Be careful of any Fujitsu Seimens! My laptop has just been sent back under warranty for it's 3rd fault since August last year.

The AC power socket keeps failing and now the battery has failed too. Not a happy customer as the turn around is usually about 2 weeks.

Also the case 'paint' has worn badly around the keyboard where your hand rests when typing.

Shame because my first laptop was a Semiens and it was built like a tank

Edited to add:

Just discovered the battery is duff and they want £100+ to replace as "..it's a separate item and only has 6 months warranty", despite not actually being a user serviceable part whilst under the machines 1 year warranty as it will destroy the case seal and invalidate the machine warranty! Talk about a con trick. NOT a happy bunny today.
