후지쯔가 노트북을 구입하면 평생동안 3년주기로 새로운 노트북을 무료로 제공해 주는 "LIFEBOOK'4'LIFE" 프로그램을 진행하고 있다고 합니다. 아쉽게도 우리나라에서 후지쯔 코리아가 운영하는 프로그램은 아니고 영국에서 "후지쯔-지멘스"가 운영하고 있고 영국에 거주하는 16세이상의 사람들에게만 해당되는 프로그램입니다. 1인당 또는 한 회사당 10개의 노트북까지만 LIFEBOOK'4'LIFE 프로그램을 통해 살수 있고 계약당사자가 사망하거나 회사가 문을 닫으면 해당 제품에 대한 무료 노트북 제공은 중단됩니다.
이 프로그램은 후지쯔 라이프북을 대상으로 하는데 노트북을 구입한뒤 구매 영수증을 계속 보관하고 있어야 합니다. 영수증이 없으면 새로운 노트북을 받을수 없다고 합니다. 또한, 3년에 한번씩 업그레이드를 해주는데 업그레이드 요청 하는것을 잊어도 새로운 노트북을 받을수 없답니다. 잊지 말고 3년마다 새 노트북 신청을 해야하니 업그레이드 날짜를 기억할 수 있도록 기록해 놓아야 하겠지요.
그밖에도이 프로그램을 통해산 노트북의 제품등록을 구입후 21일이내에 해야하는등 구매자가 지켜야 할 조건이 꽤 까다롭습니다. 하지만 이 조건들만 잘 지킨다면 3년마다 새로운 노트북이 생기는 것이니 잘 지켜야 하겠죠. 후지쯔-지멘스는 이외에도 Esprimo제품에 대해서도 구입후 노트북이 고장나 수리해야 하는 상황이 오면 구입금액을 되돌려주는 행사를 진행하고 있다고 합니다. 하지만, 이 역시도 제품 표면의 스크래치나 모니터 액정화면의 작은 화소가 죽는 문제, 모니터 깨짐, 바이러스 감염, 열쇠 분실, 소프트웨어 문제, 구입한뒤 1년이 지난 제품의 배터리 문제등은 해당이 되지 않는 등 조건이 까다롭다고 하네요.
LIFEBOOK'4'LIFE 프로그램의 자세한 계약조건은 아래에 있으니 관심있는 분은 열어 보시고 영국에 사시는 분들이 있으면 좋은 노트북 기회가 되겠네요. 이 프로그램은 올해 10월 1일 부터 시작되었고 2009년 3월 31일까지 진행된다고 합니다.
