    I read on numerous posts that Fujitsu is coming out with new models for its S6000 and S7000 series in March. I noticed that right now none of these models have widescreen versions. Only the P7000 series has this option.
    Is there any chance that the new S6000/7000 models will have widescreen versions? TIA for any inputs.

    the new n3510 and the n6010 are wide screen, 15.4" and 17" respectively. very doubtful that the s6 or 7 will get a wide screen, because fujitsu's main target is business laptops, and wide screens are not considered a feature for such laptops. just look at ibm another business laptop manufacturer, no wide screens.
    the new s6/7 are most likely identical with sonoma added to them!

    No, they'll use the same bodies from what I hear. I don't think widescreen is going to happen for those right now, given the reasons already noted, though I would love to see it.
