Dubai, UAE - Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT manufacturer, has launched the world's lightest convertible notebook, the LIFEBOOK P1510, at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) bolstering its already impressive mobility product portfolio.
The LIFEBOOK P1510 delivers full notebook and tablet PC functionality yet weighs just under 1kg. As the lightest convertible notebook available it is the perfect mobile workmate, whether on business trips or in the field, and particularly for vertical markets like healthcare and insurance.
"Since identifying mobility as one of our company's strategic pillars in 2001, we have continuously expanded our product portfolio and improved our mobility features. With the LIFEBOOK P1510, we have a product that unites cutting-edge technology with stylish design," said Susanne Lewitzki, Product Marketing Manager, Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
"The LIFEBOOK P1510 is currently the world's lightest convertible with full mobile functionality. We see great sales opportunities for it with managers and regular business travellers as well as in vertical markets."
Fujitsu Siemens Computers has enhanced several of its proven mobility features in the new LIFEBOOK. The LIFEBOOK P1510 convertible, featuring a long battery life and state-of-the-art 8.9-inch touchscreen display, has equal effectiveness whether in slate or notebook form.
"Typical application areas for the LIFEBOOK P1510 include healthcare, banking and insurance, retail, outdoor sales and market research. The light weight makes work easier and more enjoyable," said Lewitzki. "When in slate mode, the stylus is all that is needed to run applications. At a 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.
"Also, we can 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."
Fujitsu Siemens Computers has also paid special attention to other vital mobility factors, 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 to 8.5 hours with an optional six-cell battery. Passive digitiser 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.
