DynaBook TECRA 720 is built around a series of industry-first innovations, among them first utilization of the new low-voltage 133MHz Pentium(TM) processor. Combination of this state-of-the-art microprocessor with 16 megabyte of high-speed EDO DRAM main memory and a 256 kilobyte pipelined burst SRAM for secondary cache memory allow to achieve the by far the highest performance of any notebook PC.

Worldwide marketing of the new notebook PC starts today.

The new PC brings many cutting-edge technologies to notebook PCs for the first time. Among DynaBookTECRA 720s world leading features are:

  1. Intel Corporation's new low-voltage 133MHz Pentium(TM) processor, specially designed for notebook PCs.
  2. The latest version of Toshibas peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus chip-set, specially designed to give notebook PCs the same high-speed data transfers between CPU and peripherals that desktop PCs offer.
  3. CardBus ready PC Card slots, a 32-bit dedicated data route between the PC Card slot and the CPU.
  4. Zoomed Video (ZV) port, a dedicated port offering high-speed transfer of video and audio without burdening the CPU.
  5. 1,024 x 768 resolution, simultaneous 65,536-color, 12.1-inch TFT LCD screen
