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.
