Frankly, we're incredibly jealous. Though Fujitsu LifeBooks are hardly known for budget prices, they are among the few machines still made in Japan and have one of the best build qualities in the market. In fact, the Japanese maker is so confident of its quality control that it has made a three-year warranty standard in Asia, even for its
Netbook.
To sweeten the deal further, the new
LifeBook4Life program in the UK promises Fujitsu laptop owners a new machine every three years. To adjust for inflation, 10 percent will be added to the original price to determine the value of the replacement. This applies to the LifeBook S, T, E and P range. For the cheaper Esprimo line, the Esprimo Promise initiative will refund the purchase price of the machine in addition to repairing the laptop as long as the warranty is still valid.
Sadly, Fujitsu Singapore has just confirmed that this is a UK exclusive and is unlikely to travel to Asian shores soon. But for those going to the UK for an extended period, you may want to hold off your LifeBook purchase till you get there.
