Lenovo has quietly launched the world’s lightest laptop, but won’t be selling it outside of Asia
The world’s lightest 13.3-inch business laptops are also one of the hardest to get your hands on thanks to Lenovo’s decision to only market the device in Singapore and Japan.
Marketed under the Fujitsu brand, parent company Lenovo released the FMV UH-X series just four months ago without much fanfare. This is something we can hardly believe given the potential packed into such a light package, with the lightest model of the three – the snappy named 4ZR1L13925 – weighing just 868g.
While the FMV UH-X 4ZR1L13925 is certainly the world’s lightest 13.3-inch laptop currently available, it doesn’t hold the all-time record for the world’s lightest laptop. That’s from a 2018 predecessor, the FMV UH-X 4ZR0X81523, which weighed 778g.
The current UH-X series, complemented by the 888g 4ZR1L13926 and 918g 4ZR1L13927, is designed with a magnesium chassis that has been put to the test with rigorous MIL-STD shock and vibration testing, Lenovo claims.
The 886g model is only equipped with an Intel Core i5-1335U chip, but you can upgrade to an Intel Core i7-1360P processor in the two higher-end models. All iterations are paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
We’re also amazed at the breadth of ports the manufacturer offers, with the FMV UH-X Series including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, HDMI, microSD, and an Ethernet RJ-45 port. All this despite the weight and thickness of up to 17.3 mm (with the thinnest model at 15.8 mm).
This is in addition to a battery life of up to 16.5 hours, based on Lenovo’s claims, as well as fast charging that can charge the machine to 80% charge in under an hour. The manufacturer has also packed the FMV UH-X devices with business features, including AI noise reduction and AI camera effects, in addition to a webcam shutter to increase privacy and a fingerprint scanner, compatible with Windows Hello.
You can currently purchase the machine through regional suppliers Lazada and Shoppee, with these three devices available for between $1,799 and $2,199. This is roughly equivalent to how much you would expect to pay for, say, the HP Elite Dragonfly G3.
