Fujitsu’s New Ultrabooks Don Bold Styling

Fujitsu has released two new Ultrabooks inspired by the Japanese philosophy Takumi, where quality and performance is integrity.

The new additions to Fujitsu’s portfolio are the 14″ U772 and the 13.3″ UH572, both of which meet Intel’s Ultrabook standards on design and performance.

Fujitsu is particularly proud of the 14″ variant as it is the thinnest Ultrabook in its category, measuring just 15.6mm at its thickest.

Both Ultrabooks are powered by Intel’s 3rd generation Ivy Core processors, host a suite of intelligent security features and are characterised by chiselled good looks.

Typically I focus on innovations and specifications when detailing a new product, but the exquisite craftsmanship makes these Ultrabooks look good even in red; much like a Ferrari.

Appearance aside, the U772 features a 14″ HD LED backlit LCD screen, Intel HD 4000 Graphics and supports the latest DirectX 11.

Users who value security will appreciate the U772’s BioLock, Hard Disk Lock and Anti-theft Lock slot. It also has a finger print sensor and in the event it is stolen or lost, can be remotely wiped through Absolute Data Protect technology.

On its fine sides are two USB 3.0 ports, a SD card slot, a full HDMI port and a headphone jack. For internet on the go, an optional inbuilt modem (4G/LTE or 3.5G/UMTS) can be nominated.

Fujitsu’s 13.3 inch Ultrabook, the UH572, adheres to the same philosophies advocated by its larger sibling.

Whereas the U772 primarily targets professionals/prosumers, the UH572 uses its Superfine LCD screen and DTS Boost Enhancement sound system to appease multimedia users.

It has a built in High Definition camera that recognises when you’re absent, pausing and resuming operations accordingly. This power-conscious mentality is prevalent throughout the UH572, to the extent it makes use of a low voltage CPU, contributing to its 5-hour battery life.

It’s also rich in next-gen connectivity, including high-speed USB and SDXC / MS Duo Card slots, Bluetooth 4.0 and WLAN, and features the same BioLock, Hard Disk Lock and Anti-theft Lock slot found in the U772.

Fujitsu’s U772 and UH572 are available now from distributors Bluechip Infotech and Multimedia technology for $2,488 and $1,888 respectively.
