Fujitsu soon to launch the ultralight LifeBook U938 in NA

Fujitsu launched the Lifebook U938 back in January this year, but this was not a worldwide release, as it was just localized for Japan. The good news is that the enterprise-oriented Lifebook U938 was just announced to make its way to the North American countries later this month.

All versions come preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro.

Users can also choose among a glossy FHD IPS touch display and a slightly brighter non-glare IPS display. The aforementioned CPUs integrate Intel’s UHD Graphics 620 GPUs.
