Fujitsu releases a notebook with embedded projector

Fujitsu Unveils World’s First Notebook Bay Projector For Presentations Anywhere

Fujitsu today unveils the latest ‘must-have Edevice for the business professional: the world’s first projector built in to a modular notebook bay. The fold-out Fujitsu Bay Projector is ready to use in seconds and means no external beamer or external cables are required to share slides, spreadsheets or viral YouTube videos with colleagues or friends.

Available from July as an option for the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P771 and LIFEBOOK S761 notebooks, the patented Fujitsu Bay Projector adds convenience and mobility. Set-up is simple: the built-in beamer is immediately ready to use once the lens and bulb are folded out of the DVD-size modular bay and clicked into place.

The Bay Projector works on almost any surface. Brightness and keystone correction are adjusted directly via built-in buttons, and laser beam technology provides high contrast and color depth to guarantee crisp, clear images. In addition to its portability, the Bay Projector is quieter and more robust than a traditional beamer, whose lens bulbs are easily damaged.

At the end of a long day for business travellers, the Bay Projector can also double-up as a hotel room personal cinema, where it can be used for playing back movies on a bigger screen, providing more comfortable viewing.

The Bay Beamer extends the flexibility of modular bays in LIFEBOOK notebooks. When not in use, the Bay Projector can be easily removed and replaced with a modular second battery, a DVD Super Multi drive, or simply a weight saver.

Dieter Heiss, Head of Workplace Systems at Fujitsu Technology Solutions says: “Every business notebook user knows the scenario of arriving at an important meeting ready to give a presentation, only to discover that the projector is broken, missing or just won’t work with their notebook. The Bay Projector solves that  Eand underlines how LIFEBOOK models are truly a fully-mobile office. What’s more is that projecting images directly from a notebook’s modular bay is not only a world first but also very convenient  Eso we expect the Bay Projector to quickly become a ‘must have Eexecutive accessory. E

The Bay Projector module is available to order beginning July 1, 2011 across the CEMEA&I, United Kingdom, Ireland and Nordics regions  Einitially in LIFEBOOK P771 and LIFEBOOK S761 models. Pricing is around EUR 499 but varies according to region.

Shanghai Tang Mandarin Collar Society

REORIENT YOURSELF”

Instead of the traditional necktie, the Shanghai Tang Mandarin Collar Society champions the modern, chic alternative of the mandarin collar. Shanghai Tang Executive Chairman, Raphael le Masne de Chermont, said, “It is a club with the goal to promote an elegant Chinese-inspired style for men. It’s an alternative that allows you to reorient yourself, to be stylish while being yourself.”

THE WORLD’S LEADING MEN UNITED FOR ONE MISSION

The timely, compelling and slightly cheeky initiative unites men who are shaping the world in diverse fields, such as sports, business, politics and the arts. To spearhead the effort, Shanghai Tang has appointed MCS Ambassadors, including British sprint champion Linford Christie, Michelin star chef Pierre Gagnaire, world renowned pianist Lang Lang, Gavin Newsom mayor of San Francisco among others

We, the Mandarin Collar Society (MCS), believe:

• Neckties are often discarded when men reach a certain level of success and achievement.
• The Mandarin collar shaves precious time off the morning ritual, offering instant style at the snap of a button – no knots necessary.
• The Mandarin collar liberates men from the frustrations of fussy color coordination and accessorizing, which also means there’s less to pack when travelling.
• Neckties lead to global warming, using up finite resources when manufactured, and requiring more air-conditioning to battle summer heat. The Mandarin collar is the green option.
• Neckties are stain magnets; the money spent on dry-cleaning could be allocated to necessities such as golf clubs.
• Neckties serve no practical purpose except as something for adversaries to grab in a fight, and choking hazards.
• Who needs a secret handshake when the Mandarin collar sends a stylish message of brotherhood at a single glance?

MCS chapters

The Mandarin Collar Society (MCS) is an exclusive invitation-only fellowship of elites who champions a modern Chinese chic style for men – an alternative elegance symbolized by the Mandarin collar.

MCS chapters have been successfully launched since 2007 in the cosmopolitan cities of New York, London, Hong Kong and Singapore. The MCS China chapter will be launched in July 2011. In addition, new members will be invited to join the other MCS chapters to re-invigorate the brotherhood.

The MCS is founded by Raphaël le Masne de Chermont, Executive Chairman of Shanghai Tang. Amongst the founding MCS Ambassadors and members are: founder of Shanghai Tang – Sir David Tang, British Olympic sprint champion Linford Christie, Michelin star chef Pierre Gagnaire, world renowned pianist Lang Lang and cellist Yo Yo Ma, Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom, acclaimed song composer Dick Lee.
