Encore Electronics Introduces Netbook Accessory Product Line at CES

LA PUENTE, CA (January, 2010) — Encore Electronics®, a leader in affordable networking and multimedia products for homes and small businesses, showcased a wide range of Netbook accessories at 2010 CES. Below are some of the highlights.

USB A/V Accessories

Since Netbook computers are essentially stripped-down versions of traditional notebook computers, Netbooks’ audio and video features are less robust. However, users can instantly enhance their audio and video on their Netbooks by connecting to one of the following USB devices.

• External USB Video Adapter (ENMUV-2) makes adding additional monitors to Netbooks, which normally have no external video port, possible. Users can open more windows and work in more programs at the same time.
• Portable USB Notebook Speaker (ENMUS) provides better listening experience to Netbook users. ENMUS can be easily attached to a Netbook or notebook computer. The speaker also has a desktop mounting stand.

Stand-alone Accessories

These devices are suitable for both Netbook and notebook computers. They are especially handy when users are on the road.

• Portable Laptop Cooling Stand (ENCA-SXL) lifts a 12- to 17-inch Netbook or notebook computer, allowing more efficient heat dissipation.
• 7-in-1 Retractable Cable Travel Pack (ENCA-CTP) provides the right connector to almost any kind of USB or Ethernet product. The retractable cables prevent tangled cables in users’ backpacks or suitcases.
• Universal Plug Adapter with USB Charger (ENUUTP-4T) has the right type of power plug for over 150 countries. Moreover, the USB charger can easily charge a smartphone or MP3 player without the need to turn on the PC.

“Netbook computers, or mini notebooks, continue to be the fastest growing segment in the personal computer market. We saw more manufactures introducing their Netbooks at CES this year,” said Kai Huang, marketing manager at Encore Electronics. “Encore Electronics responds to Netbook users’ demand for more bells and whistles. Our Netbook accessories are either USB or stand-alone products, allowing users to use them only when needed. For example, students may carry just the Netbooks to school, while connecting the Netbooks to our USB Audio Box at home to enjoy 7.1 channel, theater quality surround sound.

The abovementioned Netbook accessories will be ready by the end of Q1, 2010, from Encore Electronics’ distributors, retail stores and online resellers.
