During a press event held at this year’s CeBIT fair, Japanese notebook maker Fujitsu has announced the introduction of the 13.3-inch Lifebook UH572 Ultrabook based on Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge processors.
The Lifebook UH572 is the company’s second Ultrabook after last year’s SH76/E which was based on Intel’s current Sandy Bridge processors.
Like all other Ultrabooks announced so far, the UH572 is also characterized by its thin-and-light chassis, which Notebook Italia found out weighs a mere 1.6kg.
Despite its light weight, both the lid and the bottom of Fujitsu’s latest creation use a sliver metal cover that adds a touch of style to the UH572 Ultrabook.
Moving past the looks of the Lifebook UH572, we get to see that Fujitsu’s ultra-thin is powered by a dual-core 1.7GHz (2.2GHz max Turbo Boost speed) processor that apparently is based on the 22nm Intel Ivy Bridge architecture.
In the model present at the company’s CeBIT booth, the Intel CPU was paired with 4GB of system memory.
The rest of the system configuration includes an SSD or a hybrid drive, USB 3.0 support, as well as an HDMI port for connecting the Fujitsu Ultrabook to an external display or HDTV.
Sadly, no details regarding the price or the availability of the Fujitsu Ultrabook have been provided by its maker.
Intel however isn’t expected to release its Ivy Bridge processors until the second part of April, which means that the Lifebook UH572 will make its appearance at the earliest in Q2 of 2012, although a Q3 release is just as probable.
In addition to the Lifebook UH572, Fujitsu’s 2012 Ultrabook lineup will also include a premium model weighing a mere 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), but no details regarding the specifications of this thin-and-light notebook have been made official so far.
