Different companies created for years great laptops, unfortunately in the end many of them suffered from the same mistakes. This specification & white book can help in avoiding similar situations in the future. It contains clear rules and recommendations, which should be followed in modern laptops to make them environment and user-friendly. Such implementation is today very important especially, that wrong design in specific cases can be dangerous and has impact on users health (we don’t concentrate on using some chemicals during production process and it rather includes for example continuous irritation, eyes or ears problems).

First my reference system: black matt case, 1kg, 14” non-blinking Low Power LCD, 73Wh battery, practically no holes on the bottom, hinges opening with 180 degrees, etc.

Now let’s look on the market.

Few years ago Intel created X86S standard, where proposed removing some obsolete modes and instructions. Was it implemented? No.

Apple is preparing laptop with phone CPU, Android phones can be connected to external monitors and keyboards, laptops are used instead of desktops for gaming and there were some initiatives like Nextdock, where phone is connected to "notebook-like" case.

Where is currently border between all device classes?

Let's look on some thing:

Model	Battery	Screen	Weight
Fujitsu Zero	31Wh	14"	634g
Fujitsu FMV Note U	64Wh	14"	848g
Toshina Portege X40L-M	65Wh	14"	from 875g (some docs say 1050g)
Asus Zenbook A14	70Wh	14"	990g
Clevo (the whole series including L14xMU)	72Wh	14"	990g
GEEKOM GeeBook X14 Pro	72Wh	14"	999g
HONOR MagicBook Art 14 2025	60Wh	14,6"	1030g
Macbook Air 13 M4	53,8Wh	13,6"	1225g
Framework 13	61Wh	13,5"	1300g
upcoming Dell XPS 14	70Wh	14"	1380g

Do you see pattern? Why so many Asian laptops can have max. ca. 1kg and it's so problematic in US?

Fujitsu (Japan) could sell millions of devices... if they only want.

2026 started with CES (they’re about consumer products), where companies like AMD were just presenting government + corporate AI stuff. We have seen of course single laptops with (advertised) 29-40h battery life for video streaming and screens with 1Hz refresh rate (XPS 14 with Panther Lake), in short time we should get Nvidia ARM systems, but... RAM / SSD are more expensive and power efficient CPU are paired with very power hungry screens or systems are not available immediately (XPS 13). Curtain. Another curtain, because first reviews are quite marketing now and are just saying, that 16h on the battery is amazing (really? I have seen it few years ago).

My opinion: in this situation people will not replace their PC just because of brand, generation number or AI. They need hard facts showing how new systems could be better especially than you can buy thousands of new / used models today.

In last days I was deeply checking Macbook Air M4 Sky Blue version. You can find many reviews in the Internet, unfortunately they don’t say everything.

First some facts: Apple created very nice looking device with weight 1,24kg. It works without any sound (passive cooling), has got very nice keyboard and perfect touch-pad and offers quite stable 15h / 18h on the 53,8Wh battery (web browsing / video watching).

Few years ago I have bought Clevo L140MU branded by Polish Hyperbook. It was revolutionary in this time (36h after limiting power) and I even wrote few articles about setting it up. Shortly speaking: weight 1kg, battery 73Wh, LCD B140HAN06.2, fully black case, almost no holes in the bottom & SSD Samsung 980.

Some time ago I had to replace my phone because of screen - after years of using Samsung devices I found, that new screens are so bright, that PWM with 240 or 480 Hz is not good for my eyes (note: it's not good for anybody eyes, but some people don't feel it).

X86 - what's the future?

In this year we have seen:

1. information about Intel CPU instability from voltage and manufacturing process (13 and 14 gen)
2. relative weak performance of Arrow/Lunar Lake CPUs (Intel concentrated on power efficiency)
3. (initial?) problems with Ryzen 9000 series
4. Qualcomm delivering only part of promises & without faith in own platform. Currently we see canceled SDK mini PC, we don't have full compatibility, Linux support and CPUs are normally paired with power-hungry screens and small batteries (which doesn't make any sence).
5. AMD with paper AI 300 series. We don't have many systems with it, they seems to be too expensive (mini PC cost even 2x than prev gen), additionally almost all models come from Asus and sometimes we see such nonsenses like pairing with Nvidia cards.
6. AMD working together with Intel on extending x86 (they probably feel pressure from ARM and RISC-V)

Is x86 really dying?

I provide here some first mockups.

I provide here first version of README.md from two GitHub repositories.

In December I had ability of creating powerful ITX system with AMD Ryzen processor. After this build I created an article in Polish language describing with details problems found during it (see Największa niewiadoma 2020 to AMD (pełne case study budowy mocnego systemu ITX), here I wanted to make some extract and short conclusion in English language.

First last report from Chrome/Chromium:

Today there are 304 externally visible bugs (after 13 May 2019 three P0!), in code there are included 199 patches (1565 files changed, 18161 lines inserted, 19486 lines deleted) with such changes like:

Android set APNs according to SIM card network code, application makes it according to network code and network name saved on the SIM card:

1. none of user data (SIM card serial number, SIM card IMSI, SIM card network, phone network number) are saved in device or transmitted from device

2. application is changing internal phone APN database: can use internal database (you can export it) or external file with data, changes are done on user request, on the start or when network type change
