Fujitsu is going to release Windows 8 Ultrabook “LIFEBOOK UH90/L” on June 28.

“LIFEBOOK UH90/L” is a notebook PC with a 14 inch LCD touch panel. The thickest part is only 15.5 mm thick making it the thinnest Ultrabook. It was designed under the basic concept of “Katana” (Japanese sword), striving to make it both elegant and tough. It is manufactured in Japan through all steps of the manufacturing process.

The CPU is an Intel Core i5-4200U processor. It has a large capacity 500GB HDD and 2 USB3.0 ports with fast data transfer rates built-in.

Because of its 3200x1800dot IGZO LCD touch panel, the display is 2.7 times more fine than full HD and the pixel density is 262ppi. Fujitsu’s special touch panel surface treatment, called “Super glide coating” was given to the screen for smoother operational touch.

Price: open price
Release date: June 28
Colors: red, black
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 500GB Hybrid HDD
Wireless connection: Bluetooth v4.0＋HS, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, Intel WiDi
Size: 329.9 × 229.9 × 9.2〜15.5mm
Weight: 1.39kg

It turns out that if you take an Ultrabook-style 7mm hard drive and put it in a sleek enclosure, you end up with a portable HDD that’s barely any bigger, thicker or heavier than a smartphone. Toshiba guessed this might happen, and so it came up with a new addition to its Canvio range: the Canvio Slim, which sports 500GB of PC- and Mac-compatible luggage room, uses a single USB 3.0 connection for data and power, and is encased in either “graphite-black” or silver brushed aluminum. Look for it in stores from October priced around $115, including a three-year warranty.

Remember that mysterious new PS3 variant that passed through the FCC not too long ago? Although that listing didn’t have photos to confirm a redesign, a new one has hit Anatel (essentially Brazil’s version of the FCC) with a quartet of pictures in tow. Specifically, it cites models CECH-4011A, CECH-4011B and CECH-4011C, matching up well with the 4K labeling from the aforementioned FCC visit — if you’ll recall, the current PS3 Slim has a 3K model number. According to Tecnoblog, the the three models point to a shockingly storage-cramped 16GB version, along with 250GB and 500GB variants. While this Anatel document appears to be from Sony, we’d be remiss not to mention that we haven’t been able to load the photos as Tecnoblog has. In terms of looks, apart from appearing extra slim — and decidedly less attractive — the system notably seems to be rocking a top-loading disc drive (this would be a first for the PS3). For now, we’d advise taking this potential leak with a grain of salt, but rest assured that we’ll inform you if we hear anything official from Sony.
