Business Editors/High-Tech Writers
ADA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 1998--Peripheral Enhancements
Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers of computer
memory
products, announces the immediate availability of memory upgrades for
Micron's
new GoBook Series notebook computers.
Peripheral Enhancements will offer GoBook memory upgrades ranging
from 16Mb
to 64Mb. By utilizing these upgrades, the memory of the GoBook Series
can be
boosted from the standard 32Mb of non-removable memory to a maximum of
96Mb.
The new GoBook Series features a battery which is actually a base
plate
that fits directly onto the computer, rather than plugging into the
computer.
The base plate is a detachable 2.1 pound lithium-ion prismatic base,
which
gives users up to 11 hours of operation, greatly expanding the users
mobility.
"Portability and mobility are simultaneously enhanced with the
incorporation of the base plate in the GoBook Series," said
Peripheral's
Director of Product Development, Ed Nelson. "This technology is
extremely
beneficial to individuals traveling long distances, or even those who
simply
have difficulty remembering to recharge their batteries."
The 4.5 pound unit also includes a traditional removable
lithium-ion
battery which gives users up to three hours of running time, and choice
of
Intel's 233 or 266MHz Mobile Pentium processors with MMX Technology.
Other
features of Micron's GoBook include a 12.1-inch, Super VGA resolution
thin-film
transistor display and a drive bay housing a floppy disk and CD-ROM or
Zip
drive.
Peripheral memory upgrades for Micron's notebook computers are
available
worldwide through authorized resellers. All Peripheral memory products
feature
the distinctive blue Memory Edge(tm), which signifies that the
products were
manufactured in Peripheral's own U.S. plants and have been double
tested for
100% compatibility and reliability.
Peripheral Enhancements Corporation was founded in 1986 and
produces a wide
range of products for virtually every computer brand from Acer to
Zenith,
including memory for desktop systems, laptops, printers, servers and
workstations. In the United States, the company sells to a large base
of
distributors, resellers, corporate end-users, governmental offices and
institutions. Peripheral also markets to a worldwide
distributor/reseller
network.
