Fujitsu Accelerates Mobile Computing With Six New Notebooks and Product Upgrades Based on Next-Generation Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor TechnologyIntroduces Two Light-Weight LifeBook T Series Convertibles With Larger 13.3-Inch Wide Displays, and Redesigns LifeBook A6210 Notebook With Gesture-Enabled Touchpad
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/15/08 -- Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today
debuted six LifeBook® notebooks powered by next-generation Intel®
Centrino® 2 processor technology offering increased performance and
longer battery life. Perfect for advanced users and consumers who want
desktop performance and sophisticated style on the go, the enhanced
LifeBook A6210 notebook features a stylish high-gloss black lid, bright
15.4-inch LCD display, wireless USB, faster E-SATA port, and a new
gesture-enabled touchpad that lets users control many functions though
simple finger movements for an enhanced interactive experience.
Showcasing Fujitsu design ingenuity, the LifeBook T5010 convertible tablet
PC, the successor to the Fujitsu flagship LifeBook T4220 convertible
notebook, and the new LifeBook T1010 convertible tablet PC are equipped
with a 13.3-inch display, and weigh in at 4.5 pounds and 5.3 pounds
respectively -- among the lightest convertibles with the largest displays
on the market. The enterprise class LifeBook T5010 convertible tablet PC
offers a modular bay that can accommodate an optical drive or a second
battery and supports Intel® Centrino® 2 with vProTM technology,
offering security and remote manageability on a chip. The LifeBook T1010
convertible tablet PC, which offers a fixed optical drive, and has all the
power of the LifeBook T5010 notebook without the additional high-end
security features required by enterprise customers, is more geared towards
consumers, small businesses and educational institutions. (see separate
release "Fujitsu Showcases Tablet Computing Design Expertise Introducing
Two New Thin and Light 13.3-inch Widescreen Convertibles").
The LifeBook E8420 notebook, the new powerhouse of the Fujitsu corporate
desktop replacement portfolio with comprehensive security features and
performance on par with a desktop PC, supports Intel® Centrino® 2 with
vProTM technology. Rounding out the Intel® Centrino® 2 powered
notebooks introduced by Fujitsu are the ultra-mobile 4-pound LifeBook S6520
notebook with a 14.1-inch widescreen Crystal View display, one of the
thinnest and lightest in the 14-inch class, and the thin-and-light LifeBook
S7220 notebook with a 14.1-inch anti-glare widescreen display and built-in
webcam.
"Fujitsu continues to integrate the latest Intel architecture to deliver
enhancements in performance and battery life, which provide our customers
with the power, features, and high reliability they need for an optimal
mobile experience," said Paul Moore, senior director of mobile product
management at Fujitsu Computer Systems. "With Intel® Centrino® 2
processor technology and our commitment to quality and customer service,
our customers are assured of getting exceptional value and performance,
whether they are consumers looking to combine mobility and great
entertainment, mobile professionals looking for maximum productivity, or
organizations, such as those in education, healthcare, and government, that
demand high performance and high quality on limited budgets."
"Fujitsu places a premium on delivering high-performance and reliable
notebooks with the best technology available in the industry," said Brian
Tucker, Mobile Marketing Manager, Mobile Platforms Group at Intel.
"Intel® Centrino® 2 with vProTM technology-based notebooks such as
the new Fujitsu LifeBook meet the needs of the mobile workforce while
providing many tools and new benefits designed to provide business value."
The LifeBook A6210 notebook offers two 15.4-inch wide-screen display
choices. Users can choose the Color Enhanced Crystal View display model for
an enhanced viewing experience or the standard power-saving Crystal View LP
display model. Both models feature an integrated HMDI port, which makes it
easy to connect the notebook to high-definition televisions. The gesture
touchpad translates finger movements into on-screen motions, for instance,
parting two fingers to zoom in on a photo, simplifying and accelerating
many activities.
The Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium operating system with Service
Pack 1 enables an integrated home-entertainment experience that includes
photos, music, video, and television. Options include faster 802.11n
wireless for up to 450Mbps of upload/download speed, and an E-SATA port for
faster data exchange. The LifeBook A6210 notebook also offers a choice of
shared or dedicated graphics, an external ExpressCard TV Tuner, a
fingerprint sensor for security and password management, and an optional
Blu-rayTM ROM drive.
