Capitalizing on the R&D into micro desktop design done by NEC Japan, NEC Computer Systems S.A. unveils the POWERMATE 2000, a radically different concept in corporate desktop computing.
What looks like a sleek flat-panel display is in fact an all-in-one desktop computer that incorporates all the features of a full-size desktop and a 15" TFT LCD display in an ultra compact footprint. A self-contained system weighing only 5.4kg and measuring only 270mm x 190mm x 380mm (WxDxH) with LCD Monitor and mounting kit, the POWERMATE 2000 combines some of the world`s best desktop and notebook engineering expertise.
Annalise Olivier, NEC`s divisional manager says ` The POWERMATE 2000 carries the NEC hallmark of superior design, innovation and technology and ushers in a new era of micro desktops - it occupies significantly less space than traditional desktops but still supports the latest processors and storage technology. The POWERMATE 2000 is perfect for markets in which space and/or aesthetics is of importance such as Call Centres, Kiosks and Research and Developments Laboratories
The POWERMATE 2000 is powered by an Intel Pentium III 600MHz processor and comes with 128MB SDRAM, a 12 GB Ultra-DMA SMART hard drive, 24X CD-ROM drive and floppy drive. It is also available with built-in 100Base TX/10Base T networking and two Type II PC Card slots for maximum connectivity. The Intel 810 chipset`s integrated Graphics Memory Controller Hub featuring Direct AGP, and an integrated sound controller deliver higher multimedia performance and more robust 2D and 3D graphics thanks to second-generation graphics technology.
The POWERMATE 2000`s sleek design weighs just 5.4kg, compared to a typical desktop that weights over 30kg, including monitor. POWERMATE 2000 also integrates a 15" flat panel LCD display (equivalent to a seventeen-inch CRT monitor) that allows for space conservation, has lower emissions, and reduces glare and eyestrain.
Models are available with Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and are NTSL Y2K compliant. All models come with a Recovery CD and on-line user manual.
