FTEC redefines design customization with the new lifestyle notebook that “changes skin”

Kuala Lumpur, 11 April 2008 – Homegrown Information Technology (“IT”) leader FTEC Resources Berhad (“FTEC”) charted another milestone in their successful collaboration today with the launching of the latest lifestyle notebook W2 with “changeable skin”.

The latest W2 notebook, launched under FTEC’s ‘Stylish & Entertainment’ series at the PC Fair at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today, allows the customer to possess a notebook bearing their own creative thoughts by personalizing the outer skin together with the 99 crystal-studded cover for the additional “bling” factor.

Ms. Grace Vun, Vice-President of FTEC said: “FTEC’s success as a homegrown IT brand today is attributed to two key factors: our ability to customize our products according to futuristic trends in order to truly catch the customers’ attention; and in making good our promise to bring creative ideas to the Malaysian market. This latest addition to the FTEC lifestyle notebook family redefines product design customization in line with customer’s demands for a greater expression of individuality.”

Mr. Simon Chan, National Sales Manager of Intel Malaysia said: “Our focus has always been to remain innovative while at the same time, be attuned to the customers’ demands for better performance; be it in improving the inner functionality or enhancing the outer design of our products. To this end, we are pleased to collaborate with established partners such as FTEC to introduce new IT lifestyle products to the Malaysian public, and together be recognized as industry pioneers.”

Buyers of the latest W2 notebook can opt from a number of template cover designs or develop their own designs for ‘on-the-spot’ incorporation onto the notebook skin.

Other superior features of the FTEC W2 SE Series notebook are its high-definition sound quality and super clear TFT display, with options to watch TV on the go. The FTEC W2 SE Series notebook retails from RM2,399 onwards, inclusive of one personalized notebook skin, limited to the first 100 customers during PC Fair only.

The FTEC W2 SE Series notebook is available at all TecAsia retail stores in Plaza Low Yat, Kuala Lumpur, and Karamunsing Complex, Kota Kinabalu; FTEC Boutique in Digital Mall, Petaling Jaya; and through authorised FTEC retailers and distributors nationwide.

In conjunction with the official launch, limited 10 units of the FTEC W2 SE Series notebook C/W Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo Processor will be made available for only RM1999 right after the launch between 12.30pm to 1pm on 11th April 2008; allowing for customer savings of up to RM1,200 from the original price of RM 3,199.
