i am quite happy with my fujitsu lifebook p1510.
i had everything work at one point.
unfortunately the touchscreen stopped working after the latest X11 upgrade.

previously i had someones hacked driver, compiled for X11 6.8, and that
continued to work with 7.0 (and 7.1), but stopped with 7.2
7.2 does come with a driver that is supposed to work, but there are no
docs on how to configure it so i was unsuccessful.

everything else works. 3d hardware acceleration too.
(have not tested the sd card reader though)

greetings, martin.
