Fujitsu and Fujitsu Siemens Computers unveiled the new LIFEBOOK E8110 featuring Intel Napa technology at CES 2006 in Las Vegas. With a 15" monitor packed into just 2.4 kilos, the new LIFEBOOK E8110 is claimed to be the lightest, full-function notebook in its class. It also provides enhanced security features such as a separate SmartCard slot and optional fingerprint sensor. It will be available from February 2006 at prices starting ˆ2099 (e.g. in Germany, incl. VAT).

Fujitsu Siemens Computers delivers enhanced performance thanks to Intel's Napa technology boasting the Intel Core Duo processor, the first dual-core processor for notebooks.

Security functions have also been improved in the LIFEBOOK E8110. The separate SmartCard slot saves an additional adapter and optional biometric fingerprint sensor prevent unauthorized access to data. The optional Trusted Platform Module acts as a hardware store for passwords and encrypted keys.


Also, for its new device generation, Fujitsu Siemens Computers uses the latest 5200 mAh battery. The new LIFEBOOK E8110 will run off its batteries for up to 12 hours (depending on model and applications), the press release states.
