Fujitsu to launch PCs with advanced disk drives

Author: 

Fujitsu said on Tuesday it would launch desktop computers equipped with Blu-ray disk drives in June in Japan. Fujitsu will be the first company to offer PCs with BD drives. Toshiba recently launched Notebook PC with HD DVD-ROM Drive.



Fujitsu also plans to launch notebook PCs with HD DVD drives in June, catering for both camps.

The new desktop PC from Fujitsu comes with a 37-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and is expected to sell for around 600,000 yen ($5,063), a Fujitsu spokesman said.

He added the notebook PC was likely to retail at about 400,000 yen — in line with the expected retail price for Toshiba’s HD-DVD compatible notebook PCs.

Another Japanese electronics maker, NEC Corp. (6701.T: Quote, Profile, Research), said on Tuesday it aimed to launch HD DVD-compatible personal computers by autumn this year and that it would consider offering PCs equipped with Blu-ray drives as well if there was demand.
