Fujitsu has announced the first shipments of the new high-end business notebook, the LIFEBOOK P771.

The company said that the new notebook can work for 24 hours. It achieves battery runtimes of up to 18 hours by leveraging new generation Intel chipset technology and ULV (ultra low-voltage) processors, said the company.

The LIFEBOOK features a 12-inch screen and weighs 1.3kg. The notebook includes optional SSD (solid state) hard drives and an optional second battery.

In addition, the notebook comes with a modular bay that can accommodate a removable DVD drive and a second battery.

The notebook also features Advanced Theft Protection (ATP), an optional fingerprint sensor for fast and secure log-in, plus added data protection from the optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) available across most LIFEBOOK models.

Access to secure SmartCard logon is also supported via an optional ExpressCard slot adapter, to complement the comprehensive security package, said the company.

Fujitsu UK & Ireland mobile product marketing manager Brad Hagan said the LIFEBOOK P771 is one of their top of the range notebooks that will appeal to high-end users. Although it is primarily a business notebook, it also includes powerful multimedia that makes it useful from dawn to dusk; it’s a notebook that fits the lifestyle of busy executives, said Hagan.
