Singapore, May 21, 2001 -
Fujitsu, leading manufacturer of computer products, has
launched the summer version of its versatile workhorse line,
the LifeBook S-4572 and S-4562. Both models are now running
on IntelŪ PentiumŪ III 750 MHz and 700 MHz processors respectively.
They are also using low voltage technology, which translate
to lower power consumption and cost savings.
The LifeBook S series has a modular option
that endows the notebook with up to six different capabilities.
This includes a combo (DVD and CD-R/RW) drive, PC Card slot,
second battery, SuperDisk and weight saver.
The LifeBook S-4572 is powered by an IntelŪ
PentiumŪ III processor 750 MHz with SpeedStepTM technology.
This model also features a 128 MB SDRAM and a 30 GB hard
disk. Meanwhile, the LifeBook S-4562 runs on a IntelŪ PentiumŪ
III processor 700 MHz supporting 20 GB of hard disk space.
The LifeBook S series both come with integrated
LAN and modem functions, leaving the PC card slot free for
additional connectivity options such as the Fujitsu BluetoothT
PC Card. The LifeBook also support the usual legacy ports
and two USB.
The Fujitsu LifeBook S-4572 comes equipped
with a 3-in-1 DVD-ROM/ CD-R/RW /CD-ROM drive. This means
that users can backup data or create personal CDs with the
8x/4x/32x CD-R/RW drive. Thereafter users will be able to
view and/or listen to such multimedia creations on the 12.1
inch XGA TFT colour display.
Despite the small size, Fujitsu has not compromised
on user-friendliness and ergonomics of the LifeBook S series.
The full-sized keyboard and touch pad, with additional scroll
button, ensure fast and accurate typing and navigation.
Both notebooks feature a security panel, which is located
just above the keyboard. With more than 800,000 possible
password combinations, a password can be programmed into
the notebook to prevent unauthorised usage. For easy access,
the user simply needs to key in the correct password to
power up the notebook. Four of the same buttons are also
programmable by the user for instant Internet connection
and email applications, as well as other user-preferred
applications.
The S series maintains its light weight of
1.7 kg (with weight saver), and has a battery lifespan of
approximately four hours*.
