New LIFEBOOK S7020 provides the frequent traveller with the latest mobile technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers

Building on the company's established reputation for light-weight, high performance products, the LIFEBOOK S7020 Series is accompanied by a range of modular options which enable the frequent traveller 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.

"We are really excited to be launching the LIFEBOOK S7020, because it further extends our leadership in the high-end notebook segment," says Susanne Lewitzki, Product Marketing Manager, 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."

The new LIFEBOOK S7020 Series also helps users to increase their productivity by incorporating the latest Intel® CentrinoTM Mobile Technology platform: the new Intel Pentium® M Processor generation and the Intel 915GM Chipset, faster memory technology to provide improved application and integrated graphics performance. In addition to the traditional interfaces, a separate PCMCIA ExpressCardTM slot has been included along with a PC card slot, enabling the LIFEBOOK S7020 to support existing and future notebook technologies.

Using Fujitsu Siemens Computers' built-to-order and made4you customizing service, the company 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 traveller's best friend, meeting all the challenges facing today's mobile 'road-warrior.'

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 importantly, 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 always remain in contact with their office, no matter what the circumstances.

Security is a major concern for the mobile user and the LIFEBOOK S Series comes with a number of features to guarantee the highest levels for security to protect user and company information. 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 unauthorized 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.
