Fujitsu has introduced the FMV Zero Lifebook WU5/J3, claiming it to be the lightest 14-inch laptop globally. This device features a durable carbon fiber build that meets MIL-STD-810H standards for drop, shock, and pressure resistance. Additionally, it is equipped with an AI NPU and various connectivity options.
Weight and Battery Life
The FMV Zero weighs just 634 grams (or 1.4 pounds) and offers a battery life ranging from 6.0 to 11.0 hours. For connectivity, it includes two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, a full-sized HDMI port, an Ethernet port, a laptop lock slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot.
Performance Specifications
The Lifebook can be customized with either an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U or an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U processor. Both options come with integrated AI Boost NPUs, enabling hardware acceleration for AI services such as CoPilot in Windows 11 and Office 2024. Users can choose between 8GB and 64GB of RAM, as well as storage options ranging from 256GB to 2TB of SSD.
Advanced Features
Users have the convenience of logging into Windows 11 via fingerprint or facial recognition. The laptop also includes AI-driven Noise Cancellation software that can learn to identify the user's voice, effectively filtering out other speakers and background sounds during video calls. Moreover, Umore, a beauty-enhancing AI software, tracks users in 3D and applies skin corrections and virtual makeup, working alongside Windows Studio Effects to keep the user's face framed perfectly.
The Fujitsu FMV Zero Lifebook WU5/J3 starts at an MSRP of 197,900 yen (approximately $1,325). Customers can place preorders now through the FMV Web Shop, with deliveries expected to commence in mid-November. Sadly, for those outside Japan, options are limited to heavier laptops. For instance, the Surface Pro 10 tablet, available on Amazon, weighs 879 grams (1.9 pounds), making it 39% heavier than the FMV Zero.
