I'm a reseller, and sold a Fujitsu LifeBook 530T to a very good customer. When I received it, I was able to turn it on 4 times before the video went completely out. I called my vendor, who sent a replacement out overnight. The customer is unhappy with it because he spends a lot of time on the road, and can only get about an hour out of the batttery life. I called Fujitsu, and they sent a replacement battery. STILL, the battery life is only an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. AGAIN, I called Fujitsu for the customer, trying to get the notebook replaced with a new one, since apparently the charging/battery unit inside the notebook is defective. I spoke to a Technical Support Rep, who would only tell me his name was John. He said no one at Fujitsu gave their last names. His only solution to the problem was a replacement battery, which I told him we had already tried. I couldnt' get anywhere with him, so I asked to speak to his supervisor or manager. He told me that he was the ONLY person at Fujitsu who could help me. When I again asked for a manager, he told me the manager was out, and he would have him return my call. This was 4 days ago, and I still haven't been called back. The next day, I again called Fujitsu, and after spending 40 minutes on hold, explaining the situation, I was told I'd be connected with a manager... I was DISCONNECTED. I run a computer store, I don't have time to wait on hold for 40 minutes, only to be disconnected. I'm appalled at the lack of support Fujitsu gave me, as a reseller. I sell only quality products, and if the manufacturer can't support me, then I won't sell their products anymore. Further, I URGE EVERYONE NOT TO BUY ANY PRODUCT MANUFACTURED BY FUJITSU!!! I REPEAT - - - DO NOT BUY FUJITSU PRODUCTS IF YOU EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO STAND BEHIND THEM! josh@getup.com

As a reseller you should know that the 530 only has a small battery (10.8 volts, 2200mAh.) 1.25-1.5 hours is usual for a small battery. Fujitsu decided to sacrifice time for weight. Let the buyer beware. :-)
