Singapore, July 31, 2001 -
Fujitsu is leading the pack with its most powerful notebook
to date. The flagship model LifeBook E-6656 runs on Intel®
Pentium® III processor 1.13GHz-M, the fastest available
within the mobile computing sector. To complement the performance
of this new processor, Fujitsu has included Intel®'s
latest 830MP chipset. Fujitsu's power-management software
has also leveraged on the unique qualities of the new processor,
thus providing an excellent battery runtime of up to 5.5
hours**. This desktop replacement is configured with an
Ultra DMA/100 hard disk, 256MB SDRAM (with the option of
increasing to it to 1024MB) and a 133MHz front-side bus.
Graphics are amply supported by 16MB of DDR RAM.
Built with the travelling executive in mind,
the new Fujitsu LifeBook E-6656 is designed to ease the
rigours of crunching, storing and distributing information
on the road. Through a modular design called the Device
Bay, Fujitsu endows the LifeBook E-6656 with the power and
flexibility of a multimedia desktop and more. The modular
bay allows more than eight options, from a second battery
to a 3-in-1 DVD-ROM / CD-R/RW / CD-ROM drive. Thanks to
the CD-R/RW capability, mobile warriors can now conveniently
back up their data on the go or generate copies of their
sales presentations. More importantly, the Device Bay allows
the notebook to maintain its sleek design and light weight
of 2.7 kg.
Besides the emphasis on power and functionality,
the LifeBook E-6656 also offers a secure system that corporate
executives can rely on. Its unique Security Panel consists
of five buttons located at the front. With more than 800,000
possible password combinations, this security feature can
be programmed into the hardware to protect the notebook
from unauthorised use. To power up the LifeBook, the user
simply needs to key in the pre-programmed password. Four
of the same buttons are also programmable by the user for
hassle-free launch of their Internet and email applications
as well as other user-preferred applications.
Fujitsu's emphasis on the notebook's ease
of use is evident in the full-sized keyboard, built-in Internet
modem and LAN. The LifeBook E-6656, like all other Fujitsu
notebooks, is endowed with a battery-bridging technology
that allows executives to swap batteries without having
to shut down the notebook, thus ensuring that presentations
can proceed with as little interruption as possible.
The Super XGA+ TFT LCD colour display also
offers hitherto unparalleled clarity and brilliance. The
ultra-high resolution gives added comfort and pleasure when
viewing DVDs and other forms of entertainment on the notebook.
The LifeBook E-6656 runs for approximately 3.5 hours* on
the standard battery and up to 5.5 hours* with a second
battery installed.
Availability
The LifeBook E-6656 is available from Fujitsu PC Asia's
resellers in mid-August 2001.
