July 18, 2005 SLI-Consulting launches CELSIUS H230: the powerful portable workstation for complex applications

 Featuring outstanding graphics and computing capabilities, brilliant display and long-lasting batteries

 The upcoming SMPTE05 Exhibition and Conference trade fair (July 18-22 in Sydney) will be the stage for the launch of the new CELSIUS H230 from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. This powerful mobile workstation was designed primarily for professional graphics applications such as digital content creation (DCC) visualization and but is also ideal for CADD/CAM. The Intel® 915PM Express chipset with the latest Intel Pentium® M processor and Intel Centrino™ Mobile Technology provide the basis for the system’s extraordinary computing performance.
 
The CELSIUS H230 has an outstanding high performance, which increases the productivity of mobile power users. The most impressive feature is its graphics capabilities, thrust into a new dimension with 256 MB graphic memory thanks to the new OpenGL graphics subsystem-capable ATI Mobility™ FireGL™ V5000 3D graphics accelerator, which utilizes new PCI Express technology. The brilliant 15-inch IPS liquid crystal display is easy on the eyes, while the two batteries enable cable-free operation for up to six hours.

What people have to say
“The Fujitsu Siemens Celsius H230 notebook I tested surpassed my expectations of a workstation class notebook, outperforming our workstations in several tests. This type of machine gives our organization the flexibility of "take anywhere 3d" - whether that's to our client’s office, on location for a shoot, or simply to our meeting room where there are no workstations. I'm also very impressed at its sturdiness, light weight and overall design.
”Chris Spry – Head of 3D/theLaBsydney
 
Sensational presentation with ergonomic IPS display
The high-resolution UXGA display (1,600 x 1,200 pixels) is based on IPS (in-plane switching) technology. At the same resolution, the brilliance and sharpness of IPS displays is superior to conventional models, remaining clear and focused even at a 170-degree viewing angle.
 
Security features
Engineering, simulation and finance data also need to be protected at all times. This is where the multi-level security concept of the CELSIUS H230 enters the picture. It features a security panel and BIOS, boot and hard-disk passwords, as well as an optional SmartCard reader.
 
Diverse connection possibilities
The extraordinarily functional CELSIUS H230 comes with a comprehensive range of options to keep users connected regardless of location. Network connections are seen to by a Gigabit LAN port, V.92 modem and WiFi 802.11 b/g wireless LAN. Four USB 2.0 ports, an IEEE-1394 FireWire interface and a BlueTooth module ensure smooth interaction with a range of external devices, from the keyboard, mouse, camera, printer and scanner to external hard disks and mobile phones. A ModularBay for optical drives, additional hard disks and batteries is standard on the new workstation, as are slots for PC cards and ExpressCards as well as SD and MMC cards. External analogue and digital displays, meanwhile, can either be hooked up via the VGA port on the system or the DVI on the optional PortReplicator.
 
Software certification
Thanks to our strong relationships with numerous independent software vendors (ISVs) and solution providers, the CELSIUS H230 is ISV-certified for all established DCC, visualization, CADD/CAM and finance applications. As a result, users can count on comprehensive software support from these partners.
