This is exciting. I've got a different brand laptop on the table. It's not just about Lenovo
0:06
This one's from Japan. It's the Fujitsu PC Lifebook. This is a direct ThinkPad competitor in the crazy thin, crazy light, durable, day-to-day laptop
0:17
They think they could challenge my love of the ThinkPad series, and they might be right
0:22
The brand has a storied history in the land of gadgets. Ooh, it's red. That's kind of cool
0:28
13.3 inch FHD touchscreen anti-glare. It's got a Core i5 8265U processor
0:37
Oh, it's also got an LTE module so you can always be connected
0:42
It's got something called Palm Secure. Now, I watched a video about this before this thing arrived
0:46
You can actually unlock it with the palm of your hand, which is kind of cool. How about that as well, Jack
0:51
Country of origin, Japan. Very rare in this day and age. So, hang on a second, that's a 13.3 inch laptop with a proper Intel processor coming in at
1:04
2 pounds. Now, I thought the X1 Carbon was ridiculously light at 2.5 pounds
1:12
Now we're talking 2 pounds? I'm going to have to look at the keyboard
1:18
The keyboard is going to have to be good if I'm going to be convinced to switch out my laptop
1:23
What? That's the laptop! What? Tiny. And light. Come on! That is ridiculous
1:36
That's the palm secure in order to unlock it. Would it be easier to steal someone's fingerprint
1:41
than their palm? Well, you could chop a finger off instead of a hand
1:47
Okay, you know what else is weird? There's a camera right here facing straight up
1:52
See this? What am I, do I, in case I want to do this
1:56
Have either of you guys determined what this up facing camera is by the display Hold on guys this thing flips all the way over as well I did not even
2:12
So it's a convertible also at two pounds. Do you flip around and you're snapping full
2:18
I doubt it. It's light looks like one power brick. This to me looks like a travel adapter
2:24
but then there's also a beefier one. You kind of leave this one at home
2:29
and then when you're on the go you take the little guy. Wow
2:33
They're just gonna give you a Thunderbolt 3 cable because why not
2:37
A pen! There's also pen input. It's a fairly slender little pen there
2:41
with some extra tips as well. Oh! And it looks like it fits into the unit also
2:46
It's a docking station! You're gonna have a single cable connection which is then gonna give you all these
2:52
extra desktop style ports the VGA port an HDMI port display port wired ethernet
2:59
connection to USB type A ports USB type C port audio L port powered USB type C
3:07
connector they thought about all of it so it starts at 1600 bucks that's it's
3:11
not crazy it goes right here at the front that's a good spot for it that's it
3:16
it's right in there right over here you can see that's your sim card tray by the
3:20
looks of it it's got an sd card reader it's got a usb type a there is a breakout style connector for
3:27
the wired internet connection what even is this port right now oh my god this is incredible they
3:36
have found a way to fit a wired ethernet jack in here that does this watch this
3:43
you use it when you need it you put it away when you don't it's incredible type c thunderbolt 3
3:48
connector also capable of powering the laptop as you can see indicated from this battery icon right here
3:54
another Thunderbolt 3 connection full HDMI USB type A and a headphone jack that versatility in a package that two pounds the keyboards got to be there else what are we doing the Okay
4:10
How is this deck not flexing more with something that feels this light you gotta love these magnesium materials
4:16
This laptop is like the opposite of how Apple approaches things Apple's like
4:22
bare minimum just give you what you need this product is like
4:26
give you everything you might ever need. First thing I noticed, the screen is a bit unusual because it's got this anti-glare
4:34
If you were to write on the screen, it seems like this offers some degree of protection
4:39
alongside the anti-glare attributes. This works like any other pen on a tablet style
4:46
You can also get this tent mode going on so you can save a little space in front
4:50
Now the face unlock actually works really well. I will, let's see if we can demo it here
4:56
Okay, so it looks for the face, the blue light, and boom, it unlocks
5:00
But they went a step further, man. There is this app that goes with this device
5:04
that takes security to a crazy next level. The security device is palm secure fingerprint
5:09
face recognition, presence sensor, passwords, and smart card RFID. There's a smart card slot over here on the left
5:16
So you could have, you could make it necessary to have multiple forms in order to get inside of the computer
5:22
Now, most of these are recognizable to me, but the palm secure is not something that I've used before
5:27
The way it works is that this scanner over here will read your palm, the veins in your palm, at a distance
5:33
So you don't actually even touch it in order to unlock. Now, it's a bit strange, you gotta line it up perfectly, but anyhow, I did register it, so I'm gonna log out real quick and show you how that works
5:44
Okay, palm secure hand vein recognition. So you just go, hold your palm, it will tell you if you're too low, too high
5:51
or if you have to move forward a little bit. And once you line it up, it just logs you in
5:58
Now, I don't know, do you get better at knowing where to place your hand over time Maybe I mean it looking at veins in your hands So you gotta be really concerned about what on here in order to go to that level i do it one more time maybe i line it up even
6:12
better let's see here oh i did get it better that time it was a bit faster the main takeaway is that
6:20
it's crazy light and it's got an enormous versatility import option display wise i'm
6:27
gonna say you know it's it's obviously a step back from the stuff that i've been looking at
6:31
on the latest X1 Carbon laptops, but yes, you get the pen input
6:35
and maybe most importantly for this particular laptop, you get the spin around factor
6:39
You get the tablet mode, the keyboard here, I'm okay with it
6:43
It's not ThinkPad level. There's a camera up here. At first, I'm like, what is that for
6:47
It turns out it's just a camera. It's just an improved camera from the webcam
6:51
Now, the webcam is 1080p. This over here is five megapixels, and the idea there is that just like on a phone
6:58
you have a rear-facing camera, So if I had to be in the corporate world snapping photos of the... I don't know, the new boardroom
7:06
The speakers I actually haven't tested yet, so let's go ahead and do that real quick
7:10
Okay, so the speakers are firing out the sides on the right or left. That's maxed out. It is not great speakers. The speakers might even be a step back from the previous generation X1 Carbon to be honest
7:24
The thing about this device, I feel like it's productivity first. It's functionality first
7:30
and then everything else second, right? Form, design, materials. It's like, let's pack as much functionality
7:36
into two pounds as we can. Now for me, I don't know if this could displace
7:41
my X1 Carbon on the day-to-day. But if I was on the go a little bit more
7:46
all of a sudden I'm counting pounds. And I'm like, huh, this is kind of like
7:51
the ultimate on the road executive. Maybe you're in sales. It's two pounds
7:58
You don't even notice you're carrying it. It honestly doesn't even feel real
8:02
It's kinda cool, I'm happy to look at it. Japan is back
