For example, the new LIFEBOOK P701 offers a 12-inch display that fills the gap between the 14-inch LIFEBOOK S751 and the 10.1-inch LIFEBOOK T580. With the new line-up of LIFEBOOK notebooks, Fujitsu unveils new models that round-out the portfolio to meet a wider range of customer needs. These components are compatible with the 2010 generation models, too. The “true family” concept is a further enhancement and a consequent expansion of Fujitsu's existing family philosophy, which already makes sure that notebook modules such as the modular bay for DVD drives, the second hard disk drive, second battery and port replicator are interchangeable between LIFEBOOK E751 and LIFEBOOK S751. The first Fujitsu PC product lines to offer this concept are the new ESPRIMO P900 and ESPRIMO E900 series, while the LIFEBOOK E751 and LIFEBOOK S751 also share core notebook components.

For customers, this means they need only test one model to confirm that the entire product line is compatible with their environment.
The “true family” concept stands for the use of identical main components in Fujitsu systems, including motherboard, BIOS, front connector board, power supply and software images. Typically, companies must evaluate every PC and notebook model to make sure the hardware and software is compatible with their business. The new ESPRIMO PCs and LIFEBOOK notebooks are the first to feature Fujitsu's new “true family” concept, providing significant cost savings on maintenance, testing and evaluation. The new models immediately incorporate the 2nd generation Intel Core Processor Family with new 32nm Intel microarchitecture and an impressive leap in energy-efficient performance, announced today at CES. With the new generation, Fujitsu has rethought desktop and mobile computing design and focused on ways to provide cost- and time-savings throughout the entire product life cycle. Fujitsu today announces refreshed ESPRIMO PC and LIFEBOOK notebook families, including three new ESPRIMO models and nine new LIFEBOOK models.
