Dynabook's New Windows Laptop Has a Replaceable Battery and Copilot

Dynabook Portégé Z40L-N: A Lightweight Laptop with Unexpected Features

While lightweight and durable laptops are common, the Dynabook Portégé Z40L-N stands out with its user-replaceable battery—a rare feature in today's increasingly slim devices. This laptop bucks the trend of removing essential features like replaceable batteries, ports, and upgradable RAM in pursuit of thinner designs.

The Z40L-N boasts a magnesium alloy chassis, contributing to its MIL-SPEC certification for resilience against drops, shocks, and harsh conditions (meeting MIL-STD-810H standards). Despite its slim profile, it retains full-size ports, including USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, and USB-A, eliminating the need for adapters.

Copilot Smarts and Replaceable Battery

The Z40L-N is a Copilot PC, a new Dynabook category encompassing laptops, desktops, and tablets. This designation signifies high performance, long battery life, and the capability to run local AI and machine learning models.

What is a Copilot PC?

The key is the integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Every Copilot PC features a dedicated NPU for local machine learning, enhancing AI capabilities. The Z40L-N utilizes the latest Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) with four times more powerful NPUs for accelerated AI processing. It also includes Wi-Fi 7 and Intel Arc Graphics.

AI features for business professionals include Live Captions for audio/text transcription, touch-free gesture controls, enterprise-grade security, and Windows Studio Effects (AI-powered video call enhancements like improved lighting and eye contact correction).

Dynabook, a Sharp subsidiary (having acquired Toshiba's laptop business), is the manufacturer. While precise CPU, RAM, and storage configurations remain undisclosed, the starting price is $1,699, and it comes with a 3-year warranty. The Portégé Z40L-N is available now from authorized Dynabook partners.
