Compaq Evo Notebook 400c Named Most Innovative Wirelessly Enabled Notebook Computer (Advisory)

HOUSTON, November 13, 2001

Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ) today announced that its Compaq Evo Notebook N400C was awarded Outlook 4Mobility's inaugural "Most Innovative Wirelessly Enabled Notebook Computer" award during Andrew Seybold's 11th Annual Wireless Dinner at Comdex Fall 2001.

Andrew Seybold's Outlook 4Mobility, the foremost authority on mobility and wireless technology, presents the awards annually to companies demonstrating extraordinary leadership and innovation in the mobility and wireless technology field.

"The innovative manner in which Compaq accommodates wireless data in the new Compaq Evo Notebook N400c is impressive technologically as well as in its industrial design, user convenience and flexibility," said Andrew Seybold, president of Outlook 4Mobility. "Clearly, the company has carefully considered the wants and needs of mobile workers as well as anticipated the directions in which the wireless industry is moving."

"The innovative MultiPort technology used in the Compaq Evo N400c and all future Compaq notebooks is a great example of a wireless solution that not only delivers industry-best performance and throughput, but still allows customers the choice and flexibility to implement wireless technology on their own terms," said Alex Gruzen, vice president & general manager of Mobile Computing, Compaq Computer Corporation. "The Evo N400c MultiPort wireless solution recognized by Andy Seybold's Outlook 4Mobility is the first of many innovative wireless solutions to come from Compaq. We are honored to be recognized by such a prestigious organization as a leader in developing innovative wireless solutions."

Weighing in at just 3.5 pounds, the Compaq Evo Notebook N400c is an ultra light, ultra portable notebook, which boasts Compaq's innovative MultiPort wireless option. MultiPort is an interchangeable module that slides into place on the back of the notebook and becomes an integral element of the notebook. This flexible, innovative solution allows users to connect using multiple wireless standards such as 802.11b wireless LAN or Bluetooth™ for ad hoc personal area networking by simply changing out the MultiPort module. MultiPort also provides customers with investment protection, enabling easy upgrades to future wireless technologies such as 802.11a wireless LAN for speeds up to 54Mbps or next generation wireless wide area networking for true Internet connectivity anywhere.

The Compaq Evo N400c Notebook comes with dual battery support for over five hours of battery life(1). Additionally, optional support for up to four batteries is available for all day computing power(2). The Compaq Evo N400c Notebook also includes a full size keyboard and a newly designed optional Mobile Expansion Unit, which expands the capabilities by adding dual MultiBay support, full port replication, docking station connector and stereo speakers(3). In addition, the Compaq Evo Notebook N400c supports all common Armada E and M series MultiBay, power and docking solutions, Mobile Intel® Pentium® III processor and a magnesium display enclosure for added durability.
