"The innovations in the Ultra Mobile PC and convertible notebooks delivered by Fujitsu complement the touch and pen features of Windows Vista, providing consumers with computing essentials and flexibility for work and play on the run," said Darin Fish, Director, PC3 platforms, Microsoft.

"Intel mobile technology enables a wave of innovative and powerful new notebook PCs, allowing OEMs like Fujitsu to bring to market very small, yet powerful PCs with the great battery life users are looking for," said Karen Regis, Intel Consumer Marketing Manager.

With the power to run all standard applications, the LifeBook U810 mini notebook functions like a traditional notebook with an ultra-slim QWERTY keyboard, or by swiveling the WSVGA Crystal View illuminated screen, as a handheld Tablet PC with a touch screen for finger or pen input. The mini convertible, equipped with the energy efficient Ultra Low Power Intel(R) A110 processor is available with Windows Vista(R) Home Premium, Windows Vista(R) Business, or Windows(R) XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.

The system's standard four-cell battery delivers up to 5.5 hours of computing time, perfect for a cross-country flight.(1)
