After reading the comments on this post, I thought I would add my comments. I bought two FS desktop pc's under the Siemens employee scheme. (not Fujitsu-Siemens)
The first Scaleo 600 was fine with no problems. The next one bought under the scheme a Scaleo T, has had 2 motherboards, one card reader, & one DVD Rom drive. I have given up with the card reader & replaced it with a cheap one from Ebay. So far, so good.
I bought another Scaleo 600 (on Ebay) for my grandaughter, no hardware problems.
I bought an E600 on Ebay, no problems.
Now laptops, my grandaughter had an old Lifebook E7010, that packed up, no idea what it was, & cannot take the bloody thing apart, so its sitting here not working, but with a good screen if anyone is interested.
She now has another E7010, that seems fine at the moment.
My stepdaughter had a Lifebook E8010, that didn't last long, got a screen for that as well.
My company provide me with a Lifebook E8020, I have lost track of the times someone has had to look at it. But it has been working fine for some time now. (touch wood)
The Siemens company I work for use, FS desktops, & overall, I would say they are pretty good. And I don't mean in an office environment.
If you are buying a laptop to play high end games, then you are bonkers, desktops have trouble with heat etc, laptops are NEVER going to be as good.
This is a users forum, & people would do well to remember that, so any comments from Moderators, are gratefully received.
But judging by people's comments about the level of support from the "help desks" I am disappointed. Fujisu Siemens should be taking onboard the level of disatisfaction.
In fact, they can't be a Siemens company, because I know my company are very concerned about customer satisfaction, no end of surveys are sent to customers.
So, in conclusion, I would buy FS desktop, but I think I'd buy HP laptops. (but there again, I don't look on the HP forums)
