Fujitsu PC announces the arrival of its full-featured 1.3kg LifeBook P8010
10/03/2008 10:57:00

Sydney, Australia, March 10, 2008 – Fujitsu PC Australia proudly inaugurates the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 from its LifeBook range that is already renowned for its compact, power-packed notebooks. The remarkably light 1.3kg1 LifeBook P8010 and powered by the next generation processor - Intel® CoreTM2 Duo Processor SL7100 is targeted for those looking for a host of business-oriented functions, promising to be the ideal companion for professionals constantly on-the-go with the added flexibility of using at home and not being pinned down to a particular desk.

 
David Niu, Senior Product Manager, Fujitsu PC Australia explains, “Without a doubt, this is the must-have notebook of 2008, even for those who don’t believe in compromising style for power and vice versa. Wherever you are, you can be certain of being thrown looks of envy from geeks and fashionistas alike yet knowing you are also holding a full featured notebook that is big on storage, battery life.
 
Inspired by the bamboo, the LifeBook P8010 is an icon of outstanding design combining form and function to create a robust yet elegant notebook. The LifeBook P8010 high-gloss cover reveals a unique accent line across it, mimicking the joints of a bamboo. From an industrial design perspective, this gives the LifeBook P8010 a more robust exterior, able to protect its slim form factor from unforeseen accidents while travelling.
 
Abound with functions; the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 is big on lifestyle possibilities. Made possible by Fujitsu’s SlimEdge Design innovation, it’s designed to let users enjoy spectacular graphics on a brilliant 12.1” Wide 1280 x 800 dots WXGA SuperFine TFT display, with a brightness rating of 300nits, 400:1 Contrast Ratio and 45% Color Gamut. This computing companion also features a Dual Layer DVD Super Multi Writer so you can write and copy data on-the-go. For those who can’t sleep on long haul flights, the P8010 offers a long battery life of up to 6.1 hours , so owners certainly have the option of taking a mundane flight to new heights of cinematic experience.
 
The LifeBook P8010 is powered by the next generation processor - Intel® CoreTM2 Duo Processor SL7100 (1.2GHz/800MHz/4M L2 cache) with a Mobile Intel® GS965 Express Chipset and Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN network connection. This personal companion has an impressively high storage capacity of up to 250GB, supports up to 4GB in memory size and is built with 1GB Intel® Turbo Memory  to turbo charge the responsiveness of the system. Doubtless, the P8010 will win the hearts of the businessman who needs his many documents on hand in soft copy as he shuttles from meeting to meeting and the MP3-loving premium leisure user who craves huge disk capacity.
 
With all the rave about connectivity these days, you can’t go wrong with the LifeBook P8010. In fact, it comes up tops in this area with its integrated 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera and internal microphone for seamless VoIP experience and Internet chats, not to mention its port replicator (optional) for quick access to all your desk connections without any additional desktop PC required. The P8010 also provides further flexible communications options with Bluetooth as well as a built-in SD memory slot for convenient transferring of music, pictures and data. Considering that the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 is so compact, it offers a surprising option of three USB ports to further enhance connectivity – as many as laptops twice its size!
 
The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 comes equipped with a stylish operation panel featuring function buttons that light up with a blue LED and a LifeBook logo lighted by a white LED. Both are illuminated when the notebook is powered up, upping the style factor of the P8010 this season’s must-have notebook. To ensure smooth operation for the comfort of users, the P8010 is also designed with a larger than usual touchpad. The user-friendly touchpad measures 70mm (L) by 43mm (W) and 81mm diagonally. Such detail that goes into Fujitsu LifeBook notebooks is a true testimony of Fujitsu’s commitment to set new benchmarks in design, features and benefits.
 
Worried about intellectual property theft or the stealing of privileged information?
 
The LifeBook P8010 makes complex security simple with its Fingerprint Sensor for fast access and data protection and the 3D Shock Sensor for decreasing the risk of damage to the Hard Disk Drive, thus prolonging your notebook’s lifespan and pre-empting the possibility of unnecessary and potentially expensive data loss.  The P8010 even has the ability to prevent theft as it automatically locks your notebook when sudden movement is detected. Without your password, unauthorised users will not be able to gain access to your notebook. The finger-print reader also functions as a scroll.
 
Owners of the LifeBook P8010 will be pleased to know of its Spill-resistant Keyboard, for those who enjoys a cup of coffee over a meeting or even the idea of referring to online recipes while cooking, the P8010 will not stand in the way of whipping up a storm from the boardroom to the kitchen! With so much to offer, it almost seems like it is no coincidence that, for the P8010, ‘PC’ very appropriately stands for ‘Personal Companion’.
 
Fujitsu remains firmly committed to the promotion of a cleaner environment, complying with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS) across our entire range of products, allowing Fujitsu to stay keenly focused on our customers’ health and well-being, embracing a healthier environment for all.
