NOTEBOOKS

Five-Pound Notebooks to Compliment Highly Successful Tablet Computer Line

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- June 5, 1995 -- Fujitsu Personal Systems today
expanded its line of mobile computing solutions with two
multimedia-capable notebook computers. The Fujitsu F450t, featuring an
active matrix LCD, and the F450c, with a passive matrix LCD are powered by
an Intel 486 DX2/50 processor, weigh just five pounds and feature a
SoundBlaster-compatible audio system. Both models incorporate Fujitsu
Battery Cache Technology, a unique battery management scheme designed to
provide mobile users with all day battery life.

"Our more than 180 partners have told us that while the demand for tablet
computing has never been stronger, there are significant opportunities
where a keyboard solution is optimal," said Lou Panetta, executive vice
president. "We are in the business of providing mobile solutions to
corporate customers, and the F450 models give us a powerful product
extension in the exploding mobile computing marketplace."

Designed to provide flexible mobile computing solutions to large
corporations outfitting their workers, the F450 models are available with
a number of options, including removable floppy disk drive, user
upgradable RAM to 24MB and either TFT or DSTN displays at 640x 480
resolution in 256 colors. The systems' sound capabilities are
SoundBlaster-compatible and include a built-in speaker, microphone, stereo
line input and a headphone or powered speaker output. Also included are
full recording and playback utilities.

Battery Life

Power consumption and battery life are a major factor in the implementation
of corporate mobile computing solutions. Fujitsu's Battery Cache
Technology, included in both F450 models, features a removable main
battery and integrated reserve battery. The benefit to the user is there
is always a battery on board, and the reserve battery is continually
charged while the system is running on external power. The F450's battery
solution can provide approximately 6.5 hours of power on use.

The F450 models feature a 340MB internal hard drive, one type II PCMCIA
slot, VGA port and keyboard with an integrated pointer stick instead of
trackball. At a total weight of just 5.0 pounds, the system dimensions are
10.2"x 8.3"x 1.9". Both F450 models come bundled with the Windows for
Workgroups operating system featuring 32 bit and networking I/O.

Both F450 models are available immediately through Fujitsu's VAR, systems
integrator and corporate aggregator channels. The suggested retail price
for the F450t, with the TFT screen configuration, is $3,995. The F450c,
with the DSTN screen, is priced at $3,299.
