Mobile workstation from IBM

SIBM India Limited has introduced the ThinkPad A31p, a
notebook designed to meet the demands of a workstation user. The new notebook is
bundled with mobility and features of a workstation, offering users graphical
performance with wireless technology, security and manageability capabilities.

the ThinkPad A31p offers a communications bay for flexible
wireless and wired networking. Select models of the ThinkPad A Series, including
the A31p, are the first IBM notebooks to have both 802.11b and Bluetooth
integrated and running concurrently.

The ThinkPad A31p also comes standard with IBM’s Embedded
Security Subsystem (ESS), a comprehensive solution that combines both hardware
and software. The cryptographic chip can enhance most other security solutions
by encrypting and decrypting keys in hardware rather than main memory, where a
Trojan horse virus can steal the keys.

Additionally, the ThinkPad A31p is the only mobile
workstation enabled for ImageUltra, IBM’s image management solution, which can
help integrate workstations into a network. ImageUltra helps successfully
address the costs involved with managing PCs, including deploying, managing and
upgrading a company’s systems.

The ThinkPad A31p features Intel’s new Mobile Pentium 4
Processor-M, double data rate (DDR) memory and ATI Mobility FireGL 7800 graphics
technology. The notebook has a 15-inch UXGA FlexView display, which provides up
to 25-50 percent greater brightness and twice the contrast of similar displays
with viewing angles up to 170 degrees.
