A light, compact notebook with enhanced security and long battery life, for the mobile professional.

Singapore, 27 May 2004 - Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific today launched the LifeBook P7010 for mobile professionals. Lightweight with a sophisticated pearl-white finish, the P7010 combines style with enhanced security, high-performance features and long battery life.

To satisfy security-conscious executives, Fujitsu has added advanced security features to the LifeBook P7010, including fingerprint recognition access, password protection for data and an anti-theft lock slot.

Myrchelle Ng, Marketing Communications Manager for Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific said, "Our customers are busy, mobile professionals and need the reassurance of reliable and secure access to their important business information. The P7010 is the first LifeBook, and among the first notebooks in the ultra portable category, to feature AuthenTec's TruePrint™ Technology for accurate fingerprint recognition."

"Fingerprint recognition locks down a notebook so that only the authorised user can log on and access data. It acts in much the same way as a password, but with greater security assurance as fingerprints can't be stolen or forged."

The LifeBook P7010 is the latest addition to Fujitsu's P series range and is designed to suit the specific mobility needs of today's executives. Smaller than an A4 page, the P7010 sits less than 3.5 centimetres high. Weighing approximately 1.4 kilograms, it is one of the lightest notebooks available, making it ultra portable for computing on the go.

The LifeBook P7010 features Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology providing longer battery life of up to 11.2 hours with an optional modular bay battery, and ensuring data and applications can be accessed and processed more efficiently.

To cater to the diverse computing requirements of executives, the LifeBook P7010 sports a range of connectivity interfaces, including network connections, wireless capability and USB 2.0 ports. A DVD/CD-RW Combo drive lets users read DVDs and CDs and also write CDs on the go. Users can store up to 60 gigabytes of data on the P7010's hard disk drive.

Smart design is a key feature of the LifeBook P7010, with the USB ports deliberately placed on the right hand side of the notebook for easy access. That means connecting and disconnecting USB devices, such as printers, digital cameras and storage drives, is now much easier.

The LifeBook P7010 is also built for entertainment; with its crisp, clear screen and Dolby surround sound it is ideal for movie watching and multimedia playback.

According to Myrchelle, the LifeBook P7010 is a fusion of style and function. "The cover of the P7010 has been designed with the end-user in mind; the magnesium alloy casing provides strength and durability, and the pearl-white textured finish, apart from looking cool and sleek, gives extra grip."

"Our customers value a high-performance machine in a small, portable package. Being able to provide this in a form factor that also looks great has been one of the key selling points for Fujitsu's P series notebooks. We expect sales of the LifeBook P7010 to perform even better than its predecessors."
