...high street? When I first started uni in the UK 4 years ago, around a third of my friends had Fujitsu-Siemens laptops. They were selling well all over Europe: my English friends had Fujitsu-Siemens, and so did my Dutch friends, German friends and Polish friends.
Then around 2 years ago, Fujitsu-Siemens vanished from the high street. Curry's, PC World, John Lewis, Argos, and the gigantic computer superstores I visited in Poland... no one seemed to be selling Fujitsu-Siemens computers anymore. Now the only places you can buy Fujitsu laptops in the UK are a few business-oriented online retailers (none of the major ones) and specialist "business IT solutions" shops. Fujitsu, anyone? What the heck is that, some Japanese delicacy?
So why has this happened? Other computer brands are doing all right in Europe, and Fujitsu continues to do a roaring trade in Asia. For the record, I have a Japanese Fujitsu laptop which I bought in Hong Kong; it's the most solid, reliable computer I've ever used.
203: Thanks a lot for your answer. But surely, that is true all over the world? What I would like to know is, what makes the European market different from, say, the Asian and American markets where Fujitsu still markets to home users?
