A great buy w/some minor annoyances
Feb 11 '00 Write an essay on this topic.
I bought my Fujitsu C352 (333 Mhz Celeron) about 9 months ago for $1299. I upgraded it to the maximum of 96MB RAM as soon as I got it, and I don't notice a performance difference between it and my desktop 450 K6-2. I love the mouse, but it did take some getting use to. It's much better than the eraser style ones on Thinkpads and I like it better than those touchpads. It's held up very well, even after banging it around a little bit.
The battery life leaves a little to be desired though. I can usually get only about an hour out of it even with the screen set very dim and the network card out. With the network card active, I get even less. It's also large and heavy compared to some of the newer ones I'm seeing like the Compaq's. The hard drive is also a small 4GB.
