SUNNYVALE, CA -- November 07, 2006 -- Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today announced the LifeBook® P1610 convertible notebook, a 2.2-pound powerhouse packed with full PC functionality and enhanced with an 8.9-inch indoor/outdoor touch screen display for on-your-feet, on-the-go computing. Fujitsu also announced the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC, a new edition of its highly popular ultra-light 4.3 pound full-size convertible notebook featuring the high-performance, power-efficient Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor.

The Microsoft Windows Vista-capable LifeBook P1610 and LifeBook T4215 convertible notebooks, which deliver renowned Fujitsu reliability, are designed to meet the needs of mobile and field professionals in healthcare, field and sales force automation, and supply chain management who require the flexibility of a tablet for note-taking or navigating through forms-based applications, along with the traditional keyboard input of a notebook computer.


"Fujitsu, the pioneer in pen-enabled notebooks, is once again moving the category forward with market-driven features that change the way people work and impact the bottom line," said Paul Moore, Sr. Director of Mobile Product Marketing, Fujitsu Computer Systems. "For mobile professionals, particularly in vertical markets, whose work takes them to a variety of venues, both the LifeBook P1610 and LifeBook T4215 convertible notebooks have become indispensable for succeeding at their jobs. Additionally, the education market and end-user segment are showing strong interest in our convertible products."


The LifeBook P1610 notebook, powered by the Intel® Core™ Solo ULV U1400 Processor, is available with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 or Microsoft Windows XP Professional. A new 8.9-inch WXGA indoor/outdoor display combines the best properties of transmissive and transflective technologies for superior viewing. In indoor lighting conditions, a backlight illuminates the screen. In outdoor lighting conditions, a reflective surface within the LCD takes advantage of the sunlight to make the screen even brighter. If the outside light is bright enough, users can turn off the backlight completely, dramatically extending the battery life.

In addition, the display is touch sensitive, enabling users to quickly and easily navigate through applications and the Web using either a stylus or a finger. With up to seven hours of battery life, the LifeBook P1610 notebook keeps up with long workdays in the field or in the office.


The LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC now offers three 12.1-inch display options including a new indoor SXGA+ display, an indoor XGA display with wide viewing angles, and an indoor/outdoor XGA display with wide viewing angles. The industry's lightest convertible Tablet PC with a modular bay offers up to 10 hours of battery life with dual batteries without increasing the thickness of the system.


The LifeBook P1610 notebook joins the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC in offering the industry's first bi-directional display hinge, which turns the screen in both directions for added convenience. The notebooks' versatile design is complemented with durability delivered by the Fujitsu Shock Sensor utility, an accelerometer-based hard disk drive protection system that retracts the hard drive head if a sudden movement or vibration is detected, reducing the possibility of data loss. The sensor can also be set to password-lock the system if it is touched, preventing the unauthorized access of data.
The LifeBook P1610 notebook and the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC are packed with features to create a security-rich environment including Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2), built-in biometric fingerprint sensor, and BIOS support for Absolute Software's Computrace® computer theft recovery, data protection, and secure asset tracking software.


Both convertible notebooks make it easy to connect to the office network or the Internet with options including Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG or Atheros Super AG® (802.11a/b/g) WLAN, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, modem, as well as optional Bluetooth. In addition, the LifeBook P1610 notebook joins the LifeBook T4215 in offering a PCMCIA slot for use with popular accessories like cellular wireless WAN cards.
