(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 14, 2001 ) NEC Computers Inc., a leading manufacturer of mobile computing solutions, announced it will demonstrate the unique capabilities of the NEC Versa DayLite notebook computer for golf fans and followers, at the upcoming World Golf Championships - NEC Invitational golf tournament, August 21-26, 2001 in Akron, Ohio.

During the weeklong tournament, NEC representatives will demonstrate how the ultraportable Versa DayLite, unlike any other notebook computer, is capable of being used outdoors and indoors whether on the fairway, at the clubhouse or in the rough. For example, the Versa DayLite can be used with special golf analysis software to show how professional golfers, certified instructors and golf enthusiasts can use the Versa DayLite to track and analyze all the elements of their games, including, handicap computation, swing analysis, and course measurement.

"The Versa DayLite provides golfers of all skill levels with the ability to leverage technological advantages to evaluate their swings, apply changes to their game and review their overall stance and performance. The clear video feedback in direct sunlight is a perfect tool for the instructors to provide feedback to students for game improvement," said Gary Palis, vice president, Interactive Frontiers. Interactive Frontiers, developers of the V1 coaching technology, a software program that records, replays and analyzes a golfer's swing. The V1 technology is used by top instructors and tour players all over the world.

The key technology behind the Versa DayLite notebook is an advanced illuminated reflective display. The dual-functionality of the Versa DayLite makes it ideally suited for users who like a lightweight notebook that can adapt to use on the green and in the clubhouse. Using a switch on the display panel, the Versa DayLite notebook can utilize sunlight to brighten the screen, which in turn lowers power consumption, extending battery life. The screen can also be switched so that it is viewable indoors.

"NEC Computers is one of the first major computing manufacturers to address the growing number of vertical sport and training markets seeking mobile systems engineered for use outdoors," said Larry Miller, vice president of marketing, NEC Computers Inc. "Using the Versa DayLite notebook, golf aficionados and sports trainers everywhere now have the freedom and flexibility of a lightweight mobile computing solution that can be used to train athletes indoors or outdoors on the field."

NEC representatives will be demonstrating all the features and benefits of the Versa DayLite notebook, plus other NEC mobile products at the NEC Invitational golf tournament, August 21-26, 2001 in Akron, Ohio. NEC Computers products will be located at the Welcome Pavilion, located just inside the main public entrance toward the South Course.
