I have had this machine for about a month. It works beautifully and is more user friendly than my previous laptop, but the key markings are already rubbing off! The letters are white on black, and the tech support line only suggested finding a plastic cover to put over the keys. The keyboard is considered cosmetic and not covered under warranty, but could be replaced for $230. They explained that some people's skin chemistry is more abrasive than others, but I have never had a problem with the keys on other brands. I have since heard other complaints about Futisu Lifebooks' letters wearing off.
I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and added an extra 1 Gb of Ram on it and it works great.
The only drawbacks that I've encountered are:
-The trim on the laptop isn't very durable (plastic fades easily).
-The fingerprint reader/software won't work with Windows 7
-Battery life is lacking (less than 5 hours)
The Pros:
+Easy access to Hard Drive and Ram ports
+Made in Japan
+DVDRW drive
+Lots of USB ports (5 total)
This laptop is faster and more usable than a netbook. However, this behemoth is heavy (11 lbs)!
Its not fast enough to play the latest and greatest 3D FPS, but you can easily use the latest version of Photoshop and numerous video editors.
Bottom-line, if you want a laptop that can process multimedia files, this laptop is for you. Stable, easy to use, and relatively inexpensive laptop.
