Tokyo, October 8, 2013 — Fujitsu today announced the release of an updated lineup of consumer-oriented PCs and tablets, with eleven new models in six product families. The designs of the FMV Series of PCs and ARROWS Tab Series of tablets have been updated, and all models are preinstalled with the latest Windows 8.1 operating system update. To make it even easier for users to fully enjoy the features of the Windows 8.1 update and Fujitsu's enhanced My Cloud service, eight of the new models feature touch functionality. The new models will be available in Japan starting October 18, 2013.

In response to customer uncertainty and questions relating to the end of Windows XP support, Fujitsu is enhancing its customer support services to help customers switch to new PC environments with peace of mind.
