Almost five months since its release, the DeskPower C600 personal computer from Fujitsu is being given the special-package treatment by distributors in Hong Kong.
The company has announced a special offer of HK$6,680 for the compact desktop PC and an extra HK$2,580 buys a 15-inch thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD).
This comes with the KaiOffice software suite, Labtec 325 2.1 speakers, Penpower Voice Writer software and Norman virus control and personal firewall software.
The machine's configuration is limited to Intel's 2.4-gigahertz Pentium 4 processor, 128 megabytes of double data-rate random access memory, a 40-gigabyte hard disk, a 3.5-inch floppy drive or compact disc re-writeable drive, a sound card, an English or Chinese version of Microsoft's Windows XP Home operating system and a three-year warranty.
When the DeskPower C600 was introduced to most Asian markets last November, favourable reviews focused on the PC's aesthetic design and space-saving, slim form.
Fujitsu marketed the DeskPower C600 against similar ultra-small desktops such as IBM's NetVista S42 and Dell Computer's OptiPlex SX260.
