Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very Satisifed

I use this on (and off) the road with mapping software. Bluetooth links to the DeLorme gps just fine and both Street Atlas and Topo run fine. I purchased a refirbished car charger to keep the little fella juiced up. Wish it would take a SSD since the...

Hi resolution screen

Track pad is a little jumpy

Not so great

I'm a professional network engineer. If it weren't for some small details on this machine, it would really be a marvel. With an SSD and an 8GB memory kit, it screams despite it's single core. Too bad,

Nice, well put together. Seemingly solid construction. Extremely compact form factor

Turns on randomly in computer cases. Hibernate/Lid settings have no effect. It got so hot one time that it smoked my aftermarket SSD drive. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Dissapointed

Picked up netbook for travel abroad - big enough to do paperwork, strong enough to do basic video editing, portable enough for extended travel. My biggest issue is that the bezel on right side of screen is loose and pops out of place easily. I've...

Win 7 Pro 64bit ; HDMI ; Plays Hulu and my HD movies from camcorder ; Big, bright, and clear screen ; Much faster and more capable than my old Atom 270 netbook

Build Quality ; Bloatware ; Why do companies keep putting the speakers on the bottom

Seems Good

The frame around the screen is not connected well. I've popped the black plastic LCD bezel off on the right hand side twice now while opening the computer. Closer inspection shows that the bezel edge is not flush with the cover edge, and has left a...

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit ; HDMI out, bluetooth ; Mostly good build quality ; Big, bright, and clear screen ; Hulu works, my videos work ; Battery Life decent, though there seems to be no replacement/extra batteries available

Bloatware city ; Cover is a fingerprint magnet ; Bad bezel - (see thoughts) ; Video and other drivers were outdated even though the (apparently useless) preinstalled Fujitsu driver update manager said all my drivers were up to date. It and the other 4...

Great, but....

Great little traveling computer. I think a dual core processor would make a lot of difference though. I would probably go that route if I had to purchase a netbook again. Also, even with the on board graphics utilizing the system memory 8GB is a little...

Works great. I installed 8GB of RAM in it immediately, just as a precautionary measure. I'm able to play WoW at minimal settings, but the game is playable if you're looking for something to give you the ability without toting a desktop replacement around

I tried installing a SSD immediately as well as the RAM, this did not go as well. I learned the bios does not support a SSD as a boot drive. I proceeded to contact Fujitsu, their customer service was great and very responsive, however they said no bios...

Love It!!!

Beautiful netbook. Besides the nice red polished exterior, this one has several features you'd expect from a 21st century item. I get a better WiFi signal with this Fujitsu then I do with my more expensive Acer Aspire. The dual partitioned hard drive...

There is no dvr and my Windows came with a Word starter but both of these are a quick fix
