Dynabook has announced the launch of the latest business laptops in its Portégé line which were specifically designed with hybrid work in mind.
Building upon the success of the company's Portégé X30L which debuted in 2020, the all-new Portégé X40L-K is a hyperlight 14-inch laptop which is among the first in a wave of new laptops from Dynabook to leverage the enhanced performance, efficiency and security offered by the combination of 12th Gen Intel Core P-Series 28W processors, LPDDR5 memory and Windows 11 Pro.
In addition to weighing just 2.3lbs (1.04kg), the new device is just 15.9mm thin and has been engineered to meet MIL-STD-810H standard for both strength and durability. The Portégé X40L-K can be outfitted with a 12th Gen Intel Core P-Series i5 or i7 processor with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and up to 32GB of onboard LPDDR5 memory. Dynabook's new laptop also features a 14-inch Eyesafe 16:10 IPS display with an 85-percent screen-to-lid ratio with a four-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system all powered by a large 65Wh battery.
When it comes to video conferencing, Dynabook Online Meeting Assist utilizes AI to ensure faces are bright and visible, blur backgrounds and automatically keep a user's face centered in frame. Meanwhile, 360-degree dual-array microphones allow voices to be picked up omnidirectionally so that users can freely move around their office or home workspace while still being heard.
