I'm almost ready to buy one, I just had one concern: The lack of a seperate GPU. I'm will need to do some work in Photoshop and possibly After Effects (though not very likely) and I was curious if anyone had any feedback on how this machine will handle it. Also, I do plan on playing some games. But not anything too graphically heavy (i.e., Age of Empires, Sim City 4, etc.). Any help would be apprecieted.
Thanks

I can't tell you about the fujitsu but can tell u bout my ASUS M2N which has similar specs(http://www.notebookreview.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=489. With small pics and general photo retouching Photoshop runs as well as my desktop with an ATI9600 XT. However it is a bit slower when editing/using filter etc on v.large images. Bumping up the RAM will help this however. Where the integrated GPU comes unstuct is with 3D games. I have run call of duty and battlefield vietnam on the notebook, but I had to set the graphics to 640X480 and everthing set to low/off for them to be playable. This is ok for a quick game for me, but nothing more than that.
My memorys of simcity4 were that it was actually quite GPU intensity, I will doubt you will get much past 8x6 with low details, but I could be wrong!
Hope this is of some help

Thanks a lot, that does help quite a bit. I'm still holding out with my purchase until I find just the right one.
