Key Features of the Spring 2012 Models 1. Stronger on fundamental performance and design
(1) The high-performance Intel® Core™i7 Processor available
on more models
The high-performance Intel® Core™i7 Processor available on
more models
For effortless playback and editing of high-definition
video, as well as other processor-intensive tasks, the
Intel® Core™i7 Processor comes standard with notebook
computers LIFEBOOK AH77/G, LIFEBOOK AH56/G (wide-format
15.6" LCD models), and on the desktop computers
ESPRIMO DH77/G (wide-format 24" LCD attachment
models), ESPRIMO FH77/DG (wide-format 23" LCD models),
and ESPRIMO FH56/GD (wide-format 20" LCD models). This
brings additional power to midrange models as well as
high-end ones for smoother operation.
(2) Better design
ESPRIMO EH30/GT (wide-format 20" LCD model) has been
updated with a sleekly rounded and compact design. With a
depth of only 18 cm, it takes up little desk space.
Combined with its light weight of 5.8kg, the display tilts
continuously through a range from 10° to 30°, making it
easy to position for optimal viewing. ESPRIMO EH30/GT is
available in two color choices, Snow White and Ocean Black.
LIFEBOOK AH56/G (wide-format 15.6" LCD model) is now
available in the new color Aqua Blue.
The LIFEBOOK SH family (wide-format 13.3 LCD model) of PCs is designed with a slim, lightweight body, making the computer easy to slip into a briefcase and carry along. All PC models in this line are equipped with solid-state drives for extreme speed, making it the choice for maximum portability without compromising on performance. Quick Start and WiMAX() allow the computer to quickly start up as well, making it a truly mobile PC for users to fully enjoy during the upcoming spring season.
(1) Mobile computers: extremely slim, light, and
long-running
In order for it to be genuinely mobile, the PC is equipped
with a Super Multidrive and designed with a slim and light
body with great battery life, enabling users to take it
anywhere. SH76/G, measuring only 23.2 mm at its thickest
point (16.6 mm at its thinnest), is the world's
thinnest notebook computer(). This design is complemented
by its ultra lightweight body, which weighs only 1.34 kg(),
and 12.9-hour battery runtime()
(2) Outstanding mobile performance
All models are equipped with solid-state drives (with a
capacity of approximately 128 GB) for faster startup times
and processing speeds. Combined with the Quick Start
feature, the computers can be up and running in six
seconds. With WiMAX built in, users can get fast Internet
connections even when out and about.
These notebooks have been designed for durability, having undergone clamshell load testing of approximately 200kgf(). Even the stick-shaped AC adapter has been redesigned to save 65 g() for improved mobility.
3. More convenient, more enjoyable
(1) Quick Start (feature carried forward)
The new models carry on the widely-praised Quick Start
feature that delivers a usable desktop only six seconds
after pressing the power button, minimizing wait time and
enabling the quick use of the PC. Shutting down the system
is easy as well: simply press the power key again and the
PC turns off immediately.
Quick Start can operate in two modes() to suit the way people work: 1) Quick Mode, which maximizes speed, and 2) Eco-Quick Mode, which balances startup time with power conservation.
(2) My Photo Museum: revisit special moments and
memories
The FMV Series can select photos to suit a season or event
from among those taken by the user, and automatically put
them into a digital photo album. These digital photo albums
can be accessed through My Photo Museum "admission
tickets" (special screen icons). By clicking on these
"tickets", the user can view the photos in
slideshow format. With FH77/GD, which has built-in speech
recognition(), the user can produce new screen icons by
uttering specific instructions to the computer while
viewing a particular slideshow, in turn creating new
personalized photo albums.
(3) Automatic face detection: recognize people in
photos
With the FH77/GD, Corel® Digital Studio for FUJITSU's
face-finder feature() will automatically detect and
identify people in photos. As this feature can be used to
select not only one person but multiple people, it becomes
easier to find photos of family members or friends
together.
(4) F-Launcher: quickly launch your favorite
applications
Simply clicking an icon in the launcher saves users the
trouble of searching through the Start menu to find their
favorite applications. New applications or folders can be
added to the launcher through a simple drag-and-drop
operation, making it easy for every user to customize it to
their needs.
(5) Easy Web Login: simpler website authentication
Easy Web Login is a unified manager for all the different
IDs and passwords users need for the various websites they
visit. By keying in a simple four-character password, Easy
Web Login will take care of entering the specific
information each website requires. Passwords can be
comprised of numbers, colors, or icons, for speed and
personalization.
Conservation Navigator() is a new feature that offers users two ways to approach power conservation on their computers: Easy Conservation and Strict Conservation. As every setting can be scored, users can obtain a better sense of how their actions contribute to saving electricity.
(1) Easy Conservation
Users are guided through their options with recommended
settings for screen brightness, screen sleep time, and
computer sleep time, making it easy for even beginners to
set their computers up correctly.
(2) Strict Conservation()
A detailed dashboard allows Strict Conservation users to
view and manage power settings at a glance. To change a
setting, users select the parameter from the overview
display to open a parameter display, making it easy to
fine-tune the system.
