I bought 3 of these off Market2Market After using my friends Intermec 6640 I like the feel of a Pen Enabled Slate. (Saying this to please some Even though Fujitsu calls it a Tablet!)
I bought a pair of "Parts" Units, and a Loaded machine with the case Port Replicator and all. Finding add on goodies is like sleepwalking compared to other similar vintage machines.
I was lucky enough to get a pair of fairly usable batteries with my machines. However there are folks on eBay Selling NEW batteries for around 70 bucks.
I also like another one of you. I just ordered a 20 gig Hard drive myself. IBM Travelstar/Hitachi. Hopefully I'll get it to work good..
I'm using a Belkin F5D7010 802.11G Wireless 54G PCMCIA Card for my networking and Win98SE. It sucks down the battery terrible but it's SUPER Fast!
My Goal is to have something like a laptop. Yet with a little more portablity.
As More and More open Free Wi-Fi Networks are being built. I would like to have a little more internet freedom. Not being tied to my desktop for everything.
I have to hand it to Fujitsu. The 3400's I personally had found looking at a lot of other machines were one of the first usable Pen Tablet PCs. With all the bells and whistles of a top end laptop of the same vintage they are a real piece of well engineered technology.
The Intermec 6640's are nice machines But they were obsolete Long before being released. Major downer being the processor speed.
These 3400 Stylistic's with 400mhz PIII is a good quick Processor. Good enough still for light muilitasking, broadband wireless web surfing, and even DVD Playback.
I can forsee myself keeping those Fujitsu's for a long time. Thanks to eBay for bringing even more electronics into my very wired, or should I say wireless life.
