# Competitively Thin Ultrabooks The Fujitsu Lifebook UH90/L is By Far the World’s Thinnest Lap By Jen Chae | Published 2013-06-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujitsu-lifebook References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2013/06/05/fujitsu-uh90-ultrabook/) The new 0.61 inches-thick [Fujitsu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laptop-design-concept) Lifebook UH90/L is by far the world’s thinnest 14-inch ultrabook. Though it’s nearly half an inch in thickness, its “ultra-compressed, solid core” design can withstand up to 200 kilogram-force. Its battery is also expected to last 11 hours. That’s impressive for a device so compact and high in quality. The Lifebook has a touch-screen display panel with IGZO technology for a top-notch display resolution (3200x1800). The HD touchscreen laptop runs Windows 8 with a 4th Generation [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraslim-laptop) Core processor. The specific type of Intel processor used, called Haswell, prolongs up to 50 per cent more of battery life. Extending the battery life was a necessary move on Fujitsu, in an ever so competitive market of laptops vs. tablets. The UH90/L is set to launch in Japan later this month. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Thinnest Ultrabooks:** The trend of designing ultrabooks with thinner profiles and compact sizes opens up possibilities for more portable and lightweight devices. - **High-resolution Display Panels:** The trend of incorporating high-resolution display panels, such as the IGZO technology in the Lifebook UH90/L, enables users to experience stunning visuals and improved image quality. - **Extended Battery Life:** The trend of utilizing advanced processors, like the Haswell, to extend battery life addresses the need for longer usage time in highly competitive markets like laptops vs. tablets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can benefit from the trend of designing thinnest ultrabooks by creating more innovative and sleek devices to meet the demands of style-conscious consumers. - **Display Technology:** The display technology industry can explore and invest in high-resolution panels, such as IGZO, to cater to the growing demand for visually stunning and immersive displays in various electronic devices. - **Mobile Computing:** The mobile computing industry can seize the opportunity of extended battery life to develop more power-efficient devices that enhance user experience and provide longer usage time for on-the-go professionals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightweight Ultra-Slim Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraslim-laptop.md) - [Super-Lightweight Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x40l-k.md) - [Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-laptop.md) - [Ultra-Slim Professional Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tecno-megaboook-t1.md) - [Ultra-Slim Gaming Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x14.md) - [Durable Featherlight Laptop Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-gram-superslim.md) - [Featherweight Portable Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-laptops.md) - [Slim Military-Grade Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-expertbook-b9.md) - [Ultra Thin Power-Efficient Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swift-edge-16.md)
