It's not a 1kg cut!Is it possible to balance lightness and high -performance mobile?

 The feature of the Lifebook UH-X series is lightness.There were scenes where competition and the lightest weight of the world were competed, but 13 from the first generation.It has a consistent attitude of realizing the lightest in the world as a type 3 mobile notebook.And in the latest model, "Lifebook UH-X/E3" (hereinafter, UH-X/E3), it has further led to its lightness.

 The conventional model Lifebook UH-X/D2 weighs 698g, 13..At the beginning of the appearance, it was greatly surprised at the fact that it realized the lightness of cutting down 700g despite the type 3 mobile notebook.However, in UH-X/E3, it has achieved a 64g weight reduction from there, and has achieved 634G.Of course, it will be the lightest update in the world.

重量は公称634g、実測ではさらに軽く632gだった

 How this lighter is realized is introduced in detail in Shohei Yamada's following article, but the big point is that carbon fiber is used in the top plate, and the top and bottom of the display.The size of the housing will be reduced by reducing the bezel width.

We do not give up the lightest in the world, we will not develop products at the expense of usability.

 Until now, magnesium lithium alloy was adopted as top plate material, but by changing it to carbon fiber, the top plate alone has reduced the weight of about 20g.Furthermore, by narrowing the bezel width on the top and bottom of the display, the size of the entire housing is reduced and the weight is reduced.In addition, it is said that the weight of the conventional model has been reduced by 64G by accumulating fine weight reductions such as keyboards and internal parts.

 13.In recent years, type 3 mobile notebooks have been lighter, and 1kg cuts are not unusual, but the lightness of UH-X/E3 is still different.If you actually have UH-X/E3 in your hand, it is so light that it really works as a personal computer, and this is as surprising as the conventional model.

 The robustness that is concerned about the pursuit of lightness has been cleared from a drop test from about 76 cm, a surface pressurization test of 200 kgf, a 35kgf one -point pressurization test, and a vibration test, etc.It is.In this case, it is safe to carry every day.

 The housing design has not changed much from the conventional model.The color is black, a flat and relatively straight design and an orthodox design as a mobile notebook.

 In the past, some of the conventional models were made of resin because they were equipped with wireless LAN antennas on the top plate.Even in UH-X/E3, some are resin because the wireless LAN antenna is mounted on the top plate, but the border is processed so that the border is invisible, and the top plate can only be seen on one plate.This gives a neat impression than the conventional model.

 The size is 307 x 197 x 15.5mm (width x depth x height).The width is 2mm and the depth is 15mm shorter than the conventional model.The weight was 634g, as introduced at the beginning, and it was 632g, which was 2g lighter than the nominal.
