Taipei, Taiwan, September 24th, 2003 – Twinhead International Corp., an innovative developer and manufacturer of portable computers, digital cameras and LCD monitors, today announced its efio! 141i notebook series. The efio!141i is powered by Intel Mobile 2.0~2.4 GHz Pentium 4 or Celeron Processor-M chips with a 400MHz system bus for increased performance, P4-M CPU with 512KB L2 cache and Intel’s latest 0.13-micron technology. Its core logic is based on a SIS M650 chipset. The Twinhead efio!141i ships with 128 MB DDR SDRAM onboard and can be optionally equipped with IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN, Bluetooth or GPS.

The efio! 141i is constructed with AMT (Advanced Manufacture Technology): Semi-rugged design elements include magnesium-aluminium housing design, employment of special materials to prevent shock damage to the notebook's hard drive or LCD screen and a CD-ROM lock to avoid accidental ejection and high reliability components for extra durability. Thanks to advanced drop protection, Twinhead efio!141i laptops pass the 26-side drop test and come with spill-proofing that protects the motherboard from liquids. This new notebook standard provides the toughness efio!141i needs to get the job done almost anywhere, under even the most adverse conditions.

Twinhead efio!141 delivers intelligent features - without the costly extras many users don't use and don't want to pay for. Topping the list of intelligent features is its 3D thermal cooling module.

The efio! 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.

Solid video performance is a must for users working under a variety of conditions.
