ntttttttttttt

Fujitsu Ltd on Tuesday announced across-the-line updates for its FMV-ESPRIMO desktop and FMV-LIFEBOOK laptop business PCs, comprising a total of seven series and 31 models.

In addition to improvements to basic features, such as CPUs, the new models are highly energy-efficient and meet both current standards under the international ENERGY STAR program and the program’s new standards that go into effect July 1. The FMV-ESPRIMO line includes a new model with industry-leading energy efficiency of 24W. In addition, by using power-saving liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), power requirements were reduced by roughly 30% compared to Fujitsu’s previous models. With its diverse and environmentally friendly lineup, Fujitsu offers PC models to meet the varied needs of its enterprise customers.

The FMV-ESPRIMO line complies with the latest international ENERGY STAR program standards. The FMV-D5180 model achieves industry-leading energy efficiency of 24W, for a 50% reduction in power requirement compared to the fiscal 2006 model. The use of power-saving liquid-crystal panels enables a 30% reduction in the power requirement for the VL-177SEL LCDs. Further power reduction is made possible by combining VL-177SEL with a switched convenience outlet.

The FMV-LIFEBOOK line also meets the latest ENERGY STAR standards. All models come standard with a battery utility function, which features a special 80% battery-charging mode that can extend battery life by 50%. The FMV-A8280 includes a widescreen 15.6″ LCD panel and Intel Celeron dual-core processor to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of users. All models also come with Windows Vista Business with an optional downgrade service.
