My keypads got worn out after 3 weeks so i wrote to Fujitsu. They offered to replace it at no cost and at a time convenient to me and the unit will be shipped over from SG (it seems like my email got referred to SG). I have a choice to do it back home or in KL. They seem to prefer me to go to KL to get it done so that I can check the unit etc. I don’t mind as long as they will do it for me. The SC said that they will keep the keypads for me.
The SC promised that the problem will not crop up anymore with the new keypads. Fujitsu’s service is good. Will see if it can match IBM or not. Then again, I think I should not compare it with IBM lah, not very fair. LOL . . .
Okay, I’ve been using this notebook for almost a month and so far I like it (will love it once my keypads are replaced).
Heat-wise its okay and it does come in handy on cold nights. I sometimes warm my hands by the fan and it feels nice (just don’t leave it there and forget about it… hahaha).
I’m getting used to the softer keyboard and its clicky enough for my liking. The full-sized keyboard helps lah, makes typing much easier. I am still waiting for my weight-saver to arrive then my laptop will weigh less (@ 1.9kg).
On a side note – I got my Thinkpad LCD fixed up. I so love my thinkpad but will pass it to mom to use. I tried to get IBM to replace my keyboard but nothing came out of it.
