- NEC Technologies, Inc., introduced the ProSpeed 486SX, the industry's first
- laptop to offer a large 10.4" thin film transistor (TFT) active matrix LCD
- with 800 X 600 pixel resolution.
-
- Featuring 16 shades of grey, the ProSpeed 486SX is a high-resolution
- monochrome version of NEC's color laptop (the ProSpeed 486SX/C) introduced
- earlier this year. With its unsurpassed active matrix Super VGA display,
- the ProSpeed 486SX laptop allows users to see 33 percent more information
- on the screen than conventional laptop computers. This allows better
- viewing of client presentations, CAD/CAM graphics and scientific drawings,
- and greater utilization of multi-window environments.
-
- Powered by Intel's 486SX 20 MHz processing chip, the ProSpeed 486SX laptop
- holds more power than a 386/33 MHz computer, and at 16.7 pounds, is the
- lightest laptop on the market with a full-size Extended Industry Standard
- Architecture (EISA) expansion slot. The built-in, 32-bit EISA expansion
- slot provides optimal growth and flexibility for networking, LAN data
- analysis and engineering applications.
-
- "We are extremely pleased to be able to, once again, take portable
- computing to a new level by providing the industry's first laptop with TFT
- LCD and 800 X 600 resolution," said Bob Levin, director of marketing for
- NEC portable computer systems. "The ProSpeed 486SX is a high-performance
- laptop for professionals executives requiring Super VGA display quality,
- fast processing power and EISA expansion capabilities."
