NEC TECHNOLOGIES. INC. SETS UNPRECEDENTED INDUSTRY PRICE/PERFORMANCE MILESTONE: IMPLEMENTS NEW PRICE STRUCTURE FOR ENTIRE FAMILY OF DESKTOP AND NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS Boxborough, Massachusetts, June 22, 1992 -- In a move reflective of its commitment to the PC marketplace, NEC Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has implemented significant across-the-board price reductions on its entire family of PowerMate desktop, UltraLite notebook and ProSpeed laptop systems, setting a new precedent for delivering high-performance computer systems at affordable prices. Further increasing the value of NEC systems to end-users, the company also announced that it will provide free one-year, on-site service for all desktop computers. "Today's announcement reinforces NEC's determination to maintain --and build upon -- its market share in the PC industry," said Gary Morris, vice president of computer products. "We are providing our existing and prospective customers with the opportunity to upgrade their computing resources to NEC's advanced features at significant savings." The combination of extensive industry experience, top-quality system components, and first-to-market technologies -- such as local bus video and active matrix color notebook display -- position NEC's desktop and notebook product offerings above and beyond those of other vendors on the price/performance scale. In addition, NEC has the distinct advantage of being able to offer users a complete line of peripherals -- from the industry's leading color monitors to popular optical media and printer products.
