Fujitsu's market is targeted to business and high-end users, not gamers. If you're a gamer, forget about Fujitsu. Gamers would go for Compaq or Acer (At least this 2 brands has always release models with latest GPUs). IBM? It's for business users as well but it's case are partly made of Titanium, more reliable than Fujitsu's Magnesium Alloy, minus the design.

Can someone comment on Compact 2165Af? Looks like a good buy to me. But was just wondering whether there is any flaw. What about the casing, is it durable?

2165AF?
It's retailling at RM4,999.

Looks like a good buy to everyone with it's all-in-one features like Combo drive, wireless LAN etc. The weight is moderate, considering it's an all-in-one model - about 2.9kg with battery fitted in. The case? Well, it's not 100% Magnesium Alloy like Fujitsu but it's partly Magnesium Alloy.
It's a powerful machine though, Pentium4 M 2.4GHz. If you can pay few hundred bucks more, you can go for Centrino-based model but it's all up to your budget.

Netboy... i do agree with part of your statement. Just forget about Fujitsu if you are an INTENSIVE 3D gamer. But if u r an INTENSIVE 3D gamer, just forget about laptop and go for desktop PC. For my opinion, laptop is not designed for INTENSIVE 3D gamer. Although Nvidia just released their latest mobile GPU (GeForce FX Go 5700), but i would said that laptop still not suitable for intensive 3D gaming because it needs higher power consumption and larger size. Gaining in 3D gaming will losing in mobility.

Although ACER always released latest models with latest GPU, but it's just like putting a F1 engine inside a Proton Saga. Does anybody want a laptop with high performance but in low quality? Just imagine what will happen on a low quality product. So, I would say that durability and mobility are the key factors when we choosing laptop model. Of course, price does matter.

Yes!!!

hi SIWIS,
Your requirement for 6.5 hours battery life would be impossible even if it's a Centrino-based notebook. The 6.5 hrs is a theoretically calculated time by Intel. In real life, you won't be able to get 6.5 hrs on any Centrino notebook (At least on all that I've tried so far...) even if it's on standby mode.
BTW, your system requirement seems to meet Compaq x1075, Benq Joybook 5000, IBM T41 and Fujitsu S6120/6130.
