Twinhead Corporation (http://usa.twinhead.com), a leading global Manufacturer of award-winning portable notebook computers, unveiled its exciting, innovative line of new products, including notebook computers, Tablet PC, and cutting-edge digital media entertainment products during the recently held 2005 International CES in Las Vegas.

Twinhead also displayed the following 14.1" Notebook Models under the "DuraBook" names that are "Tough Enough for Rent to Own." N1400- which is an Intel based semi-rugged machine and the R14K which is an AMD based semi-rugged machine (the first of it's kind in the world). Both models have been drop tested 26 times from up to 3 feet and also comes with a spill proof keyboard and shock mounted hard drive. We firmly believe this will equate to a lower cost of ownership to the RTO dealer in their Laptop investment for many years to come, and at affordable prices.

“Where Today and Tomorrow Converge’, the company’s CES 2005 theme, encapsulates the Twinhead story. Long known as the Notebook PC Specialists, cutting-edge computer products on display at CES further strengthen Twinhead’s standing as an innovative leader in mobile computing. Twinhead’s digital convergence media offerings also deliver dramatic and tangible proof of the company’s evolutionary success in widening its core competencies in line with the industry trend toward consumer-oriented digital entertainment products.

We are extremely excited about our involvement with emerging markets like Rent to Own, Home Shopping and embedded system channels, says Ray Oribello, Director of Sales with Twinhead. Being a True Manufacturer of laptops and understanding today’s business climate allows us to be very flexible in the way we do business. From Small to Medium to Large Enterprise business; Twinhead can adapt to any sales channel.
