HP allegedly working on a Rockchip-powered notebook
HP EliteBook with Rockchip SoC
The Rockchip-powered notebook with HP EliteBook branding was spotted at the Hong Kong Global Sources Fair this week, For now, it runs Remix OS and has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage, but these might change until its launch, especially the operating system.
HP currently focuses on the Windows platform, although they also have a few Chromebooks on the market as well. However, it looks like a first Remix OS-driven notebook might soon hit the market. Even more, this portable was apparently spotted in Hong Kong and is powered by a Rockchip processor.
Notebook Italia spotted the pre-production version of the HP EliteBook-branded notebook with Remix OS on board earlier this week, during the Hong Kong Global Sources Fair trade show. Its highlights include a full HD 12.5-inch display, the hexa-core Rockchip RK3399 processor with Mali-T864 graphics, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB internal storage.
This portable has not been confirmed by HP yet, but it looks like an EliteBook and a Rockchip representative also calls it this way in the video below, so we only need to wait for its official unveil now. According to Rockchip, this notebook is scheduled to hit the market soon carrying "a big brand's name on it."

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
