ORICO Enters Laptop Market With Obook 15 AI Laptop

ORICO, usually known for its storage and connectivity solutions, is officially entering the PC market with its first laptop design, the Obook 15 AI Laptop. For this initial design, the company has chosen AMD's Ryzen 7 6800H SoC, an eight-core, 16-thread mobile processor that can boost up to 4.7 GHz. The integrated Radeon 680M graphics handle visuals, and memory configurations include options of 12 GB or 24 GB running at 6,400 MT/s. Buyers can select up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and a second M.2 slot allows for storage expansion up to 4 TB. While not running the latest SoCs from AMD, the system wants to be a competitive solution price-wise. Obook 15 runs on Windows 11 out of the box and features a cooling system with selectable Eco, Normal, and Performance modes for fan profiles.

The Obook 15 boasts a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, an anti-glare finish, 170-degree viewing angles, and wide-frequency dimming. It includes Wi-Fi 6, a 54.29 Wh battery, and a bundled 100 W charger. Additional features include a 180-degree hinge, a physical webcam shutter, a full-size keyboard with a number pad, and a wide selection of ports. ORICO lists US prices starting at $689.99 for the version with 12 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. A 12 GB/512 GB version is priced at $749.99, while the top configuration with 24 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage costs $899.99. The Obook 15 is now available in the United States and the Philippines, targeting students, office users, and content creators with its attractive price points, especially for this day and age, amid memory and storage shortages.
