I do have a bag of popsicle sticks and some old intel cpus that skuzzy could combine with some duck tape to make a laptop, but it was a weekend so I figured I'd give him some time off to go through his backlog of "the arena is inaccessable and my 7 year old modem isn't the problem" tech support emails.
The little fujitsu is pretty damn sweet. The only major gripe I have so far is the use of the crummy integrated intel video. The "brite" display is very nice although at high brightness levels it reduces battery life by about 25%, so it definately pays to fiddle with the power settings. Without messing with power settings, the battery is only good for about 3 hrs without using the cdrom drive. With reduced display brightness, it's good for nearly 4 hrs. I expect it would last for a full 2 hr movie but not much more, unlike my T41p which gives me a no-kidding solid 4-5 hours of battery life even with using the cd drive a bunch.
For a sub-4 lb notebook, I'm very impressed. The last gripe which isn't important now but which will piss me off in the future, is that the 512 meg of DDR2 memory came in the form of 2 256 meg sticks. That sucks. I'll have to toss out one or both sticks to upgrade, and ddr2 laptop memory isn't cheap.
