Re: watch the warranty fine print

I think it is maker-specific. I have Lenovo laptops, and they have the =
absolute best service - they send a box with pre-paid postage. Often, I =
will get the laptop back 2 days after I send it in! =20

I have one set of Gateway laptops. I have to pay for shipping both =
ways, find (or buy) a padded box to ship in, AND one of the laptops I =
have had to send in three times for the same repair in under a year!

machines from other companies in the past, and the shipping was covered =

Fujitsu's idea of service?
