Sydney - 8 May, 2008 - NEC Computers (NEC) today unveiled its new Japanese designed and manufactured ultra lightweight notebook, the 12.1” NEC VERSA S9100. Tipping the scales at a mere 1.2kg with internal DVD Burner and battery, as well as a full suite of connectivity options, this sleek black stunner is targeted squarely at the mobile professional.
Built using a magnesium alloy chassis engineered to be both light and strong and utilising a number of cutting edge industrial design techniques, the VERSA S9100 achieves an impact resistance rating of a massive 300kgf (300kg per square foot of pressure) for the NEC embossed top cover. This built in resilience ensures the safety of the LED backlit, and ‘Super Shine View’ coated, 12.1” screen. To keep your data safe and secure, the S9100 uses a Hard Disk ‘Free Fall Sensor’ to park the heads of the drive should it detect an impending hit as result of a drop or even excessive vibration. A fingerprint reader and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) are included to round off the data protection suite.
Designed for the mobile professional, practicality was as high on the design agenda as well as achieving svelte good looks. Of significance is the inclusion of an internal DVD-RW drive as well as practical connectivity including Bluetooth, Intel AGN Wireless, SD card reader, PCMCIA Slot and two USB 2.0 ports in addition to VGA and audio sockets not to mention the 6 hour battery. All included in the 1.25kg chassis.
Ensuring the S9100 isn’t all beauty with no brawn, an Intel® Core™2 Duo ULV Processor provides the best possible balance between performance and endurance whilst the 1GB of Intel® Turbo Memory and SATA Hard Drive guarantee the performance of a much larger and more power hungry notebook.
“Customers look to NEC to deliver the best in power and design, and we stayed true to that tradition when building this truly mobile powerhouse notebook. The S9100 is a reliable companion, an essential business tool that offers high performance on-the-go to expand business opportunities. It comes with a powerful battery life and complete security features to combat long-haul travelling needs,” said Tim Falinski, Regional Director of NEC Computers Australia.
Designed, tested and manufactured under stringent quality control standards in Japan, the S9100 utilises advanced technology and manufacturing techniques for assured quality and reliability. The S9100 has undergone vigorous testing and assessment to ensure safety standards are met from the development stages right through the manufacturing process.
“The NEC VERSA S9100 series provide business users with a mobile solution delivering all the essential features they need, including stable fundamental performance and long lasting connectivity. It has a unique combination of security, protection and elegance style. Data protection and password management is assured in both a wired and wireless environment. This notebook provides a peace of mind computing to all travellers and professionals,” Falinski added.
As part of NEC’s corporate vision, the new notebooks are RoHS compliant and built to environmentally responsible guidelines and a carbon neutral manufacturing process. The latest NEC VERSA S9100 will be made available in all NEC authorised resellers and has a RRP of $3499.
