Fujitsu FMV Note U AI laptop sports 36-hour battery, Intel Lunar Lake and weighs just 1.85 lbs
Fujitsu claims that the new FMV Note U is the world's lightest Copilot+ laptop. This machine weighs just 1.85 lbs, which definitely makes it one of the lightest notebooks on the market. Despite its slim chassis, the manufacturer has managed to fit a relatively large 64 Wh battery inside and promises up to 36 hours of battery life in idle.
Battery life drops to 15.5 hours when watching videos, and it's likely to be even shorter when using office application or the web browser. Considering its extremely low weight, the super thin Windows laptop still sports a relatively large battery and an efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor. This processor has four performance cores with boost clocks up to 4.8 GHz, four efficiency cores, and the quick Intel Arc Graphics 140V. The chassis is certified according to MIL-STD-810H, which should make it very sturdy and durable.
The ultrabook boasts a decent selection of ports, including two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a microSD card reader, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and even Gigabit Ethernet, which is a rarity in this weight class. The FMV Note U further supports Wi-Fi 7. The notebook also features a 14-inch 16:10 IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a fingerprint sensor and a 1080p webcam.
