    Saturday went to a Fujitsu shop to check out the new Sonomas. Saw the S7021, looks good. The mouse buttons were kinda grey :( don't know what fujitsu was thinking when they put that it, silver looks better. Also, they have blue LEDs for power status and the multifuction buttons have a new design.
    One thing that caught my eye was the LCD display. You know the one that almost all fujitsu have. Where it shows Battery status, hdd, cap locks. Here in the S7020 it shows wireless signal!!!! why doesn't the S7011 *dothan* shows, is there a software to make it show? I check the wireless driver, it's the same one. Hmm, just wanted to know if any of you guys has seen it?

    PS would love for it to work on dothan :(

    Yeah seems like a no brainer. I can't imagine buying a notebook based on the color of the touchpad buttons.

    honestly i kind of liked the gray......... but think of it this way... no matter what color they make the keys someone is gonna complain. in other words color shouldnt be an issuse. if it is then take your keyboard to a paint shop and have them redone.
