Lifting mobile productivity to new heights
A notebook and tablet PC in one: the new featherweight
LIFEBOOK P1510 from Fujitsu Siemens Computers
Munich/Germany, September 27, 2005 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT
manufacturer is raising the standard for mobile productivity with
its new ultra-light convertible notebook. The LIFEBOOK P1510 is the
lightest convertible notebook available offering both full notebook
and tablet PC functionality. With a weight of only 1 kg it is the
perfect mobile workmate for the traveling executive or field
salesperson. In addition the tablet features are particularly
suited for vertical markets like healthcare and insurance. The
LIFEBOOK P1510 convertible, featuring a long battery life and
state-of-the-art 8.9-inch touchscreen display, is available as of
November for prices starting at € 2499 (e.g. in Germany,
including VAT).
In addition Fujitsu Siemens Computers also paid special
attention to other aspects vital to buyers of mobile devices, such
as flexibility, design, performance and security. The LIFEBOOK
P1510 features Bluetooth technology and Intel® Centrino™
technology, which ensures ample computing power even under peak
loads and a long battery life, extendable up to max. 8.5 hours with
an optional six-cell battery (depending on product model,
applications etc.). Passive digitizer technology means any stylus
can be used to operate the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, while the
integrated fingerprint sensor delivers additional convenience and
security.
“Since identifying mobility as one of our
company’s strategic pillars in 2001, we have continuously
worked to expand our product portfolio and improve our mobility
features. With the LIFEBOOK P1510, we are launching a product that
unites cutting-edge technology with a stylish design,” said
Andreas Thimmel, Vice President Business Clients. “The
LIFEBOOK P1510 is currently the world’s lightest convertible
offering full mobile functionality. We see great sales
opportunities for it with managers and regular business travelers
as well as in vertical markets.”
User scenarios:
Meetings without paper or barriers
Say goodbye to walls of open notebooks and the old-fashioned
flip chart: notes can now be taken on the slate and sketches
presented via beamer. And since the notes can be saved directly
into the system there’s no need to type them up afterwards.
Vertical markets
Typical application areas include healthcare, banking and
insurance, retail, outside sales and market research. The light
weight (1 kg) makes work easier and more enjoyable: when in slate
mode, the stylus is all that is needed to run applications. At the
hospital, for example, patient data can be entered on the tablet
and then processed in notebook mode, since the LIFEBOOK P1510
doubles as a powerful office PC.
