Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 Arrived


My lady paid about $100 for it in total, $19.50 out of this sum was for shipping it from CT to CA (what are they using to ship it for whopping $20?). It was the cheapest T5010 unit on ebay, but for $81 you should admit you can live without key "@/2" (one more key "!/1" put on instead of a correct missing cap). You also should believe that nothing could be wrong with tablet when a big chunk of its palmrest corner is broken off and missing:


For the price, this Fujitsu goes without power adapter and stylus. It also came with Fujitsu Windows XP SP3 preinstalled instead of stock Fujitsu Business Vista for which there's still a valid COA provided. I've no clue where I can get Fujitsu Vista restore disks as free downloadables. But the screen is almost immaculate after my thorough wash of it in alcohol, no scuffs or scratches could be noticed even under magnifying loupe. 

While I'm using some temp 19 V AC adapter that works almost fine (for whatever reason, a second battery is charging very very slowly, so eventually I think I would need a genuine 90 W Fujitsu adapter), I can't test sensor screen, because my old Wacom stylus isn't detected. I will try Fujitsu drivers upgrade, however, I don't believe Fujitsuans have anything to offer for Win XP/Linux. 

I won't get an OEM stylus replacement for at least another 4 days, which sucks big Fujitsu.

It runs XBMC and Xubuntu just fine.

Anyone to get rid of his/her working Fujitsu Lifebook T902 with fine, not damaged screen but with bottom, or both palmrest corners, HDD, and several keys missing, for a $100? Talk to me.
