DIGITAL LOWERS PRICES ON MOST OF ITS HiNote NOTEBOOK PCs

MAYNARD, Mass. -- March 13, 1995 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced price reductions of up to 19 percent on four Digital HiNote
color notebook models in the United States, Latin America, and the
Caribbean. The list price reductions range from $200 U.S. to $770 U.S. on
four of the five HiNote models.

The HiNote family, designed and engineered by Digital, sets a new standard
for notebook computing. The HiNote family offers full functionality,
combined with industry leading design, ergonomics, and aesthetics in a
light and thin form factor. The breakthrough design of the HiNote family
-- including a 9.5 inch full color screen, full-size keyboards, sculptured
palm rest, and a unique ambidextrous trackball, to name only a few -- come
in a 1.5 inch high, 5.5 pound package. When introduced last fall at
COMDEX, BIS Strategic Decisions reported that "the HiNote notebooks were
the hit of the show based on the crowds in the Digital booth...Digital has
entered the mobile market with a vengeance, rising from obscurity to star
status overnight."

"With the growing popularity of the HiNote line and a full production ramp,
we are passing the resulting savings on to our channel partners and
notebook customers," said Skip Gladfelter, Americas marketing vice
president, Digital Personal Computer Business Unit. "The HiNote family is
powerful, practical, and attractive, while averaging 21 percent smaller
and 12 percent lighter than notebooks with comparable functionality -- at
a highly competitive price," he added.

The systems covered by the price changes are the following:

                                               Old U.S.    New U.S.
