Fujitsu Goes High on Graphics Power and Low on energy with LifeBook S6520 and S6420
Understanding that mobile professionals of today value not only style and power but also earth-friendliness, Fujitsu puts on its innovative prowess once again to create computing products with extreme power-efficiency, stunning display and superior graphics performance.
Sydney Australia – 02 September, 2009 – Fujitsu PC Australia today brings the desirability of its popular thin and light laptops up yet another notch by launching the new Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 and S6420. Integrated with the latest graphics processor engine, the S3 Graphics Chrome 430 ULP, these new computing gems enable new possibilities in energy-saving and graphics capability.
Mr. Joseph Lau, Product Manager says, “Fujitsu constantly redefines lifestyle by building new innovations upon proven ones so that users can enjoy more of the good things – portability, visual pleasure and functions with less of the undesirable things – energy wastage, weight and hassle. Our latest products are a testament to the maxim of infinite possibilities as they come with a discrete graphics solution that supports Microsoft® DirectX®10.1 to offer superior image and texture rendering performance while allowing the machine to stay cool under the hood with industry leading power-efficiency architecture.”
Fujitsu LifeBook S6520
The sophisticated S6520 impresses with a luminous black magnesium cover and ultra-thin profile, which opens up to unveil an impressive 14.1” Wide SuperFine Back Light LED screen housed in a 13.3” Wide form factor – the widest display in a 13.3”W form factor, thanks to Fujitsu’s award-winning SlimEdge Design. Expect no less than a terrific viewing experience with crystal clear picture quality with a brightness rating of 300nits. And now with the S3 Chrome 430 ULP with PowerWiseTM technology for an optimal balance between performance and power, get set to experience superior graphics performance. Besides providing best-in-class graphics performance that supports Microsoft® DirectX®10.1, the S6520 also supports high definition quality playback with the ChromotionHD Video Technology for just the perfect viewing experience.
The SlimEdge Design has thrilled demanding computer users worldwide – with edges only 5.6mm wide, it offers an additional 12.5% active display surface as compared to other notebooks of a similar size range. This wide screen also realises the possibility of launching two applications in a horizontal layout to bring about optimal display space for the professionals. The Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 wins hearts with its incredibly light 1.7kg body, making it exceptionally easy to bring around.
With the S6520, it is a breeze to enjoy Instant Messaging and to experience other converged communications instantaneously as it has a built-in 1.3 Mega Pixel Web Camera and Dual Built-in Stereo Microphones. The LifeBook S6520 is powered by the latest refreshed Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology, while supporting the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, with an Intel® PM45 Express Chipset and Intel® WiFi Link 5300AGN (3×3) for wireless connection to enable both indoor or outdoor business and social activities.
Knowing that long battery life matters to professionals on the move, Fujitsu built the LifeBook S6520 with a 6-cell Li-ion 5800mAh battery that offers up to 3.5 hours of usage and even more if you turn to its new high capacity 2500mAh bay battery for back-up. This battery can be stored in the swappable modular bay of the S6520, which can also function with a weight saver when the optical drive is not in use. In addition, the modular bay has a Dual Layer DVD Super Multi writer to guarantee compatibility across the gamut of CD/DVD types, particularly CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM.
Security issues are kept in absolute check with the LifeBook S6520 with advanced security features including the Fujitsu 3D Shock Sensor, BIOS Lock, LifeBook Lock, Hard Disk Lock and an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that protects confidential data from prying eyes. With its Fingerprint Sensor, you can also gain instant access to encrypted data with the swipe of a pre-registered fingerprint.

MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX COMES TO DVD – OCTOBER 14.
MELBOURNE, Wednesday, 2 September 2009 – Madman proudly presents the hilarious, celebratory new Australian box office success, MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX – Available on DVD October 14, 2009, $34.95srp.

It’s kind of a love story, about a family dealing with all the big questions and even more of the small ones. Set over one messy year, Ross and Natalie, and their two kids, Louis and Ruby, navigate nits, faith, Christmas, job insecurity, footy practice, more nits, and the mounting issue of whether they will ever manage to have sex again.
Another critical and commercial success in this resurgent year for Australian film, MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is the second highest grossing Australian film of 2009. Having takrn over $1 million at the Australian box office – and considering LOOK BOTH WAYS multiple 2005 AFI wins – MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is an obvious contender for a raft of AFI Award nominations this year.
MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX is just one of the DVD release highlights in Madman’s 2009 Iconic Australian Films campaign, which will also include several other remarkable 2009 releases in WAKE IN FRIGHT, LAST RIDE, SAMSON & DELILAH and BALIBO.
The MY YEAR WITHOUT SEX DVD release will include an extensive list of bonus features; including two audio commentaries, deleted scenes, the ‘Life as it Happens’ making-of documentary, stills and an Australian Teachers of Media study guide.
