Fujitsu Adds Style and Substance to Three Corporate and Consumer LifeBook Notebooks

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/14/08 -- Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today announced that three Fujitsu LifeBook^® notebooks have been enhanced with new features that make mobile computing faster, safer and more stylish. The LifeBook A6220 desktop alternative notebook gets a dose of pizzazz with swappable tartan patterned color lids, while the LifeBook P8020 and LifeBook T2020 ultra-portable notebooks get performance boosts with the new Intel^® Centrino^® 2 Ultra Low Voltage processor technology.

The LifeBook A6220 notebook with a 15.4-inch Crystal View WXGA display -- previously enhanced with the latest Intel^® Centrino^® 2 processor technology -- joins the LifeBook A1110 notebook in offering the industry's first swappable lids. Mobile professionals can choose from a tartan pattern in indigo, red or gold -- and change lids by simply snapping them onto the LCD cover.

In addition to offering next-generation processor technology, the LifeBook P8020 notebook features a gesture-enabled touchpad. Both the LifeBook P8020 and LifeBook T2020 notebooks will offer solid state drive options later this year.
