Orico intros its first laptop with AMD power, lightweight design, and rich port selection

Orico is now more than an accessory oor peripheral brand. Its product portfolio now includes mini PCs and laptops, with the former sporting designs that are inspired by the Apple Mac mini and Mac Pro. As for the latter, the Obook Ultrabook is the first entry, and it has a design that's very different than mainstream notebooks.

To be specific, it comes with a port-rich design, featuring a total of nine I/O options on the sides. As for the port configuration of the Orico Obook, it's as follows:

• 1x full-function USB-C
• 1x 5 Gbps USB Type-C
• 1x HDMI
• 3x 5 Gbps USB Type-A
• 1x TF 3.0 card slot
• 1x Gigabit Ethernet
• 1x 3.5 mm audio

Under the hood, the Orico Obook features the Ryzen 7 7735HS, which is from the Rembrandt-HS refresh lineup with eight Zen 3+ cores. This AMD processor also has the Radeon 680M iGPU, a reasonably capable integrated GPU that can handle many games at the 1080p resolution with the visuals at the low preset.

The AMD CPU can be paired with up to 32 GB of RAM and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage (2 TB Samsung 990 Evo Plus curr. $149.99 on Amazon). Orico also highlights the 14-inch IPS display of the laptop, which is said to cover 100% of the sRGB space and has a 16:10 aspect ratio. Among the other highlights are a 180° hinge, a lightweight build, WiFi 6, and a 57.5 Wh battery.

Orico's Obook Ultrabook is currently available in China with a starting price of CNY 3,299, around $464. There's no word about international availability yet, but Orico tends to offer most of its products in the global market.
