City of Industry, CA - October 30, 2000 - Hot off receiving awards and praises for their other Soundx notebooks,  Sceptre is introducing their ultra-high resolution mobile desktop.  This notebook is not just visually appealing; it also packs a punch performancewise.  The Soundx 69502 notebooks are available with Intel Pentium III 500 - 800 MHz processors, making them a notebook to fit every mobile user's needs.  From graphics professionals to spreadsheet users, you will appreciate the high resolution the Soundx 69502's 15.1-inch display achieves.  The 1400 x 1050 SXGA+ TFT LCD display allows the user to squeeze out more clarity from their screen versus a standard 1024 x 768 display.
