PANASONIC NOTEBOOKS DELIVER HIGH POWER TO FORTUNE 1000 USERS

NEW YORK, June 29, 1993 -- Reliable performance, convenient features,
rugged durability and sleek, lightweight casings are hallmarks of
Panasonic' s line of notebook computers. Designed with the Fortune 1000
user in mind, Panasonic notebooks are manufactured to stringent measures
of quality control, making them the ideal tools for busy executives who
rely on their computers whether in or out of the office.

CF-1000A Making its debut at PC Expo, Panasonic's CF-1000A, an enhanced
version of the company's CF-1000 notebook, features a Cyrix 486SLC/e 3.3V
microprocessor, along with a detachable floppy disk drive that can be
easily replaced with an additional battery.

The CF-1000A weighs only 5 lbs. and measures 1.25" thin. The Cyrix CX
486SLC microprocessor, running at 25MHz, draws only 3.3V of power. The
notebook also features 150/330MB hard disk capacity with 80/170MB hard
disk drive and SuperStor disk compression utility software installed on
the CF-1000A's hard disk. In addition, the CF-1000A offers standard 4MB of
RAM, expandable up to 12MB.

Panasonic's CF-1000A features a full-size 84-key AT style keyboard. A
9.5-inch sidelit VGA display provides crisp, clear graphics, and a VGA
monitor is easily attached to either the notebook or optional docking
unit.

The CF-1000A with 80MB hard disk drive will be available in late-July at a
suggested retail price of $1,999.

CF-1000 Panasonic's CF-1000, the smallest and lightest notebook ever
offered by the company, weighs 5 lbs. and measures 1.25 inches thin. A
3.3V 386SXLV provides the power of traditional 386SX/SL chips, but cuts
power consumption through its low voltage operation.

A detachable floppy disk drive is easily replaced with a second nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) battery, effectively doubling battery life without
having to "power down." Also, the NiMH batteries used in the CF-1000 can
be recharged in 1.25 hours to full capacity, eliminating the "memory
effect" of nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries.

The CF-1000 is available at a suggested retail price of $1,599.

CF-580/580C 

Combining technologically advanced features with a rapid 486-class
microprocessor, Panasonic's CF-580 and CF-580C notebook computers create a
high level of convenience and functionality for computer users.

Both notebooks use the Intel 486 SL microprocessor with 25 MHz clock speed,
giving users extra power with a built-in numeric coprocessor and 8 Kbytes
internal cache. In addition, both the CF-580 and 580C feature a PCMCIA
Type II slot, making it easy for users to take advantage of adapters and
other devices requiring the new generation of credit card-size IC cards.

Long battery life is achieved through 3.3V operation. Also featured is a
120/200MB hard disk drive -- expandable to 230-390MB with SuperStor disk
compression utility software already installed on the hard disk. A
mini-trackball makes it easy to operate pre-installed Windows functions on
the road. The CF-580C offers the added advantage of an active-matrix
Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) color display.

A 101-key keyboard can be connected to a mini DIN 6-pin PS/2 keyboard port,
while a PS/2 mouse port takes precedence over the built-in
mini-trackball.

The CF-580 is available at a suggested retail price of $2,699. The CF-580C
will be available in late-July at a price to be determined.

CF-480 

Sophisticated features and design are two hallmarks of the CF-480 computer
from Panasonic.

The product uses the i386SL/25MHz microprocessor with cache memory, and
feature 150/230MB hard disk capacity with 80/120MB hard disk drive and
SuperStor disk compression utility software already installed on the hard
disk.

The Panasonic CF-480 is available at suggested retail prices of $1,549
(80MB) and $1,699 (120MB).

All Panasonic notebook computers are available through Panasonic's select
resellers. For additional sales-related information, call 1-800-742-8086.
