FMV-DESKPOWER Pliche (Model 16D)

Fujitsu launched the FMV-DESKPOWER Pliche — a desktop computer with an integral LCD monitor — in November 1997. Pursuing a stylish design and small footprint (the Pliche’s footprint was 60 percent smaller than that of conventional computers) based on the concept of being sized for a “private room,” the Pliche attempted to capture a diverse user base, particularly younger women.
