SOLD: Well-tended Fujitsu P1620 looking for a good home
SOLD: Thanks to all who made an offer.
I have started to do this several times but couldn’t bring myself to do it. Every day sitting in my office in Mobile Tech Manor I look over and see the Fujitsu P1620 Tablet PC sitting in its dock, staring at me forlornly as I just don’t have time to devote to it. I am not one to just keep gadgets that I don’t use much and while it is not easy I think its time to find a good home for the P1620.
The Fujitsu P1620 is an 8.9-inch convertible notebook with a touch screen that has all the bells and whistles. When I ordered it from Fujitsu early this year I configured it with everything they had: 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of memory, 100 GB hard drive, fingerprint reader, 6-cell extended battery, 8.9-inch screen (1280×768) and with Vista Business. Fujitsu has the best palm rejection technology around so the touch-screen is easy to operate by touch yet still offers good inking capability.
I always get accessories to maximize the utility of gadgets I purchase and this was no different. I ordered a second extended battery (5 – 6 hours), a dock, USB slim optical drive (Fujitsu TRIII), Waterfield Designs SleeveCase and an extra A/C adapter. Since these accessories are all for the P1620 I would include all of them with the device for the new owner. The P1620 has been well cared for and is like brand new. You can see many photos of the device in the review I did of it when I first got it. I should have all the original packaging, at least around here somewhere. That would include all DVDs, manuals and the like. I would also restore it to the factory image of course.
If you have an interest in the Fujitsu click on my cartoon head and shoot me an email. Tell me what you’re willing to part with to get all of this technology and we’ll take it from there. I’m feeling very sad right now.




How much does it cost?
The only problem I have with my P1510 is that I don’t want to lose it — it’s not disposable. Too nice. They’re great machines, I wish it had been cheap enough that I’d feel okay with it getting stolen… I’d take it everywhere.
You honestly sell off any machines you don’t have time for? What if, a year down the line, you realize that the 1620 would be the perfect machine for your needs? I hang onto my gadgets for dear life… which may be why I have boxes full of subnotebooks.
Still, though.
Just make an offer via email and we’ll take it from there.
Weylund, I often regret selling gadgets and in fact the P1620 purchase was the result of regretting selling my 1610. Right now there are 5 laptops in my office and it makes no sense to keep this at this time.
James, I feel your pain. I love my P1620. But it too is neglected. I instead step out with my Dell XT, with its capacitive, multi touch loveliness. My HP 2710p is my workhouse at the college. My HTC Advantage is my MID. So, my P1620 just sits in its dock forlornly.
My P1610 is also going up for sale. Not in conflict with you here James as I am in the UK and am looking for a UK buyer.
I have a dock for mine and it came as standard with the extended battery. Other than standard wear and tear over the last one and a half years it is fine and works really nicely.
Let me know if you are in the UK and interested.
(James… hope this isn’t treading on your toes).
I love my P1620 and I would never dream of putting it up for adoption! I take it with me everywhere. I wouldn’t want for it to miss me.
Cough *Fujitsu P1630 coming*. I’m just kidding with you James…hehe
Well, I’m sure my wife would love it if I sold off my old laptops et al, but… when I dig out my old Librettos, or C1VN, or what have you, and get good use out of them (or give one of my MobilePros to my kids — they’re tough machines!) it makes storing the darned things all the more worthwhile.
I dunno, man. To each his own, I suppose. Good luck!
