Fujitsu Notebook Innovation on DisplayLifeBook U820 Mini Notebook Offers Integrated Garmin GPS, LifeBook N7010 Desktop Replacement Provides Dual LCD Displays
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/04/08 -- Fujitsu
Computer Systems Corporation today announced notebook innovations that
satisfy consumer and corporate demand for greater mobility and usability.
The 1.32 pound LifeBook® U820 convertible mini notebook, the first mini
notebook combining full-featured Windows® PC functionality with
integrated Garmin Mobile® PC navigation software, provides powerful
computing and complete GPS navigation for about the same price as a premium
GPS system. The LifeBook N7010 desktop replacement notebook is the
industry's first full-size notebook to include a second Touch Zone display
for keeping more information visible at all times without cluttering the
main desktop.
Powered by the Intel® Centrino® AtomTM Z-series processor, the
LifeBook U820 mini notebook with integrated turn-by-turn, voice-prompted
navigation from Garmin eliminates the need for
on-the-go consumers and mobile professionals, particularly in the field
force and sales force automation areas to carry separate devices for
computing and navigation. The LifeBook U820 mini-notebook's 5.6-inch
Crystal View wide XGA touch screen is the ideal viewing screen offering a
similar viewing area to standalone GPS systems. Its improved QWERTY
keyboard features an extra set of rows for more comfortable typing and a
zoom utility for easier viewing.
The LifeBook N7010 has not one, but two LCD screens encased in a sleek
glossy black housing. The primary screen is an impressive large, 16-inch
wide-aspect Crystal View Display which delivers brighter images and richer
colors, while a second 4-inch Touch Zone touch screen enhances productivity
by keeping information, such as photo slide show, CD/DVD controls, or
application shortcuts visible at all times for seamless multitasking.
Instead of minimizing applications, consumers can have two live
applications running at the same time by dragging one into the Touch Zone.
For example, they can work on a large file on the main screen and chat on
the webcam below.
Fujitsu also announced the LifeBook P1630 feather-light and compact
convertible tablet PC featuring the new Intel® Centrino® 2 Ultra Low
Voltage processor technology, integrated wireless broadband and a webcam.
