Advantages: You get to really struggle with the Mic settings. Disadvantages: Trying to get the Mic. to work reallt takes up all your free time
...I am connected to Skype but cannot get the Microphone to work properly on my FujitsuE8020D which is 2 weeks old as at 12 August 2006. The driver detects the Microphone being plugged in but the Mic does not work properly.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please contact me at hfester@vodamail.co.za
What bothers me most is that when I contacted the company whom I bought this laptop from ( Annex in Midrand South Africa), they told me they do not offer support. So much for offering 3 YEARS warranty and they cannot even offer me support 2 weeks later. DISGUSTING.
Yet the 3 identical laptops which is approx 6 months old works fine except for the 3 purchaed within the last 2 months.
Please email me if anyone knows how to solve this problem.
Thank you

Advantages: Great graphics, Fast with great processor Disadvantages: No memory card reader
...I bought this product for school work as i entered the sixth form, however on the side i really did need a good laptop as i do a lot of photo editing and web building using incredibley demanding pieces of software like Adobe CS3. I had a small budget of about £400, and was wanted the most for my money. The laptop has surprisingly good spec with a core2duo processor and 256mg ATI radeon graphics card this laptop has much better spec than others in its price range, i have had dht elaptop about 6 months and had one major problem when my bios battery had to be replaced due to a factory error only effecting mine, however the laptop went away for only 1 week a short time considering it went all the way to germany. It ispretty damn quick this laptop and is prbably the best in a price range of at least up to £500. Its a shame it has no memory...

Advantages: good look, relatively cheap, dvd burner, 160gb hdd Disadvantages: not enough RAM, processor isnt that good
...I have this computer at home. its a great piece of machinery, although its a tad slow and i had the RAM double to now leave me with 2gb, i find that this processor, compared to that of the one in my office is slow. but for the price, this personal desktop computer is a bargain, it has great features, including a dvd burner, and a relatively large hard drive. the overall look of the computer is amazing, it looks like its worth a lot more money. building your own pc is probably a better idea, in terms of both the cost and the overall productivity of the machine. othen then that i think this computer is a fine piece of work at a bargain of a price (thats if you dont want to build your own)...

Over the past few months my son (14) and my daughter (10) have both become increasingly interested in the computer. They are both very much into BEBO and MSN and my son is using the computer more and more for his schoolwork. This is now causing no end... more
This is a good example of a mid-range, mid-price lap top that will do what you need it to do, without over-spec-ing for the ordinary user, and costing more than you need to pay.
I have had a couple of Fujitsus - one I was very happy with til some... more
