"In addition, the LifeBook U772 Ultrabook takes security to the next level by offering an Intel Core vPro processor platform, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and a biometric fingerprint sensor, while the LifeBook UH572 Ultrabook adds Intel Identity Protection Technology."

"Fujitsu offers various configurations to suit different environments. One clever option is the FastOn feature, where the system boots from a cold start to login screen in just 13 seconds, meaning there is no need to leave an Esprimo PC running idle overnight just to avoid a lengthy start-up and login process. Network-based support is simple, since the Esprimo E710 and P710 ship with built-in Intel Standard Manageability," the company said.
Both the Esprimo E710 and P710 are offered in two models apiece: the E85+ with an optional 86-percent efficient power supply, and the E90+ with an optional 92-percent efficient power supply. Both desktops come with a number of configurable options spanning processor, memory, internal storage, GPU and other options.
New Fujitsu Esprimo PC models are globally available and will be rolled through various channels this month. Recommended pricing for the Esprimo E710 and P710 starts at $649 and varies by configuration. The Esprimo Q910 starts at $999.
