NEW VALUE-PRICED PENTIUM NOTEBOOK WITH BUILT IN MULTIMEDIA FROM CHEM USA

Pentium and Mutimedia Combined to Make Full-Featured Mobile Office and Home
System

Hayward, CA -- September 18, 1995 - CHEM USA Corp., today introduced
another in its line of new Pentium-based notebook computers. The unit is a
value-priced version of CHEM USA's top-of-the-line model, with power,
features and capability combining to make a full-featured Windows 95 ready
system, ideal for office and home.

CHEM USA, a rising star in the notebook market, has a full line of
ChemBook-brand (sold through distributors and retailers) and 5d-brand
(available direct) high-performance notebook computers.

The new ChemBook Model 5550 and 5d Model 4050 CD-ROM Pentium notebook
computer, with up to 120MHz performance and full video and sound
multimedia capability, is a value-packed platform. The unit features
removable CD-ROM drive, up to one Gigabyte (GB) removable disk drive
storage capacity, up to 32 megabytes (MB) of RAM, and large color screen.

"The important thing about value-priced notebooks is that both power and
features must be included for full performance,' says Richard Liu, CHEM
USA's vice president of sales and marketing. "Pentium power is absolutely
necessary for office or road to handle all the multimedia and
communication features in demand."

The ChemBook and Sd notebooks feature a Pentium microprocessor with a
choice of speeds from 75-, 90-, and 100MHz, up to 120MHz, with 256K L2
cache memory, 4-, 8-, 16- or 32MB of RAM, and removable 340-, 500-, 810MB,
or 1GB hard drive. A 2x-speed CD-ROM drive is standard, with a 4x-speed
drive available as an option. A 1.44MB floppy drive is removable (to
accommodate an extra battery, if desired).

Other standard features include trackpoint cursor control, a high-speed
serial port for networking and modem capabilities, plus PC Card slots and
power management capability. The unit is available now starting at $3,500
suggested retail price, depending on configuration.

A 16-bit stereo sound system is standard -- Microsoft Sound System- and
Soundblaster Procompatible--with built-in microphone and speaker. Standard
video capability includes 1MB VRAM (up to 2MB optional) with a 32-bit PCI
video bus and Windows accelerator for exceptional sound quality and fast
sharp graphics on a 11.3-inch dual scan display -- largest on the market
-- or 10.3-inch TFT active matrix screen.

For additional data storage for small office/home office desktop PCs, or
for access to the wealth of applications available on PC cards such as
fax/modem software downloading, communications, and other memory-intensive
applications, the CD-ROM Value Pentium notebook computer provides one Type
II and one Type m PCMCIA slot and docking station for easy configuration.
In addition, a built-in infrared interface provides instant wireless
connection to peripherals.

The notebook includes efficient power management features, including a CPU
and Globe standby mode, plus auto-suspend and auto power management
support. In addition, an autoswitching AC adapter, NiMH battery and
two-hour fast charge capabilities help the user to manage power when
traveling.
