Neonode® Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON), creators of the AirBar™ sensor, the streamlined device that instantly gives PCs touchscreen capabilities, today announces the
official U.S. launch and shipment of AirBar pre-sale orders. Compatible with most Chromebook™ notebooks and PCs running
Windows® 8.1 or 10, AirBar provides consumers with the option to promptly and seamlessly activate touch functionalities
on their laptops.

The AirBar device is a sleek, thin matte black bar that magnetically attaches to the bottom of a laptop display for easy
installation. AirBar instantly connects through a USB port and requires no software installation or additional configuration.
AirBar uses parent company Neonode’s patented zForce AIR™ technology to emit an invisible light field over a laptop screen that
senses touch from fingers, gloves and even a paintbrush. This gives users the ability to flip through a digital cookbook without
removing their oven mitt or teach their kids how to draw and paint without the messy art supplies, for example.
“We developed this product knowing there is really nothing else like it on the market,” said Remo Behdasht, senior vice
president of AirBar Devices at Neonode. “People want touchscreen capabilities, but until now their options were very limited by
brand and cost. Our successful pre-order phase was further confirmation of the massive appeal and demand for this device.”
AirBar alleviates battery drain, added weight and glare that typically comes with touchscreen laptops. AirBar retails for $69
and is offered in three size options to fit 13.3”, 14” and 15.6” screens.
AirBar is currently available at www.air.bar and will also be sold online at Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), CDW (NASDAQ: CDW),
Dell, Newegg, and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT).
