VIA C7-M processor powers latest 15.4” portable computer available online and in stores throughout the U.S.
Taipei, Taiwan, 26 April 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, and Everex, a world leader in the design and production of personal computers, today unveiled the StepNote NC1501 notebook, available in leading US retailers for just US$499.
At first glance, the new StepNote NC1501 appears a typical, modern-day laptop, featuring the Windows Vista Home Basic operating system, 15.4” widescreen display with DiamondBrite Technology, built-in wireless LAN and DVD burner. At the heart of this unique machine, however, lies the VIA C7-M processor, designed to provide ultra-low power consumption, advanced security features and 1.5GHz performance at a mere 12W peak power.
“It’s obvious that the social awareness of energy conservation has never been higher,” stated John Lin, Vice President of Sales for Everex. “However, unlike many eco-friendly products targeting a small, niche audience, Everex believes that a far greater environmental impact can be reached through the acceptance of mainstream products such as our StepNote NC1501. That’s why we specifically created a no-compromise notebook with mass appeal.”
Available in Wal-Mart stores nationwide, as well as online through the BestBuy.com and WalMart.com websites, the Everex NC series notebooks are expected to aid users in reducing their overall electricity usage while lowering the total cost of ownership. According to the two companies, utilization of VIA Enhanced PowerSaver and TwinTurbo technology allow the laptop to dynamically transition between intermediate power states, providing users with 20% longer battery life than comparable systems.
“We are delighted that Everex has successfully combined the latest technologies on the market with an environment-friendly approach,” said Richard Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “By extending their NC series of notebooks based on our ultra power efficient VIA C7-M processor, consumers have greater opportunity to opt for more sustainable computing.”
