Fujitsu LifeBook B5010 - Extends The Performance of Every Professional

Up to six hours battery life unplugs the modern executive and allows them to excel anywhere, anytime

Singapore, 12 November 2003 — The LifeBook B5010 offers professionals the best of both worlds - a powerful, wireless-enabled laptop that weighs just 1.4kg (or even as light as 1.25kg with an optional 3-cell battery).

Taking advantage of the latest Intel® Centrino™ Mobile Technology ultra low voltage processor, the LifeBook B5010 offers high performance computing and seamless wireless connectivity without compromising on battery life. A built-in dual antenna provides optimal wireless performance, and the wireless LAN switch allows users to disable function when not in use to conserve power.

Raymond Foo, Associate Director, Marketing, Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific says that modern executives asked Fujitsu for a powerful yet lightweight notebook. "The LifeBook B5010 provides unparalleled computing power and wireless connectivity without a heavyweight battery pack."

"The B5010 performs up to 12 hours with an additional six-cell battery and still weighs less than 1.75kg. It is safe to say that this is the first laptop to really deliver on portability," Mr Foo says.

With such a stylish form factor, the LifeBook B5010 needs an effective multi-layered security feature. The B5010 comes with BIOS lock, hard disk lock, LifeBook lock and anti-theft lock slot for data and hardware protection. Smart Card support also provides flexibility in expanding security functions to the corporate users.

The LifeBook B5010 enhances connectivity with four USB 2.0 ports (two on the B5010 and two on the port replicator), PC Card slot and CF card slot. The port replicator allows users to connect to all peripherals (external display, audio system, user interface devices such as mouse and desktop keyboard) and frees them from the hassle of frequently connecting and disconnecting cables.

The sound and visual display of the LifeBook B5010 utilises an impressive 12.1" XGA TFT display at 1024 x 768 pixels resolution backed by stereo speakers and the Sound Effect Manager Utility to create various audio profiles and configure sound effects.

Fujitsu PC has also been one of the first to address customer requests for a more ergonomically-designed notebook by raising the foot-base of the B5010 slightly so that the keyboard is comfortably tilted closer to the user.

"We are constantly looking for new ways to improve our range of laptops. Small changes can make a big difference and one of those is in the foot-base of the LifeBook B5010. With many professionals spending considerable amounts of time in front of their computers, we found that just a couple of degrees difference in the angle of the keyboard can improve their overall user experience," Mr Foo concluded.
