Update: 9th May 2012. The 14″ Ultrabook will be the Lifebook U772
We’re at the Fujitsu Press conference on Day 0 of CeBIT and we’ve just been handed a flyer showing two new Ultrabooks.
We’re about to see the real deal in a minute….
So we’re talking about a 16mm Ultrabook running Ivy Bridge (expected later this year) with a weight of 1.4KG or less and a 14” edge-to-edge screen which looks fantastic. (See images below.) LTE/3G is planned and we’ve also spotted a docking connector (or possible slate battery expander) on the underside of the device. It’s magnesium all over and feels great. Unfortunately it’s a daummy device so it’s not functional and the keyboard mechanism is not installed.
Despite that, this is looking fantastic and with LTE/3G will defiantely be one of the first ultra-mobile Ultrabooks on the market.
Fingers crossed for 1600×900 screen!
Here’s the hands-on video….
A few close-ups coming below…
Chippy this is a beautiful looking machine .. will be interesting to find out more:) should you pass by the samsung people featuring the newly updated samsung serie 9 can you please ask them when it will be released in Germany ? ( i aim at getting the 15 inch screen model:)
I like the focus on thin bezels. Without the screen on I can’t really see how thin they are though. For example, the border around the glass may be thin but then there’s another border around the actual LCD screen that’s under the glass.
I really want a small overall form factor. At some point, the single thickness dimension becomes less important compared to the other 2 dimensions.
