The future of the FujiP is dark, with the horror of Sony design “features” slipping through the cracks. My addiction to going fast, and my complete inability to leave an internal combustion engine alone has also drastically reduced my tech-geek funds. I won’t be able to upgrade to the P7010D – there’s no way I’m going w/ the new model either. Clearly this means the P5020D has to last me until I either completely lose interest in all things with processors – or Fujitsu ceases with this insanity.

So far my plans are for a 100GB drive to replace the 80GB drive currently residing in the p5k, a full gig of ram, and a DVD-RW drive for the optical bay. The batteries have gone through hundreds of cycles – so the laptop only goes about 9 hours now, for shame! I’ll need to get another main battery and another modular battery – and a charger for them as well. All that should at least extend the life another few years, I hope.
