Japanese brand unveils lightweight laptop with up to 32 GB RAM and Ryzen 7 APU

Japanese brand Mouse Computer has announced yet another laptop, dubbed the MousePro G2. As the name suggests, the premium laptops features quite a few features that earns it the Pro moniker.

A look at the specifications chart clearly show that the MousePro G2 is very similar to the Mouse X2 we have reported don earlier - both laptops feature AMD APUs, including the Ryzen 5 216, Ryzen AI 5 340, and Ryzen AI 7 350 APUs. 

Unsurprisingly, the 8-core AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is the most powerful of the bunch, maintaining a roughly 48% lead over the entry-level Ryzen 5 216 APU. The mid-range Ryzen AI 5 340, on the other hand, is around 12% faster than the 216.

Most moderately intensive workloads soul be doable on all the SKUs, although those with particularly CPU-intensive workloads will certainly be better off with the Ryzen AI 7 350-powered variant. Up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM can be equipped, courtesy of a single SODIMM slot.

An M.2 2280 slot manages storage, and Mouse offers optional SED drives for secure storage. Unlike the Mouse X2, which features 100 kgf resistance (top-cover), the MousePro G2 double it to 200.

Like the Mouse X2, the MousePro G2 features a 12.2-inch LCD with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. Mouse claims complete coverage of the sRGB color gamut, although color accuracy performance remains unclear.

The I/O on offer has been detailed below:

• Dual USB 4, dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• 1G Ethernet, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5
• HDMI
• microSD (UHS I)
• Optional nanoSIM slot with 4G connectivity
• 3.5 mm audio jack

More noteworthy features, pricing, and availability

Other notable features include a 60 Wh battery rated for 12.5 hours of web browsing, MIL-STD-810H certification, 2 MP front camera with Windows hello, stereo speakers, dual array mics, and a lightweight chassis weighing in at just 979 grams or 2.16 lbs.

The Ryzen AI 5 340 and Ryzen 5 216-equipped variants are already available for purchase in Japan, directly from Mouse's official store. The first SKU is priced at a whopping 252,780 Yen or roughly $1,600, packing 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB M.2 SSD.

The lower-end, entry-level SKU is priced at 208,780 Yen or roughly $1,309 and ships with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB M.2 SSD. Thankfully, the memory is easily upgradeable, as stated earlier.

Mouse Computer is very much a Japan-only brand, making the MousePro G2 laptop's global rollout quite improbable. Customers can always go the import route, or settle for a similarly equipped laptop, such as the IdeaPad Slim 5i, currently available for $1,184 on Lenovo's official US store..
