Dynabook unveils a laptop that weighs less than 1kg and has a feature I couldn’t find anywhere else: a replaceable battery
- Dynabook X8/Y and X6/Y powered by Intel Core processors
- Features a self-replaceable battery system, extending battery life
- Lightweight, durable design with MIL-SPEC standards; Battery life of 26 hours
Dynabook has introduced two new models in its premium laptop range, both powered by Intel’s 13th generation Core P processors.
The X8/Y is equipped with the Intel Core i7-1360P, while the X6/Y has the Intel Core i5-1340P.
The laptops weigh approximately 937 grams and are designed for portability while meeting MIL-SPEC standards, with a magnesium alloy chassis. JEITA 3.0 testing estimates battery life at up to 26 hours, and users can replace a new battery if performance declines.

Both laptops offer a self-replaceable battery system, allowing users to replace the battery as needed. Battery performance naturally declines over time, especially with heavy use and frequent charging. That’s why Dynabook has designed an easy-to-replace battery design that involves removing two screws on the battery cover and inserting the replacement battery.
Dynabook aims to minimize the need for battery replacement as X Series laptops are configured in “Auto Mode” by default. This mode adjusts charging between “100% charge mode” and “80% charge mode” based on usage patterns to extend battery life, especially when the device is plugged in often.
The X8/Y and X6/Y both come with 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 512 GB PCIe SSD. They feature a 13.3-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080, and the screen can be opened 180 degrees.

Additional features like AI noise cancellation and one-touch microphone mute support online meetings, and Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024 is included in both models. A one-year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription is also offered, which offers 100 GB of OneDrive storage and ad-free Outlook email.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-A, Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, HDMI, a microSD slot and fingerprint recognition.
The X8/Y is available in Dark Tech Blue and Dark Tech Silver and is expected to retail for around 270,000 yen (approximately $1,800), while the
