2. Equipped with Windows 8 to improve productivity for enterprise customers

(1) Preserving the versatile compatibility of past Windows operating systems, while offering users a safer, more comfortable experience
The new Windows 8 models from Fujitsu employ a new Windows user interface to deliver a more intuitive and user-friendly experience, while simultaneously preserving versatile compatibility with conventional Windows-based applications and peripheral equipment. Furthermore, by making PCs lighter and faster, Windows 8 achieves faster boot and recovery speeds. In addition to faster speeds, Windows 8 delivers a significantly more robust security environment through features such as the Measured Boot virus detection function and Bit Locker Drive Encryption for high-speed encryption, enabling a high level of reliability when used for business.

(2) Optional configurations tailored to customers' unique business environments and plans
All models (excluding Q582/F) are offered in two configurations: a Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) Model or a Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) Standard Model (with SP1 preinstalled). Fujitsu is also offering a third option for customers who are considering upgrading to Windows 8 in the future, in the Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) SP1 (Windows 8 Pro Downgrade) Model. By offering different configurations, customers are able to select devices that fit their unique business environments and plans.
