I had Fujitsu laptops from beginning of the 2000s until around 2009; the quality and support were amazing. You paid for it but man these things were good. Panasonic makes great laptops as well but these days it really does not warrent the high pricetag...

I'd buy another Fujitsu if they had any current models with displays that are up to date. Seems someone there thinks that anyone who is using a portable doesn't need a display taller than 768 (or some other absurdly low number of) pixels.

the problem is, this merger collapsed. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3056030/computers/proposed-to...

now Fujitsu is looking to be acquired by Lenovo http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/10/27/business/tech/fu...

and Toshiba is ending its consumer laptops entirely. http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/laptops/toshi...

Toshiba Vaio would still make a good merger, one with sexy consumer laptops (the only PC laptop ever respected by Steve Jobs) and the other with functional utilitarian business laptops.

I didn't realize Toshiba is stopping selling consumer laptops! Such sad news. :( I've exclusively bought Toshiba every since I got my first laptop way back when.

Yes, for Fuljitsu that is a big reason; Panasonic has nice displays but they have insane prices. I was checking one of those (these [0] I think) in Tokyo and they are really nice; insanely long battery life, high res and generally very well built. But crazy prices.

I have seen quite a few Fujitsu machines on sale at eBay via their refurbished store. Plenty have 2160p displays; I recently got a Q555 made-in-Japan tablet for reading that has a 1920x1200 10.1" screen. My 3+ year old T902 (1600x900) is still superb though I might replace it with a T935 (2560x1440) some day.
