FUJITSU INTRODUCES LIGHTEST, FASTEST TABLET PC FEATURING DESKTOP POWER AND
PERFORMANCE

Fast Intel 486DX2/50 CPU Powers Fujitsu Personal Systems' Rugged 2.6-lb
Mobile System Featuring Support for PCMCIA, Infrared Communications and
Standard Peripherals

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 10, 1994 -- In a move designed to set a new
industry agenda for light weight mobile computing, Fujitsu Personal
Systems, Inc. (FPSI) today introduced the Stylistic 500, a 2.6-pound
"tablet" PC powered by an Intel 486DX2-50 CPU, the fastest microprocessor
ever designed into a tablet computer. The Stylistic 500 combines
high-performance computing capabilities in a small form factor ideally
suited for markets such as insurance, transportation, utilities, consumer
packaged goods, pharmaceuticals and health care.

"With its blazing speed, feather weight and standard architecture, the
Stylistic 5()0 sets a standard for industrial-strength computing in a
tablet-size package," said Lou Panetta, executive vice president of
Fujitsu Personal Systems. "It has the power and expandability of a
high-end PC, but its size and communications capabilities provide vertical
market users the freedom of true mobile computing."

The Stylistic 500 features two expansion slots. One is an ATA slot for a
Type III PCMCIA-ATA hard disk card or a Type II solid state flash card.
The other accepts either one Type III PCMCIA card or two Type I/II PCMCIA
cards. The system features 4MB of random access memory (RAM) expandable to
20 MB. The tablet comes with two standard Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery
packs. It also features an infrared serial interface. The base computer
features parallel, serial, keyboard and floppy disk drive ports, and
support for an external VGA monitor. The Stylistic 500 comes with an
8-inch transmissive backlit, 64-level VGA screen featuring the sharpest
clarity in a dual monochrome display. The tablet supports MS-DOS 6.2,
Windows for Pen Computing, PenDOS and PenRight operating systems.

"Our customers told us they needed desktop processing power in a form
factor small enough to be easily carried in the field," said Fujitsu's
Panetta. "The Stylistic 500 is the long-awaited answer to that need,
because it enables powerful mobile computing without the bulkiness of
laptop computers."

Measuring 7.2" x 10.7" x 1.5", the Stylistic 500 tablet computer weighs
just 2.6 pounds with the standard Li-Ion battery packs installed. It is
the only tablet to come with standard low-cost batteries that can be
purchased at most consumer retail outlets. Fujitsu also offers an
extensive list of accessories for the Stylistic 500, including a keyboard,
desk stand, slipcase, harsh environment slipcase, and an in-vehicle cradle
mount.

Three Year Warranty

The Stylistic 500 is covered by Fujitsu's three-year warranty. At any time
during the three-year warranty period, Fujitsu will repair or replace
defective parts to the customers' base system at no charge. Fujitsu also
offers an unmatched warranty for its system displays. The No-Fault Display
plan covers the LCD display and digitizer for damage of any type,
regardless of cause, for up to three years at a cost of $150.

Pricing and Availability

The Fujitsu Stylistic 500 tablet computer will be available beginning in
November 1994, and is priced at $2,795, including a 105MB PCMCIA hard
drive, MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows for Pen Computing. The system may be
purchased without the hard drive and operating system for $2,285.
