows). This makes it a little awkward to move to the middle seat when the plane is not full. Check the AA.com site for the location of the AC outlet seats.
Other features I like: DVD/CD-RW drive, Clear battery remaining indicator, Easy-to-find switch to turn on/off wireless transmission (you'll need to turn it off during the flight), Universal adapter for 110/220 voltage (I use the laptop in both Thailand and the U.S. without having to purchase an additional adapter), Simple interface design (I have only had to refer to the manual once in the last one month)
Features I haven't tried: DVD player, IEEE 1394 connector, Digital audio out/in (for downloading songs to MiniDisc), Video out, USB interface, mini VGA adapter, Wireless LAN, swapping the dvd/cd-rw drive with an extra battery (optional)
Note: The keyboard is an 83-key keyboard functioning as a 101-keyboard. All keys are full-sized except for some non-alphabet keys like ".",",","/". Unfortunately, for foreign languages these keys are used for additional alphabets. (There are 44 alphabets in the Thai language). A slight inconvenience when writing in Thai.
