I got one Fujitsu s6120 since three months ago... very good... design very nice, slim, tough... performance also very good (except for intensive 3D games)... i recommend it to those who have budget up to 8k... below is my Q & A when i was choosing the laptop model...

Why not Apple?
i dunno how to use Mac OS...

Why not IBM?
nice also but very ugly... at least for me...

Why not Toshiba?
it's tough but bulky like a tank...

Why not Sony?
Playstation 2 is good ... but Sony laptops' screen too small for me and its performance normally below average....

Why not NEC or Compaq?
looks tough but actually not...

Why not Dell?
lazy make phone call and don't want wait for someone that i don't know...

Why not ASUS?
good in motherboard and graphic card... but not in laptop...

Why not Acer?
if you want to hear some sound effects when you open up the laptop's screen, just go for it...

Why not other brands?
forget about it...

anyway, price does matter... just choose your laptop based on your budget and usage...
btw, no matter what brand is it... if you can take care and use your laptop gently... then it is the best laptop for you...

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.
