City of Industry, California - A pioneer in the notebook technology, Sceptre Technologies, Inc. today announced their newest addition to their diverse product line, the Soundx 6900 notebook. The Soundx 6900 combines remarkable user-friendly devices with features that rival a desktop computer system. 

Stephen Liu, President/CEO, Sceptre Technologies, Inc. explains “The Soundx 6900 is definitely an outstanding notebook in that we were able to incorporate desktop-like features and still manage to make the notebook very light for the traveler to carry. It combines the best available technology and delivers a startling performance. The standard 8 MB video RAM boosts the notebook’s power so that the user can utilize sophisticated graphics and 3D applications. This is an ideal notebook for every type of user, and it especially targets computer savvy professionals and on the go executives”. 

One of the best features of the Soundx 6900 notebook is its astonishing portability. For a 15-inch viewing screen, the Soundx 6900 notebook is one of the best and the lightest in the market. The ultra slim notebook measures a mere 1.5-inch thick and weighs a mere 7.2 lbs. Despite its slimness and lightness, the standard notebook is still able to accommodate 3 spindles to include a DVD, Floppy Disk Drive and up to 14 GB Hard Disk Drive. 

The Soundx 6900 notebook also features the Utility Bay which enables the user to swap and choose between four different devices including the CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, Zip Drive, and a secondary battery. This user-friendly flexibility allows the user to customize the notebook to their specific needs. 

The Soundx 6900 also comes with the mini PCI bus. Sceptre is among the first to incorporate this amazing technology which not only allows a higher data throughput but is also non-proprietary. This enables the user to choose any type of modem device that fits their budget and taste. Moreover, this universality lowers the price of production allowing manufacturers to offer a reasonable price point to their clients. The Soundx 6900 notebook’s price starts at $2,599.00.
