The lightest AMD laptop ever just launched in Japan — and it seems to defy the laws of physics with a 24-hour battery life
Sharp’s Dynabook has launched a high-end 13-inch laptop in Japan that can achieve a whopping 24 hours of battery life, but starts at a cool 393,800 yen (about $2,600).
Equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U or Ryzen 5 7530U CPU, the Dynabook GA83/XW includes up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB NVMe SSD. Due to its thickness of 17.9 mm, this is not one of the thinnest business notebooks. But it is certainly one of the best laptops with long battery life and the most versatile notebooks, considering its battery life of 17.5 to 24 hours and a weight of 875 grams.
But one of the most notable features is the airflow and cooling system. Dynabook used thermal fluid analysis to understand airflow within the case and designed the chassis to dissipate heat as quickly and effectively as possible.
This is the lightest AMD enterprise notebook
Elsewhere, the 13.3-inch non-glare LCD screen has a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and can be purchased with touchscreen capabilities. The AI-equipped webcam is equipped with a physical privacy shutter and optional facial recognition. This is in addition to the choice of a fingerprint sensor.
It includes two USB-C 3.1 ports and two USB-A 3.0 ports, as well as an Ethernet port that can reach gigabit speeds, a microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack. This comes alongside an optional LTE modem, so you can work on the go, and Bluetooth 5.1.
This is not the lightest laptop you can buy in the world, but it is the lightest notebook with an AMD processor. It is 10 grams lighter than the Lifebook U9311A launched in 2021. This was equipped with a choice of AMD Ryzen 5 4500U or Ryzen 4700U CPUs.
That is the lightest laptop currently on sale Lenovo’s FMV UH-X 4ZR1L13925, which launched in August. But like Dynabook’s latest entry into the business notebook space, it won’t be sold outside Asia. This machine, which contains an Intel Core i5-1335U chip, weighs just 868 grams.
However, even that isn’t the lightest laptop ever built. That would be Lenovo’s 2018 FMV UH-X 4ZR0X81523, which weighed 778 grams.
