Hey Klas, how is the sound of the optical drive when watching a dvd?

Is it still loud, or is it only loud when you are installing apps?

What kind of battery life do you get when watching a dvd??

unfortunately the drive is loud, as far as battery life I can't give you exact number but around 2.5 hours I think

Thanks for the quick reply Klas. I know some notebook speakers are hard enough to hear the sound as it is, let alone if you add a loud fan to the equasion.

I guess I should have asked if the fan was so loud that it drowns out the sound of the movie?

I took the plunge and ordered the 6231 from P1. Will let you know how I like it once I get it.

Fujitsu S6231

Was looking for a smaller lighter replacement to my plagued Toshiba 6100 (which is an abysmal machine).

I had a budget of $1800 to $2300 to spend and I chose this Fujtisu. I ordered it Fujitsu direct... anyone know if their lead times are accurate? I ordered it over the weekend, and the acknowledgement of order stated ship date should be the 11th. Today was the 11th... I know it didn't ship because they didn't bill my CC yet! I hope they don't jerk around, as this is a business-use machine!

I'm feeling pretty positive about it by reviews so far. Also, can anyone tell me, does Fujitsu actually manufacture their own machines from the ground up, or are they like so many of the others that use Compal, Asus, Quanta, Uniwill and others?

Thanks!

I believe Fujitsu is an odm. Mine shipped pretty quickly to the states. Within a couple days after I placed my order from P1. It had to be shipped from Fujitsu to San Jose because it was custom configured. The longest wait was go in the states and it was held up in the midwest for an FDA inspection.

I have been debating whether or not to get the S6231. The one and only reason holding me back is the touchpad. Apparently, this model uses the ALPS touchpads, which are known to be inferior to the Synaptics touchpads. Does anybody care to comment on the S6231 touchpad and whether this should be my deciding factor?
