Taipei, Taiwan, September 8th, 2003 – Twinhead International Corp., an innovative developer and manufacturer of portable computers, digital cameras and LCD monitors, today announced its new efio!151i notebook series featuring Intel® Pentium® 4-M processor, a new 3D cooling system, 15” TFT-LCD monitor, high-performance DDR memory, outstanding video, exceptional connectivity, a built-in DVD-RW and a 'semi-rugged' design. All this in a small and pleasant design, and is best described with three words: intelligence, stability and elegance.

Intelligence
The efio!151i's outstanding performance is provided by 2.0 ~ 2.6GHz Intel® P4-M processor with a 200-pin DDR SDRAM double data rate memory module and a 400 MHz system bus for increased data transfer rates. Its Pentium® 4-M CPU is faster than ever thanks to a 512KB L2 cache and Intel's latest 0.13-micron technology. Its core logic is based on a VIA P4X266 chipset. The Twinhead efio!151i ships with fast 128 MB DDR SDRAM and can accommodate 640 MB of total memory.

Stability
A semi-rugged design, the new notebook standard, provides the brawn and toughness efio!151i needs to get the job done almost anywhere, under the severest conditions. Constructed with AMT or Advanced Manufacture Technology, semi-rugged design elements include muscular magnesium-aluminium housing design, employment of special materials to prevent shock damage to the notebook's hard drive or LCD screen, a CD-ROM lock to avoid accidental ejection and high reliability components for extra durability. Thanks to advanced drop protection, Twinhead efio!151i laptops pass the 26-side drop test and come with spill-proofing that protects the motherboard from liquids.

Elegance
Whilst the Twinhead efio!151i provides outstanding performance, its appearance looks both slim and elegant. Its bright magnesium-aluminium housing gives the efio!151i a stylish, high-tech look that is sure to draw admiring glances in the office, onboard a plane, on a busy factory floor or at a rough-and- tumble job site and in the home.

Advanced features
There is more to it than intelligence, stability and elegance. The Twinhead efio!151i is packed with advanced features which get the job done with both grace and power. Especially in laptop PCs, heat generated by fast chips can degrade performance and component longevity. Not with the Twinhead efio!151i. It features a new 3D thermal heat dissipation module that includes an Al-Mg base for efficient heat dissipation and a FUZZY-logic driven thermal fan that conserves battery power by raising fan speed only when additional cooling is required.

Its’ 15-inch XGA TFT LCD supports 1280 X 1024 resolution while its SXGA+ option supports 1400 X 1050 resolution powered by an Nvidia graphics core with AGP 4X hardware 2D/3D video graphic accelerators.

Three on-board high-speed USB 2.0 ports delivering 480Mbps transfer rates, an IEEE 1394 port for easy connectivity, an integrated 10/100M bit Ethernet LAN connection for ADSL or cable modems, a 56K V.90 fax modem, built-in S-video for connection to a TV set and IrDA for quick connection to another notebook, printer, or mobile phone all add up to outstanding connectivity. An optional module delivering WLAN, 802.11b, Bluetooth and GPRS can be added for additional communications power. Weighing in at only 3.1 kg - with its battery on board, the Twinhead efio!151i is tough enough to go anywhere and light enough to take anywhere.

The Twinhead efio!151i will be available soon. Further information is available from Twinhead Germany.
