World's slimmest and lightest 14.1-inch notebook

Darius Chang | Dec 04, 2007

How often have we lamented that were the bezel around the LCD minimized, we could have a larger screen without having to increase the notebook's footprint. Well, Fujitsu obviously heard those comments and came up with the SlimEdge design that pushes the screen real estate to the edges of the LCD.

The LifeBook S6510 is the first model to benefit from this technology. Though it is essentially an upgrade from the 13.3-inch S6410, the S6510 manages to increase the display size to 14.1-inch while maintaining the same form factor as its predecessor. As a result, Fujitsu claims it is the slimmest and lightest 14.1-inch portable in the world and, at 1.7kg light, we find it hard to disagree. A Fujitsu representative intimated that the SlimEdge technology will be extended to at least another LifeBook model, though he was unable to disclose exactly which line this would fall under.

However, expect to pay a premium for this HSDPA-connected machine as, at S$3,988 (US$2,889.86), it certainly takes a big heart and an even bigger wallet to buy one as a Christmas gift.

Hi Darius

It seems a little exaggerating when you mentioned World's lightest 14.1 inch notebook.

I have seen and read notebooks which are lighter than the mentioned 1.7kg.
