Twinhead Selects Fujitsu Mobile Hard Disk Drives for its Highly Robust Notebook PC


Sunnyvale, CA, January 3, 2007 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security solutions and Twinhead Corporation, a global leader in design, manufacturing and sales of award-winning, built-to-order, portable notebook computers, today announced that Fujitsu 2.5" 5400RPM hard disk drives (HDDs) will be featured in Twinhead’s ultra-rugged and durable notebook PCs.

A leading supplier of innovative notebook computers, Twinhead was the first manufacturer to bring ruggedized notebooks to the mass consumer market. The company’s groundbreaking mobile products are renowned for their resiliency even when accidentally dropped, or if liquid is spilled on the keyboard. Twinhead offers a comprehensive range of products, from an entry-level, highly rugged notebook for the first time buyer, to a muscular, full-featured product designed for the busy mobile professional.

In a continuous effort to deliver industry-leading products, Twinhead has chosen to equip its durable notebook PCs with Fujitsu mobile hard disk drives, which are well known in the industry for their exceptional performance and high reliability. Designed to deliver high shock tolerance, the Fujitsu 2.5" HDDs will help guarantee lasting performance of the notebook PCs. Additionally, low power consumption and other power saving features are attractive to users who are looking to extend the battery life of their product.

"Technology products in general and computers in particular have become so commonplace that hardly anyone thinks about the potential risks of taking their digital devices wherever they go," said Paul Kim, director of marketing, Twinhead Corporation. "The growing need for durable, real-word mobile computing is what drove Twinhead to produce the first ruggedized notebook PC line for the mass consumer market. Since their debut nearly a year ago, Twinhead’s DURABOOK products have redefined performance and durability for a new generation of active PC users who put their computers to the test."

"Fujitsu is honored to be selected by Twinhead Corporation as a supplier of hard disk drives for its ultra-durable notebook PCs," said Lorne Wilson, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. "We believe our robust storage products will help Twinhead stay ahead of their competition and continue to deliver high-level benefits to rugged notebook PC users worldwide."

Twinhead will be showcasing its latest notebook PCs, complete with drop test demonstrations, at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel during the upcoming 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
