ULTRA COMPACT, ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT
Boasting cutting-edge technology, the Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 weighs in barely at 500g, and is typically half the weight of a netbook. Less than an inch in thickness, the 20.4cm x 10.65cm body mimics the size of a long wallet and comfortably sits inside any handbags and even your pocket! 

Viewing comfort is not compromised with the 5.6-inch vivid glare screen that is typically 60% to 80%  bigger than commercial mobile handsets.

FULL-FEATURED PC CAPABILITIES
Keeping up with the constant demand of mobility on-the-go, the Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 is the perfect travel companion with its 5.6-inch vivid glare screen at 300nits brightness. Boasting a sunlight readable WXGA display with bonding technology, superb video viewing and text browsing outdoors will be an easy feat. Fully capable of displaying a full-width web page, the UH900 also supports all windows-based pages including flash animation and forms-filling.

Thoughtfully designed to outperform in PC convenience, the Fujitsu LifeBook UH900’s mobility is further exemplified with its 5 thumb-controlled Touch Buttons panel at the flanks of the screen such as resolution change, ECO button for extending battery life up to 3 hours or to launch media programs, or you may program these 3 buttons to your favourite applications. Page up and down viewing is also made simple with a single touch of a button as well.
