    I'm am driving myself crazy trying to figure out which computer to buy...either the Fujitsu P5020D with 1Ghz, 512MB, 40 GB OR the Sony TR3A notebook w/512 MB, 40GB both are wireless. I am not that concerned about price and I know you all like Fujitsu's, I just need some thoughts. I am going to use it for school work, but no music. I need a long battery life and hopefully a system that is reliable and good customer support. Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks

    I own the 5020D and came close to the Sony. Didn't go that route for a few reasons. The TR is more expensive, harder to upgrade (not a standard HDD size), questionable support and I don't like the reflective XBRITE display. I love my 5020D. The new model is due out soon though, the P7000 series which will add the CrystalView display, much like what Sony offers.
