APC's new notebook cases feature gadget pockets
May 13,
2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Rhode Island based American Power
Conversion (APC) has added four new notebook cases to their
lineup. The company's new "Power Ready" notebook
cases feature pockets for storing mobile devices like PDAs
and smartphones.
All of
the Power Ready Notebook Cases include mobile device pockets,
an organizer panel to keep pens and business cards in reach,
a removable spill-proof pouch for personal belongings, a cord
port that allows an adapter to charge a notebook computer
while secured in its padded compartment, and a removable shock
absorbing strap that provides maximum comfort with extreme
loads.
While
the 900 cubic inch, ultra-light case uses lightweight nylon
material, all the other cases use heavy-duty ballistic nylon
material.
The 900,
1000, and the 1400 cubic-inch cases also offer a roller handle
slot that allows for attachment to most wheeled upright luggage.
The 1000,
1400, and 1900 cases provide utility side pockets that expand
to hold water bottles or umbrellas. The 1000 and 1400 models
also have a universal notebook compartment with padded panels
that adjust to securely fit notebook computers with 15.4 inch
screens or smaller, and some 17 inch widescreen models as
well.
The 1400
cu-in model and Roller Case model have a file compartment
for folders, documents, or magazines. Iin place of the universal
notebook compartment, the Roller Case has a removable notebook
pouch to safely carry a notebook computer without having to
carry the entire Roller Case. It has in-line skate wheels,
and a telescoping locking handle.
The new
APC Power Ready Notebook Cases are currently available in
North America and all have a lifetime warranty. They resale
for US $40 (900 cubic inches), $50 (1000 cu-in), $60 (1400
cu-in) and $100 for the roller case model.
APC's
Universal Notebook Battery ($250) and Universal Power Adapter
($80) also integrate with the case to power and charge mobile
equipment without having to take anything out of the case,
according to APC.
