Many businesspeople probably use notebook PCs for work when traveling on business trips or for other long periods of time. People who travel frequently require notebook PCs with performance that enables them to do their business work comfortably, operability that is easy to use even in cramped spaces such as bullet trains and airplanes, battery life that is reliable even if there is no power outlet, and a sturdy body that is safe even in congested areas.
NEC’s 14-inch notebook PC “LAVIE NEXTREME (X1475/JAS)” meets all of these requirements. In this article, we will introduce its convenience while actually using it on the Shinkansen bullet train.
First, let’s touch on the basic specifications of the LAVIE NEXTREME (X1475/JAS). Measuring 313.6 x 222.9 x 19.8 mm, it is close to A4 size and weighs 1.39 kg. 14-inch display is large enough to work for a long time and has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:10, which is vertically long, making it easy to view web browsers and documents.
The CPU is AMD’s latest “Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360,” with 8 cores and 16 threads running at up to 5 GHz, enough performance to handle business work. In addition, it has an AMD Radeon 880M GPU, which can play many games, and an NPU, which is an AI-specific processor. It is versatile enough to handle work, play, and AI.

As a measure of its high performance, here are its PCMark 10 scores, which measure overall performance by running various PC applications.
PCMark 10 has a comfort level of 4100+ for Essentials, 4500+ for Productivity, and 3450+ for Digital Content Creation. All of these scores are more than double, indicating that it can run many applications comfortably. It is also strong in gaming and video encoding, but if you want to know more, check out the related articles below, where many of the performance tests were conducted.
In terms of operability, in addition to a keyboard with built-in backlight that is easy to use even in dark places, the device is equipped with both a pointing device and a touchpad for mouse cursor operation, making it convenient to use both according to preference and situation. The pointing device is especially useful on small tables, such as those on bullet trains and airplanes, because it can be operated without taking one’s hands off the keys.
Battery life was tested using “Procyon Office Productivity battery life,” which measures battery life under real-world conditions with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook running. The battery life was tested using Microsoft’s “Procyon Office Productivity battery life,” which measures battery life in a real-world environment running Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
With the default power setting of “Balanced” and screen brightness at 50%, the battery lasted 10 hours and 36 minutes from 100% to 2%, a runtime that is more than sufficient for even long trips. In addition, a “long battery” mode is available to further extend battery life, albeit at a slightly reduced performance level.
As for carrying, it complies with the U.S. military standard MIL-STD-810H, which requires the product to pass tests under severe conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock. It has a tough body designed for daily carry and use.
