Ultrabook ™ LaVie Z announced the world's lightest weight of about 875g body

- the lightness of a different dimension repaint the common sense of the ~ Ultrabook ™

NEC personal computers, today announced the world's lightest of all sizes in Ultrabook ™ and will be announced, the "LaVie Z" of about 875g body weight.

Achieve the lightness of the dimension that 875g about due to a combination of magnesium die-casting thin, not able to reach even the Ultrabook ™ the world's lightest wide-type class 11.6, yet wide display 13.3-inch pole and magnesium alloy lithium world's first. This innovative new products repaint the common sense of Ultrabook ™. LaVie Z, in addition to the lightweight body not to carry much burden throughout the day, battery-powered for long periods of time of about 8.1, rapid battery charging, fast start-up, such as data-sharing capabilities of the PC in the home , we provide optimal functionality to freely carry mobile style PC. For more information LaVie Z is as follows.

Initiatives for weight reduction;

- Adopt the world's first lithium-magnesium alloy employed in the bottom of the lithium magnesium alloy magnesium alloy with the rigidity of the average specific gravity, yet about 50% of the aluminum alloy, of about 75% of the magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloy lithium is a material very difficult to be processed in one of the advantage of lightweight, mass-production is necessary to establish a processing technology advanced, the NEC personal computers will overcome the technical challenges that the world's first has adopted the housing of the PC.

- Adopt a die-cast magnesium housing ultra-thin part of the housing of the complex shapes can not be applied to lithium magnesium alloy, thinner 0.5mm ~ 0.6mm thinness about technology that is available only workman and magnesium die casting (casting) achieved. Provide housing for lightweight mobile PC that combines strength and lightweight magnesium alloy with lithium.

- Integrated display enclosure design is that the die-casting magnesium top plate personal computer, integrated housing is assembled to the display directly the components of the display, thinner and lighter, and contribute to the narrow frame.

- Built-in keyboard housing to achieve the thinner, traditional instead of using a keyboard that is attached to the unitized body, adopted the integrated design assembling the keyboard parts directly to the housing.

- Domestic thinnest 13.3-inch wide (excluding protrusions) on par with a compact body and thinness of 14.9mm A4 Clear File at the thickest part of about

[Function] for Mobile

- Battery-powered for long periods of time approximately 8.1. From zero up to about 80% in one hour rechargeable battery. AC adapter employs approximately 18.5mm thin and light is also not bulky in the bag

- Available in about 2 seconds from sleep with "Quick Power On"

- Faster boot OS from the shutdown state by adopting SSD 3.0 Serial ATA support

- Key pitch of 18mm keystroke approximately realize a sense of comfortable typing, of approximately 1.2mm

- Dot high-resolution display 1600x900 screen display area was achieved over a wide class type 15.6

- In order to make effective use of data storage space, features "Network Duet" can share the data with a second PC, such as home

- Rounded design of the Sharp was also in the image of a "capsule". Adopted the body of the Moon Silver color with a sense of bright light

The ultra-lightweight body LaVie Z and by the above functions, the move is, of course, writing and processing documents and photos, to spend creative time unique full-fledged PC in a favorite place for outdoor cafes and parks You can.
