Singapore, March 27, 2007 — Fujitsu has been awarded the prestigious red dot: best of the best product design award for distinction in high quality product design. It was given this honour at the 52nd international “Red Dot: Product Design 2007” awards.

The winning product was the LifeBook Q2010, which has a stylishly slim design and an immaculate finish.

The international red dot design award ranks among the largest and most renowned design competitions in the world. This prestigious title is given to products of outstanding innovation, functionality and quality, an elite seal of quality for exceptional design and stands for membership to the best in design and business.
