Fujitsu Lifebook p2120. 384MB Ram 933mhz Crusoe TM5800 Processor, 40GB Hard Drive, Standard batt in main bay, hi capacity batt in 2nd bay, and 3rd batt in 'modular' bay. Fujitsu says runtime is 17.5hrs, should be fine for 12+hrs
ian,
i just ordered almost the same machine. but so far, i only have the regular battery (well, i don't have anything yet, it should arrive later this week)...but are you sure that you can put all 3 batteries in at once? I was under the impression you could only do either the standard or hi capacity plus the modular, but not all 3.
i think maybe the standard and the hi-cap batt are hot-swappable when the modular battery is in use, but i'm not sure about that.
i am considering whether to buy those additional batteries or go with some other option.
any other lifebook users out there chime in? thx.

Damon, good question. I was under the impression that there are two 'regular' battery bays... so you can have the standard and hicap in at the same time. then the modular bay allows for a 3rd batt (when you take out the dvd/cdrw drive).
But, if you're right, and there only is 1 'regular' battery bay, i would think that with the modular battery in there you can 'hotswap' between the std. battery and the hicap battery.
Either way, it looks like it'll be enough battery power!
Ask Tall. He owns a lifebook p2000 series, i originally was going to buy his... but he was asking $1200 and I was able to get a faster computer, with more ram and hard disk space, brand new, for 1685 with all3 batts. (incl. tax and shipping)
Before you place your order (unless you already have) do a quick google search for fujitsu coupon code and you should be able to find pretty easily 2 deals that are valid now. 1 is $50 off $1000 purchase. The other is free shipping. It would not let me use both so i opted for the free shipping.
Let me know what you find out - i won't know anything till i get mine
