ple englighten me then...

As far as i concern, fujitsu, sony and toshiba is only good for their very high-end models, which are the ultra-portable with 10" screens and pentium-m ULV

that said, DELL offerings is 3/4 their price and has better design

and if u wanna say physical design wise, i.e. stability as not in falling down, good components and stuff, Dell Latitude Series has all that. that's why it's more expensive than Inspiron but still much cheaper than those made-in-japan counterparts...

and if u haven't even use them, pls, try it

Fujitsu
Pros: Maintain excellent quality. 1 of the 2 brand that are "made in Japan"

Cons: Prices are steep. Parts are steep. Few service center locations around the globe.
