Fujitsu Announces New FMV Note Models to launch Winter 2026 in Japan. Fujitsu is adding four new models to their FMV Note line, set to launch in Japan for Winter 2026. These new FMV Note models offer new hardware for the Japanese market, including touchscreens, optical drives, and rugged models. If you were hoping for a particular form-factor or legacy ports, you have some new options to consider in the spectrum.

New FMV Note C, M, A, and Q models bring touch, optical drives, and rugged designs

The FMV Note C is Fujitsu's 13.3" entry level model, complete with a touch screen and Dolby Vision. It comes with AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 processor. The FMV Note M is aimed at those requiring a lot of connectivity and serviceability, with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 1GbE RJ-45, and Wi-Fi 7. Under the hood is an Intel Core Ultra (Wildcat Lake) 3rd Gen processor.

If you're a bit old school and need to put something physical in, the 16.0" FMV Note A model has an optional DVD Super Multi Drive. It supports AMD Ryzen AI processors too. Finally, the FMV Note Q is an 11.6" rugged 2-in-1 model. Weighing around 1198g, the FMV Note Q uses Intel N150 or N250 (Twin Lake) processors.
