Chip maker VIA Technologies and Everex Systems, a world leader in the design
and production of personal computers, unveiled an energy efficient StepNote
NC1500 notebook using mere 12W peak power.
With a 15.4-inches widescreen display with DiamondBrite Technology,
built-in wireless LAN and DVD burner, the mobile computer utilizes the VIA C7-M
processor to provide ultra-low power consumption, advanced security features
and 1.5GHz performance at a 12W peak power.
“Teaming up with VIA, Everex has been able to create an exciting new category
of energy efficient portable computers,” stated John Lin, VP-Sales, Everex.
“Unlike products which rely on costly, power hungry processors or potentially
hazardous batteries, the design of the NC1500 provides consumers with a true,
no-compromise alternative.”
According to the organization, utilization of VIA Enhanced PowerSaver
technology and VIA TwinTurbo allows the laptop to dynamically transit between
intermediate power states, providing users 20 percent longer battery life than
comparable systems.
“The latest notebook from Everex embodies the 'Simply Mobile' spirit of
the VIA C7-M processor in enabling truly portable computing,” commented Epan
Wu, Deputy Director-CPU Product Marketing, VIA Technologies. “With the best
performance-per-watt operation in the industry and innovative features such as
enhanced PowerSaver technology and the PadLock Security Engine, we are confident
that the NC1500 will be a front runner in the market yearning for robust mobile
solutions.”
In addition to the model NC1500, Everex offers consumers a full line of
desktops and notebook computers, available in over 2,900 Wal-Mart locations
throughout the US. Page(s) 1
