Lenovo quietly launched the world’s lightest laptop but it won’t sell it outside Asia

The world’s lightest 13.3-inch enterprise laptops is also one of the most difficult to get your hands on thanks to Lenovo’s decision to only market the device in Singapore and Japan.

Marketed under the Fujitsu brand, parent company Lenovo slipped out the FMV UH-X series without much commotion just four months ago. This is something we can barely believe given how much potential is packed into such a light package, with the lightest model of the three – the snappily-named 4ZR1L13925 – weighing just 868g.

While the FMV UH-X 4ZR1L13925 is certainly the world’s lightest 13.3-inch laptop available right now, it doesn’t hold the all-time record for the lightest laptop in the world. That belongs to a 2018 predecessor, the FMV UH-X 4ZR0X81523, which weighed 778g.  

The current UH-X series, completed with the 888g 4ZR1L13926 and 918g 4ZR1L13927, is engineered with a magnesium chassis that’s been put through its paces with rigorous MIL-STD shock and vibration tests, Lenovo claims.

The 886g model is only fitted with an Intel Core i5-1335U chip, but you can upgrade to an Intel Core i7-1360P processor in the two heavier models. All iterations are paired with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

We’re also astonished with the breadth of ports the manufacturer offers, with the FMV UH-X series including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, HDMI, microSD and an Ethernet RJ-45 port. All this comes despite its weight and up to 17.3mm thickness (with the slimmest model measuring 15.8mm).

This comes alongside a battery life of up to 16.5 hours, based on Lenovo’s claims, as well as fast-charging that can power the machine to 80% charge in an hour. The manufacturer has also packed the FMV UH-X devices with business-minded features including AI noise reduction and AI camera effects, alongside a webcam shutter to boost privacy and a fingerprint scanner, compatible with Windows Hello.

You can currently purchase the machine through regional suppliers Lazada and Shoppee, with these three devices available for between $1,799 and $2,199. This is roughly in line with how much you’d expect to pay for the likes of the HP Elite Dragonfly G3.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
