Yesterday, John covered Fujitsu’s clever but vague free laptop plan, wherein you get a like-for-like replacement at the end of the 3-year extended warranty, so long as you buy another 3-year extended warranty.
The offer is sweet for peace-of-mind types who fork out for expensive coverage anyway, but not so hot if you’re a performance fiend or compulsive upgrader. Besides, if you live in the U.S., this pony is Not Yours: Fujitsu has no plans to bring it this side of the pond.
Here’s Michelle Thatcher at CNET:
We asked our contact at Fujitsu, who replied that LifeBook4Life is U.K.-only at this time, but that they’re “gauging the interest in such an offer in the U.S.” Translation: if you’re interested in buying once and enjoying laptops for life, make your voices heard.
