The ultra-portable Fujitsu Siemens’ LIFEBOOK P Series has a new member: LIFEBOOK P7120, the successor to the LIFEBOOK P7010.

The new LIFEBOOK P7120 weights 1.28 kg (without optical disk drive) and it is the lightest, fully-functional notebook available.

For a long battery life, Fujitsu Siemens Computers developed a unique EcoButton. This integrated software solution improves power management and allows for considerably prolonged battery life: one click is required to change all power settings without disrupting productive work, e.g. disabling optical disk drives and reduce display brightness. The EcoButton feature will be shared by all next-generation LIFEBOOK models. Adding a second battery to the LIFEBOOK P7120 battery life is extendable up to max 11.5 hours.

A biometric fingerprint sensor is standard. The LIFEBOOK P7120 is tied to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which acts as a hardware vault for passwords and encrypted keys. The hard disk drive shock absorbers reduce vibration to ensure higher data availability and prevent losses. The new notebook is VoIP-ready, featuring best speech recognition.

The LIFEBOOK P7120 will will begin shipping in November 2005.
