Fujitsu new Haswell-based Lifebook has 11-hour battery life
Fujitsu will launch a super-thin Ultrabook, built on Intel’s latest Haswell processors, with an 11-hour laptop battery life and a screen with nearly three times HD resolution.
The new UH90/L model from its Lifebook line will be the world’s thinnest for a laptop with a hard disk drive, measuring 15.5 mm at its thickest point. It will mark Fujitsu‘s entry into the quickly growing ranks of PCs built around Haswell processors, which boast slightly improved performance along with reduced battery power requirements.
The laptop computer has a 14-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 3,200 x 1,800 pixels, or 2.7 times full HD, with a pixel density of 262 ppi. It is built with Sharp’s IGZO technology, named after the semiconductor on which it is based. The machine will run on a 45 watt-hour lithium polymer battery.
Fujitsu said it will target the gaming market with the Windows-based Ultrabook, teaming with Square Enix, makers of the Final Fantasy series, for promotions. The laptop will come in red and black.
The laptop will go on sale from June 28, sold in a basic model with a 500GB hybrid hard drive and 4GB of RAM as well as upgrades that have solid state drives. Prices were not disclosed, although Japanese press reported the laptop has an estimated market price of $1,900 domestically.
Fujitsu joins a growing group of companies, including Dell, Asus and Acer, that have announced computers built on Intel’s fourth-generation Core processor, called Haswell. Intel has said that the notebook versions of the chips don’t improve over the performance of the previous generation by that much, but do offer 50 percent more Fujitsu lifebook s6210 battery life. The increased battery life may help laptops better compete with the growing tablet market.
Fujitsu also announced several upgrades to its other laptops and a new desktop that is built into the screen and has an internal sub-woofer.
