Lightweight 'FMV Zero' is only sold online in Japan, dammit

    Physical connectivity comes courtesy from an RJ45 socket, a pair of USB-A ports, a sole USB-C connector, a microSD slot, and an HDMI connection

    wasn’t expecting that

    Can you imagine having a 31 Wh battery for a meteor lake part?

    Also it may be light, but it isnt thin – it says it has a whole RJ-45 port! But other than that the IO is unusably limited.

      That would be awful. i have a laptop at roughly 31 Wh capacity and it was basically unusable with the 11th gen i5 intel cpu. 2 hours of usable battery life. Take into consideration that batteries tend to live at 80% capacity for a long while and then you realize that laptop will have a 24Wh capacity. Basically two smartphone batteries worth of capacity

      That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.

        Yeah but then it isn’t as light (but 250 grams is nothing tbh). The 64Wh one is 888 grams. Still less than a kilo which is very impressive. Just under 2 lbs.

        I also hate the lack of USB ports now. That’s about average for the “nice” laptops of this day and age. I hate juggling around my peripherals bc I don’t have enough type c ports. I do hope it’s a barrel plug for charging and not only USB C pd.

            In my experience, USB c is soldered to the main board while the plug is a small module thats attached to the module. It’s easier to replace a small module than replace a whole USB c port. Ideally it’d be on a seperate board too. But it might be a bit more complex.

            My sister broke one of the two USB c ports on her Thinkpad and if the second one breaks (both support charging), I can’t fix it easily without sending the motherboard out for repair and spending like $200.

            Edit: you can support both USB c and DC plugs. My laptop can (HP pavilion).

              Power delivery is just as likely to to be soldered to the motherboard as it is to be on a daughter board. It just depends on the particular model. This is for just about every brand.

              I still prefer lenovos square shaped charger ports over just about any other tbh.

                At least on my pavilion, it’s just one simple daughter board for one of the USB ports. It’s the one I use the most. I can replace it easily if it breaks. The pcb is also very simple so it ends up being very cheap.

                The square shaped one threw me for a loop the first time I worked in a computer with one.
