Fujitsu Lifebook U772/E Ultrabook Released in Japan: Core i5 With Ivy Bridge Features

Fujitsu is actually doing its best to jump into the ultrabook bandwagon and have a comfortable seat to be able to sell its devices. In a bid to attract more attention from tech enthusiasts, the company sported Intel’s Ivy Bridge with its Lifebook ultrabooks. Fujitsu sure knows that giving its ultrabooks different chipsets available in the market today would definitely turn people’s interest off wasting not just the investments but the opportunity to acquire great following. Popularity is one of the best commodities that manufacturers want to possess in the world of technology and so far, Apple is in the lead.

Fujitsu Lifebook U772/E Ultrabook comes with Intel’s 22nm model Core i5-3427U with 2 cores and clocked at 1.8 GHz. Apparently this processor is not as powerful as we think it is but the fact that it belongs to Intel’s Third Generation Ivy Bridge makes it as popular as the powerful chipsets Intel has built. But I want to reiterate that Fujitsu is actually going after the corporate market with this ultrabook so that explains why the company chose the processor with lower specs and clockspeed but economizes battery use.

There is no information about the amount of RAM the company has given to this device but we have good reasons to believe that it will get at least 4GB and if we are lucky enough, we might be getting 8GB. Reports indicated that Lifebook U772/E will be sporting both high-speed solid state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD). The SSD is actually often being used to serve as container for the operating system files and other system files. Since the company uses the high-speed models, both read and write would be faster.

It’s not really the specs that Fujitsu wants to sell these devices but the security features this model of ultrabooks possesses. Fujitsu Lifebook U772/E comes with a fingerprint sensor for biometrics scanning and a specialized security chip that would help the owner when he is feeling paranoid. Aside from these specs, Lifebook U772/E has a 14-inch LCD display, although we don’t have any idea what the resolution would be. But it could have been even better if Fujitsu used In-Panel Switching (IPS) LCD technology for its display knowing it offers richer and deeper picture. If not, it could have borrowed Samsung’s AMOLED technology just to provide first-class entertainment experience for the owners.

Fujitsu has become aggressive this year when it comes to releasing high-end tablets. This is evident that the company is actually on the right track to claiming its space in the world of technology where competition is a cutthroat. This might surprise you but Fujitsu will actually be marketing its Lifebook for 250,000 yen or around $3,200. So, if you have that amount of money, would you spend it to get one of these ultrabooks? Do you think that all of its specs and features are worth that sum of money? Well, share your opinion in light to this concern. You may leave comments below. If you have a first-hand experience with this ultrabook we would love to hear it.
