Display Capabilities

Benefits

SVGA Color Displays

The Stylistic LT comes with a truly portable outdoor and indoor color, or a sharp, TFT display for high performance color presentations.

Color Transflective (CTF) — The Stylistic LT's color transflective (CTF) display uses natural sunlight to increase effective contrast in outdoor applications, and provides a backlight for use indoors, in shady conditions or at night. It supports up to 4,096 colors.

TFT Color — With excellent contrast and color depth, the Stylistic LT's rich TFT color display supports up to 262,144 colors and a wide viewing angle, making it easier to share information with co-workers or clients. In addition, the fast TFT display provides great multimedia performance, enabling clear viewing of full-motion video.

SVGA 800 x 600 Resolution

Support for Super VGA (SVGA) 800 x 600 resolution makes the Stylistic LT ideal for use in applications that require high information density and complete compatibility with desktop systems.

Simultaneous External Monitor

The Stylistic LT supports simultaneous use of the unit’s LCD and an external monitor, perfect for presentations and training. The video chipset supports external resolutions up to 1024 x 768 (XGA) with 65,536 colors.

Panning

The Stylistic LT's SVGA display can be panned (scrolled) across a larger XGA image, simply by touching the pen to the edge of the display. This allows programs written for higher-resolution displays to run without difficulty on the Stylistic LT.

Zoomed Video

The Stylistic LT is one of the few pen tablets to offer Zoomed Video (ZV). By streaming video directly from a PC Card to the graphics controller, the audio controller and the frame buffer, ZV eliminates the need to send video and audio data through the CPU or system bus. This simple and effective method uses the well-defined PCMCIA mechanical standard to bring full-motion video (at 30 frames per second) into the portable environment.

CPU, Memory and Storage

Benefits

233 MHz Pentium MMX Processor

The Stylistic LT features a 233 MHz Intel Pentium MMX processor with a 32 KB internal (L1) cache and 512 KB Level 2 (L2) cache, delivering notebook performance in a pen tablet. This power enables the Stylistic LT to keep pace with demanding enterprise and multimedia applications.

High-speed Memory

The Stylistic LT features 64 MB of high-performance synchronous DRAM memory to meet the needs of Windows 98 and memory-hungry applications.

MCM Technology

Using just 30% of the board space required by conventional packaging, Fujitsu’s state-of-the-art Multichip Module (MCM) technology enables higher chip density in a smaller space and more efficient thermal design. This improves heat dissipation and performance while controlling weight in a compact form factor. The Stylistic LT's MCM includes the CPU, half of the core logic chipset, and the L2 cache.

Large Capacity Hard Disk Drive

The Stylistic LT uses an internal 2.5" Ultra ATA hard disk with 4.3 GB capacity. This massive storage capacity makes it possible for the Stylistic LT to easily handle the growing size of enterprise applications, such as remote database software, mapping, and multimedia presentations.

Shock-Mounted Hard Drive

The hard disk in the Stylistic LT is shock-mounted, using exclusive technology developed by Fujitsu. The shock mounts extend the shock and vibration resistance of the 2.5" hard disk up to six times that of a standard notebook’s hard drive. Since the hard disk is the most sensitive component in the entire system, this significantly increases the overall ruggedness and reliability of the Stylistic LT.

Connectivity

Benefits

Connectivity

The Stylistic LT provides connectivity compatible with the latest industry standards. Connectivity includes PC Card (CardBus), IrDA, Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio system (incorporating an internal speaker, microphone and headphone jacks), USB port, docking contacts and a connector to the unit’s optional mini dock.

Wireless Keyboard

With the optional wireless keyboard and portfolio case, users enjoy immediate connectivity for drafting quick meeting notes, just like on a notebook. Used with the mini dock, it instantly transforms the Stylistic LT pen tablet into an office powerhouse. The keyboard runs on standard AAA batteries.

Mini Dock

The Stylistic LT's mini dock has an adjustable viewing angle and allows a wide variety of desktop peripherals to be connected to the unit in seconds. It enables single-motion, drop-in connectivity for an RS-232 serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, external monitor and floppy drive ports; an RJ-45 network jack and DC-in.

High-Speed LAN Option

For mobile users who need to connect to their network when they return to the office, the Stylistic LT offers the ideal solution: an optional built-in 100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN controller. Used with an RJ-45 jack in the mini dock, it enables a high speed hook-up to the company LAN to access and transfer updated information.

IrDA Port

The Stylistic LT's integrated FIR (IrDA 1.1) port supports point-and-shoot infrared printing and connectivity with other IrDA devices at an impressive 4 Mbps speed.

Battery and Power Management

Benefits

Advanced Power and Heat Management

The Stylistic LT employs a multi-level approach to achieve power and heat management that is unsurpassed in the industry. The key building blocks include the excellent processor power management capability provided by Intel's 430TX chipset and the complete implementation of APM 1.2 in the Stylistic LT's BIOS.

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) 1.0 is also supported. ACPI, which supercedes APM, allows the operating system (and hence the application) to gain complete control over power management, thus reducing dependency on hardware-specific BIOS implementations.
