Singapore, 10 March 2004 - Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific today released the latest two notebooks in their award-winning S series - the LifeBook S6210 and LifeBook S2020. Both models offer corporate, SOHO executives and students a high performance, wireless-capable notebook with a polished and slim form factor.

The LifeBook S6210 uses a carbon fibre ABS base chassis, thin and lightweight LCD panel and magnesium alloy LCD back cover to reduce about 100g from the previous model. The S6210 weighs approximately 1.65kg with a weight saver option or 1.85kg with the standard DVD/CD-RW Combo drive.

Powered by Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology, the LifeBook S6210 offers Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG network connectivity (compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless standards) that improves network access speed and delivers an enhanced mobile computing experience. This connectivity is further enhanced with a dual antenna for optimal wireless reception. For corporate users, the LifeBook S6210 also comes with 802.11a support.

With an impressive 13.3" XGA display and a hot-swappable DVD/CD-RW Combo drive, users can enjoy a comfortable display with the ability to hot-swap to other bay options such as a weight saver or bay battery. In addition, the LifeBook S6210 offers a DVD±RW drive bay option, which allows rich multimedia playback of most DVD formats.

The notebook provides a wide array of connectivity options with three USB 2.0 ports and when executives choose to use the standard and optional battery bay, the S6210 has an extended battery life of up to eight hours.

Raymond Foo, Associate Director, Marketing, Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific said, "Our LifeBook S series is renown for its powerful functionality in a lightweight form factor. The S6210 and S2020 are ideal business tools for corporate and SOHO executives looking for a wireless notebook that weighs less than 2kg."

"We also expect strong interest from the education sector. The sleek designs and smooth edges combined with an improved keyboard with dedicated PageUp, PageDown and inverted-T cursor keys will make typing essays and designing class multimedia presentations much easier for students," Mr Foo said.

Fujitsu's other enhanced notebook in the S series is the LifeBook S2020. This notebook offers excellent value and performance on a thin and light machine.

Weighing less than two kilograms, the LifeBook S2020 offers a crisp 13.3" XGA display and comes with a hot-swappable DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive that makes it ideal for movie-viewing and rich multimedia playback.

Powered by an AMD Athlon™ XP-M 2100+¹ (Low Voltage), QuantiSpeed™ architecture with 3DNow!™ Professional and AMD PowerNow!™ Technology, the LifeBook S2020 effectively increases notebook battery life while delivering performance on demand.

Supporting 802.11b/g wireless connectivity, the LifeBook S2020 also comes with dual antenna to improve reception and increase network access speed.
