Ultra-portable Hot Favorite - Now Larger Screen and Lighter

Hong Kong, November 19, 2001

Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific has enhanced the corporate favorite LifeBook S series with a larger LCD display, FireWire connectivity, enhanced audio support yet still managing to make it lighter! The S series meets the needs of performance-conscious mobile users who want all-round capability for work and play. Battery performance has also been lengthened up to 7.9 hours*.

Security

The Security Panel located just above the keyboard comes with a mind-boggling 800,000-combination password capability. 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.

Multi-tasking Capability for Work and Play

The LifeBook S-5582 series addresses the trade-off in weight versus feature by its modular design. Called the Mobile Slot, the S series notebook can take on the capabilities of ultra long life (2^nd battery), entertainment (DVD), practicality (CD-R/RW), and storage (SuperDisk).

Entertainment and Backup Options

The Fujitsu LifeBook S-5582 comes equipped with a 3-in-1-combo drive (DVD-ROM/ CD-R/RW /CD-ROM), enabling its users to back up crucial data or transfer large volumes of information cost-effectively. With the addition of the IEEE 1394 'FireWire' port for high-speed data transfer, the LifeBook S series now claims true end-to-end capability to edit video and create VCDs on-the-go.

More Speed, More Power

This combination of performance and portability in the S series is delivered through the use of Intel®'s power-saving processor, the Mobile Pentium® III Processor-M, supporting SpeedStep™ technology. It runs up to 800MHz with 512KB secondary cache integrated and a 256MB SDRAM. Video RAM has been increased to 8MB, thus enhancing the playback of various video formats such as DVD or streaming video. The LifeBook S-5582 can pack up to 30GB of work, fun and games.

Connectivity

The LifeBook S series both come with integrated LAN and modem, leaving the PC card slot free for additional connectivity options such as the Fujitsu Bluetooth™ PC Card. The LifeBook also supports two USBs.

Enhanced User Experience

Despite the small A4-file size, Fujitsu's emphasis on user-friendliness and ergonomics are apparent in the full-sized keyboard. The Mobile Slot features a catch located at the side of the notebook which allows the modular option to pop out whilst the notebook is placed in a horizontal position. This is an important convenience feature as the user does not have to interrupt his work by tilting the notebook into an awkward position to change modular options.
