TEXAS INSTRUMENTS EXPANDS TRAVELMATE STORAGE CAPACITY TO 2.1 GB HDD AND
INCLUDES 16 MB RAM STANDARD

NEW TRAVELMATE 5300 WITH 2.1 GB HDD AND 16MB RAM STANDARD HAS MORE CAPACITY
THAN ANY OTHER NOTEBOOK.

DALLAS -- May 13, 1996 -- Texas Instruments today announced the expansion
of the TravelMate family with the addition of a new 5300 model, the
5375ST, which features a 2.1GB HDD and 16MB RAM standard. This enhanced
unit, designed for mobile executives who use high-powered graphics
programs, boasts more storage power than any other notebook available
today. The 5375ST also takes advantage of the newest processor technology
by combining Intel's recently announced 133MHz Pentium processor with PCI
bus architecture and 256KB Level 2 (L2) cache. The new model features a
brilliant 11.3-inch high resolution 800 x 600 active matrix Super VGA
(SVGA) display.

"TI became an industry leader by combining superior design and legendary
engineering with quality manufacturing," stated Steve Lair, vice
president, worldwide marketing and sales, for Personal Productivity
Products. "TI continues with the tradition of excellence by meeting the
needs of mobile executives who need more speed and storage. The new
TravelMate 5300 model with its 2.1 gigabyte high density hard disk storage
and 16 megabytes of RAM standard is the right answer for power-users."

POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR ANY APPLICATION

The new Intel 133MHz Pentium processor enhances the performance of powerful
applications that require high-frame software video playback; and with the
inclusion of 16MB of RAM, programs like CAD/CAM engineering, software
design and computer-based training run even better. "The 5375ST provides
our customers with the best mobile computing solutions for these
graphics/processor-intensive applications," commented Lair. Especially
important to executives who give on-the-road presentations, the new
high-resolution 800 x 600 active matrix SVGA color screen provides the
user the equivalent of a desktop SVGA display.

The 5375ST is lightweight, weighing in at only 6.7 pounds, and comes with
two lithium ion battery packs which deliver the industry's longest battery
life. The 5375ST offers even more mobility options with its serial
infrared port for wireless connectivity, and a PCMCIA Type III or two Type
I/II card slot(s).

TI again led the industry when they integrated PCI bus architecture into
notebooks a year ago. The 5375ST notebook takes full advantage of TI's
experience with PCI architecture and is designed around a 32-bit, 66MHz
synchronous PCI bus which allows it to receive and transfer information
faster while eliminating bottlenecks. The PCI bus has the bandwidth to
provide support for the multi-tasking capabilities of Windows 95. The
5375ST not only includes an internal PCI bus, but an external PCI bus for
improved performance of docking systems and peripheral accessories.

WINDOWS 95 AND WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS PRE-INSTALLED

Like other TravelMate family members, the 5375ST comes with both Windows 95
and Windows for Workgroups pre-installed, thus allowing customers to
immediately take advantage of the new features of Windows 95 or choose
Windows for Workgroups.
