Dynabook has just launched three laptops that weigh only 849 grams each. That’s lighter than most tablets. The new G8, G6, and GS models promise to deliver serious performance while staying featherlight, making them ideal for business travellers, students, and anyone tired of lugging bulky machines. The laptops feature modern processors, long battery life, and full connectivity, all in a sleek design. But what exactly do these superlight notebooks bring to the table? Read on.

A laptop lighter than anything you’ve seen before
At under 850 grams, Dynabook’s new laptops are dramatically lighter than most so-called “thin and light” machines, which typically hover between 1.2 and 1.5 kilograms. This makes them a unique proposition for people who are constantly on the move. Whether you are rushing between meetings, working from a café, or commuting with your laptop in a backpack, that weight difference is noticeable.
What makes this especially interesting is that Dynabook has managed to maintain the same weight across three different models. That means buyers can choose based on features and budget rather than being forced into a heavier design if they want better specifications. For context, a 13.3-inch display, multiple ports, and powerful internals are all included, so there is no sense that you are sacrificing everyday usability to save a few grams.
Of course, designing something this light usually comes with tough engineering decisions. Brands often have to compromise on cooling solutions, chassis rigidity, or the number of ports. But Dynabook has tried to strike a balance, retaining HDMI, USB-A, Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet, and even a microSD slot while still achieving this ultra-light profile.
Features, price, specs
The flagship in the lineup is the Dynabook G8, powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra 7 or Ultra 5 processors, paired with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. It comes with a 13.3-inch non-glare display, facial recognition login, a 2 MP webcam with privacy shutter, and a healthy set of I/O options including Thunderbolt 4. Battery life is equally impressive, promising up to 11 hours of video playback and nearly 28 hours on idle use.
The G6 sits just below, carrying a Core Ultra 5 chip and a similar combination of RAM and storage. It mirrors the design and weight of the G8 while retaining the same display and port selection. For many users, this model could represent the sweet spot of performance and value without stepping up to the higher-end Ultra 7 configuration.
Finally, the GS variant trims the specification slightly, shipping with the same Intel Ultra 5 processor and 16 GB of RAM, but reducing storage to 256 GB. This makes it the more budget-friendly option in the lineup, while still offering the same sub-850 gram portability and long battery endurance. Depending on region, some GS models may use fingerprint recognition instead of facial recognition, but otherwise the design language is consistent.
Dynabook has not yet announced international pricing, with the laptops expected to launch in Japan first before rolling out to global markets. For Indian buyers, availability and price tags will likely determine how competitive they are against the current crop of ultrabooks from Lenovo, ASUS, and Dell. If Dynabook can position these machines smartly, they could become some of the most desirable ultraportables of 2025.
