With the exception of the AMD64 requirement, I use Fujitsu laptops
extensively, running Linux, FreeBSD, and XP.

They are good solid machines, and you will be happy.

STR seems solid, I never use suspend to disk.

My current sitch is that I use XP, with vmware for FreeBSD and linux,
so I have not delved into it much, but I used it FreeBSD
exclusively in the past for years.
