Known computer Fujitsu Siemens Computers corporations has developed and has released on the basis of the economic, efficient processor of Intel of Pentium M ULV ultraportable notebook LIFEBOOK Р7010. This computer realising processing technique of Intel Centrino, is now the most easy transportable arrangement in the class. It possesses high efficiency and wide functionality.

One of the major characteristics of modern economic mechanisms of the advanced countries is the escalating role of information technologies. The increasing part of the active population participates in information processing. It is promoted to no small degree by progress in the field of perfection of computer processing techniques. As the result of this process increases quantity of computers. Thus advanced rates carry out development and release of transportable computers. The compact, powerful notebooks supplied with wide multimedia functions and wireless communication facilities concern these computers.

Under forecast IDC in the future demand for notebooks will fast increase, anticipating other desktop computers. So, for example, in 2004 the sales volume of notebooks will increase by 25,9 % and on 20,3 % in 2005. Moreover, by estimations of some authoritative experts the given metrics of growth of release and implementation of this type of computers can be even essentially above.

Such metrics of growth are caused by escalating needs of consumers in transportable arrangements. At the same time the price level on such products remains comprehensible to a considerable part of the population of the developed countries occupied in the course of processing of the auxiliary and personal information. As a result of it the sales volume of the notebooks gained for a private use, according to IDC in 2004 will increase by 35,1 %, and for commercial usage — 20,5 %.

Responding to inquiries of the market, the computer industry increases production of notebooks, offering a wide spectrum of the given arrangements. The newest models released by computer corporations are capable to satisfy promptly increasing inquiries of individual and corporate users. Among these models well-known products of known computer Fujitsu Siemens Computers corporation which announced recently release of ultraportable notebook LIFEBOOK P7010. It is necessary to mark, that for today it is the arrangement is most easy in the world the transportable, compact computer in the class.

The accessory of notebook LIFEBOOK P7010 to "ultraportable" classification is mainly stipulated by its easy weight and the small size. However until recently it was necessary to do similar arrangements usually without modular bay. In new notebook LIFEBOOK P7010 this disadvantage at last is corrected: it can be equipped by a combo-drive, the multi-standard writing DVD-arrangement or the additional secondary generator. The given notebook weighs only 1,3 kg. It very compact. During too time this transportable computer is the functional and powerful computing circuit with wide multimedia possibilities.

Estimating the given arrangement, it is necessary to mark, that high parametres of this extralight and compact computer are substantially caused by usage of modern accessories. Thus the central units are the processor of Intel of Pentium M, Intel chip set 855GME and the adapter of a wireless network of Intel PRO / Wireless 2200BG LAN (802.11b/g) which make a basis of popular processing technique Centrino. It is necessary to add, that in given notebook LIFEBOOK P7010 efficient modification of the processor of Intel of Pentium M  — Intel of Pentium M ULV specially calculated for very low level of power of power supplies of a kernel is applied supereconomic, but   . As the result of it, the given model of the processor is characterised by very low heat release that has in turn provided a low heat release of all transportable computer system. Well and a consequence of it became low energopotreblenie arrangements.

Demonstrating of one of variants of specified extralight transportable computer LIFEBOOK P7010 was held during joint presentation by leading experts of Fujitsu Siemens Computers corporations and Intel.

Characteristics of the set of notebooks LIFEBOOK P

Models of the set of notebooks LIFEBOOK P are ultraortativnymi computers. They are created for modern businessmen. According to implementators of Fujitsu Siemens corporation, computers of the given bar of notebooks ideally correspond to image of modern business ladies, but it is impossible to deny, that well will approach also to business men. It is linked by that they very easy: models of this set weigh only 1,3 kg. At the same time they are functionally sated arrangements.

Notebooks of this set are equipped by the disk drive on hard disks of rather big information capacity, the built in drive of CD/DVD, the bright and contrast display. In addition to told, it is the first ultralaptops which at the small sizes and weight are equipped by the built in drive of CD / DVD super multi and have the bright great display. Thanks to small weight of model of this set will not be burdensome in trips and as these arrangements possess mesh sizes, they easily are located even in a ladies' handbag.
