SH771 in the design of the keyboard up and down a lot of effort, unique Natural Fit Shu “arc” color anti-leakage chocolate keyboard, which is designed for business professional custom keyboard, keyboard keys feel a lot better than regular chocolate, the key process unlike ordinary chocolate keyboard so short, while the bottom blue layer thickness also increases the keycap, narrowing the gap between the keycap and the panel, and therefore has a good anti-leakage performance for business users with further safety and security.

Fujitsu SH771 distinctive keyboard design, many new elements into one. Class C surface using the entire skin panel paint coating, soft and delicate touch and feel than regular paint surface matte surface or to comfort a lot. Mainly black overall, tend to business in this style of calm, the atmosphere, like the overall skin texture also makes quite a sense of grade for CANON BP-911 battery.

In addition, ECO button on the left side of the screen frame, we can also see a light sensor, it can according to surrounding light to intelligent control screen brightness.

Shoulder in the SH771 right of the keyboard, the design of energy-saving ECO button, ECO energy-saving program is Japanese notebook manufacturers prefer to use a set of energy-saving system that can control through software, depending on use environment to help users maximize battery power savings, extend the life time. ECO button in the neighborhood, set up speakers, power button and three indicator functions.

In 2011, there are so many changes in the electronic products field. In the eyes of many people, the homogenization of the notebook and market penetration has led to stagnation vent, while new hand-held mobile terminals with flat areas are also eaten by the original Sony Vaio vpcef20 battery notebook market share. Each listing of a new notebook in addition to mold and change the configuration on the outside, as if no longer any bright spot to continue to attract consumers, market laptop industry in recent years with the rapid development and gradually solidified saturated.

Just when the company into a loss, Intel has given new hope to the market, Ultrabook give birth like fresh blood into the notebook market, and manufacturers of positive interaction, but also to Ultrabook laptop to a more intuitive way in front of consumers. Computex Taipei 2011 show, Intel was first proposed “Ultrabook” concept. The September IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Intel and PC makers reached a depth of cooperation, and confirm the end of the year will be “Ultrabook” Notebook PC market for CANON BP-911 battery, in another hemisphere of the U.S. summit in San Francisco IDF Intel “Ultrabook” product once again become the focus of media attention . There are many experts in bold speculation, the United States in 2012 in Las Vegas CES show, Intel Ivy Bridge 22nm CPU architecture to Ultrabook notebook products will bring real spring.

Admittedly Ultrabook birth is a process from scratch, manufacturers are also unprecedented for Ultrabook heat. But really, as they say, behind Ultrabook the same promising Me? I also Ultrabook development this year to reflect on your interpretation of the secret hidden behind the Ultrabook.

In 2008 when the first Apple MacBook Air (hereinafter referred to as MBA) was born, the world amazed by its thin and light design as APPLE a1175 battery books. At that time, Intel is still brewing the light of this concept until 2009, was introduced low-voltage processors CULV notebook. The originator of the theory of light, MBA a year earlier than the CULV exactly. Unfortunately, CULV notebook performance loss because of heavy losses in the market under the defeated, thus declaring CULV Period. After the beginning of the year 2011, the market no CULV sound.

2011 third-generation Apple updated the MacBook Air products, in addition to light and portable, the performance has been very greatly improved. The thin and light notebook market with CULV notebook netbook die, the urgent need for new transformation, so the major PC manufacturers finally unable to bear loneliness, extreme joint Intel introduced the concept of super-Ultrabook, and test the water several PC makers , the super pole to reveal the real capacity of the product. Whether to imitate, most manufacturers have their own views, and believes his demands different products and MBA, the MBA is more like the Ultrabook upgrade and integration.

As R & D cost constraints and market uncertainty, now we can see only a few manufacturers do Ultrabook, and as of the date of writing this article the author, only one company that began selling its Ultrabook products. More vendors choose to watch. Many people think that 2011 is Ultrabook the opening year, 2012 will have a large number of Ultrabook market, in my opinion, all this is unknown.

Ivy Bridge after the platforms Ultrabook competition, can not resist the shackles of the major manufacturers to design their own products, but also usher in a very real problem, what is the ultra extreme of this? The definition of who exactly should be developed? I believe this will set off a war of words between the various manufacturers.
