the smallest footprint
Hanover, March 10, 2005 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider,
announces a new addition to its best selling, high-end,
professional notebook the LIFEBOOK S7020 Series. Building on the
company’s established reputation for light-weight, high
perform-ance products, the LIFEBOOK S7020 Series is accompanied by
a range modular options which enable the frequent traveler to
create a notebook that perfectly fits their needs. Customers are
now able to create the most manageable, ergonomic, secure and
mobile-user friendly notebook in the market place.
The new LIFEBOOK S7020 Series also helps users to increase
their productivity by incorporat-ing the latest Intel®
CentrinoTM Mobile Technology platform: the new Intel Pentium®
M Proces-sor generation and the Intel 915GM Chipset, faster memory
technology to provide improved application and integrated graphics
performance. In addition to the traditional interfaces, a sepa-rate
PCMCIA ExpressCardTM slot has been included along with a PC card
slot, enabling the LIFEBOOK S7020 to support existing and future
notebook technologies.
“We are really excited to be launching the LIFEBOOK
S7020, because it further extends our leadership in the high-end
notebook segment,” says Peter Eßer, Executive Vice
President Vol-ume Products and Supply Operations, Fujitsu Siemens
Computers. “We have spent a number of years perfecting
production techniques to enable us to offer customers the widest
possible choice of features for their notebooks. We believe that
the new functionality we offer in the LIFEBOOK S7020 gives
customers the most choice in the market place.”
Using Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ built-to-order and
made4you customizing service, the com-pany can build notebooks that
meet customers’ requirements and ensure a longer life-cycle.
There are three models all designed with differing 14.1-inch
display types to reflect the various needs of mobile workers. It
means the LIFEBOOK S7020 can become the frequent traveler’s
best friend, meeting all the challenges facing today’s mobile
‘road-warrior.’
Ultimate Mobile Tool
The LIFEBOOK S7020 series is 1.75 kg light and features a
crisp 14.1-inch display, which is available in three different
formats (XGA Glare and Non-Glare and SXGA+) . The modular bay
system enables mobile workers to opt for a wide range of devices
including CD/DVD/CD-R/RW drives or a multi-format DVD writer with
double layer support (DVD+/RW DL Writer). Most im-portantly, the
modularity of LIFEBOOK S7020 overcomes battery-life issues, because
users can opt for a second battery, which means the notebook can be
used practically all day.
With optional integrated Intel PRO/Wireless Wireless LAN and
Bluetooth V1.2 technology and two antennas to ensure the strongest
signal available, it means that the mobile users can al-ways remain
in contact with their office, no matter what the circumstances.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers now also offers the AVM
ISDN-Controller FRITZ!Card Express as an accessory, which is the
first ISDN solution for the PCI-Express standard for notebooks.
Unlike legacy PC cards this PCI Express card offers a new high
speed connection in the com-pact format which is compatible for
notebooks.
Security is a major concern for the mobile user and the
LIFEBOOK S Series comes with a num-ber of features to guarantee the
highest levels for security to protect user and company
informa-tion. The five hardware buttons on the security panel can
be used to enter an access code, which is prompted when the system
is booted. The buttons can then be used as quick touch buttons for
speedy access to important functions or specific applications. A
smart card controller is integrated in the PC card slot to allow
simple use of a smart card. The optional SecureIT suite offers a
series security features, including Windows access protection with
SICRYPT SMARTY, file encryption for data protection and password
protection with SmartCase™, email encryption with SmartCard
and SystemLock for pre-boot access protection with SmartCard to
block unau-thorized booting of the notebook. The hard disk drive is
also password protected to prevent fraudulent use of any stored
data. In addition the Infineon Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with
out-of-the-box encryption software and interfaces supports security
solutions that identify the LIFEBOOK S7020 on a company to enable
secure transactions.
Ergonomics
Ease-of-use and comfort remain important features of this
latest notebook, because it offers a brilliant 14.1-inch display,
which comes with different resolutions (XGA and SXGA+) depending on
the model chosen. The large screen makes it possible to view
multi-media in comfort and make elaborate presentations. The
notebook also offers the dual pointing device with an inte-grated
touchpad with 3 buttons, as well as an integrated touchstick, which
helps to increase ease-of-use and the user’s productivity.
Although light-weight the notebook remains highly du-rable and
robust, having to pass over 50 different extensive quality tests
and offering hard disk drive shock absorbers to minimize data loss
and guarantee higher reliability for stored data. Furthermore the
LIFEBOOK S Series is engineered with an intelligent material-mix of
different synthetics and magnesium to create a light-weight, stable
and robust notebook with a good cooling concept.
A wealth of interfaces, ranging from Firewire (IEEE1344) to a
media slot for SD or MS memory cards assures instant connectivity
to a wide range of accessories. The optional port replicator, which
is compatible with other LIFEBOOKs, makes connecting to the office
LAN and external monitor a snap.
Manageability
The LIFEBOOK S7020 also comes with the client management tool
DeskView® for easy and remote administration of the notebook.
In addition Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers IT man-agers the
option of the ManageIT Suites using Altris software solutions for
migration and control of multiple notebooks in corporate
environments. More complex solutions, such as the migra-tion of
operating systems, the remote installation of application software,
advanced hardware and software inventorying in multiple networks,
and license management, can be realized with the optional
ManageITSuite Migration and ManageIT Suite Controlling.
