They make one of the few laptops that still has a built in serial port which is good for custom hardware dev. And they are made in Japan.

I'm using my third Fujitsu now, never had a single problem and the first one i bought in 2004 still runs fine :)

I love their keyboards the most, but yeah, resolution isn't something they can be proud of. Been thinking of getting their new ultrabook, http://www.fmworld.net/fmv/pcpm1210/uh/spec/ (around $1400 USD) but resolution is only 1366×768, the same as the machine I already bought in 2010. And if you look closely, even external monitors via HDMI are limited to 1920×1080 which is just mean.

Lifebooks are amazingly awesome for non-Apple hardware, but yeah, low res has been letting them down for a while. The build quality is insanely good though.
