Something for everyone

Article Abstract:

The Fujitsu LifeBook 565TX, with an estimated street price of $3,999, features a 166MHz Pentium processor with MMX, 32MB SyncDRAM, 2.1GB hard drive, 12.1" TFT active matrix display, and a 20x CD-ROM. The unit also boasts an internal 363.6K voice/data/fax modem and lithium-ion battery. The LifeBook's elegantly simple design is pleasing to the eye, with the majority of connectors and ports thought-out and positioned well, with standard dual Type II PC Card slots and Media Connect bus on the left side, and external mic and speaker connectors, power switch, PS/2 port, theft prevention slot and AC power connector on the right. Picture quality on the LifeBook is top-notch, with a clear, bright display having minimal ghosting. Norton Utilities Multimedia Benchmarks display only around a 10% drop in performance when in the higher color mode. The unit scored a 47 on the benchmark tests, far higher than either the Sharp PC-9800 or Compaq Presario 1620.

1998: The year when "PC" means portable computer

Article Abstract:

In 1998 the term 'PC' will no longer mean personal computer in the business environment. Instead, PC will stand for portable computer. This is because IT professionals are realizing that it does not make sense to purchase a desktop system over a portable computer unless there is a critical feature that can only be provided by technologically advanced desktop PCs. Portable computers normally include everything users want in desktop systems. They also give users the extra capability to work away from the office. As notebook computers become equipped with fast Intel Pentium II microprocessors, larger video displays and DVD drives, they will operate as solidly as the best desktops on the market.
