Japan-based Fujitsu, a leading provider of ICT-based business solutions, has enhanced the battery runtime of its new Lifebook notebooks by as much as 75 per cent from the previous series.

“Notebook users need to be able to depend on the battery life of their notebooks,” said Chandan Mehta, product manager at Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

“We all know there’s nothing worse than trying to get work done on a long journey only to find the battery life dipping into the red low power zone just as you’re getting into your stride.”

“Energy-efficient notebooks and batteries translate into more efficient work days for users. For notebook users who are constantly on the road, struggling to find a power socket to juice up their notebook until the next stop can be time consuming and frustrating,” Mehta added.

Fujitsu Lifebooks have always had long battery runtimes; the latest generation of Li-Ion batteries and a second battery in the modular bay extend these even further, a statement said.

By using advanced technologies such as low tolerance, well-matched circuitry and energy-efficient LED displays throughout the portfolio, Fujitsu’s Lifebooks are more efficient than ever, with the Lifebook E780 reaching a battery runtime of as much as 18 hours, the statement added.

Fujitsu’s EcoButton offers another boost to battery life, by giving users a simple way to save energy and extend battery runtime.

With the touch of a button, users can switch off the most resource-hungry functions such as Firewire (IEEE 1394), card slots, optical disk drives as well as reducing display brightness, according to the statement. – TradeArabia News Service
