Orico, best known for its accessories and hubs, is now building full-fledged laptops. Its first notebook, the Obook Ultrabook, marks a shift into the PC market and it’s not holding back on ports or performance.
Orico Obook Ultrabook adds AMD power to the mix
Orico equips the Obook Ultrabook with the Ryzen 7 7735HS, a refreshed Rembrandt-HS processor featuring 8 Zen 3+ cores and a Radeon 680M integrated GPU. While the iGPU doesn’t handle AAA titles at max settings, it delivers solid performance in 1080p gaming on low presets making it more capable than most ultrabooks in its class.
It can be configured with up to 32 GB of RAM and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage, giving it room for both creative workloads and extended media libraries.
Orico laptop design favors function over flash
Instead of chasing ultra-thin trends, Orico is packing in functionality. The Obook offers a total of 9 I/O ports, with a layout that makes dongles optional. Here’s the port list:
- 1× full-function USB-C
- 1× 5 Gbps USB Type-C
- 3× 5 Gbps USB Type-A
- 1× HDMI
- 1× TF 3.0 card slot
- 1× Gigabit Ethernet
- 1× 3.5 mm audio jack
Combined with a 14-inch IPS screen (100% sRGB, 16:10 ratio) and a 180° hinge, it’s clear Orico designed the Obook with work, media, and multitasking in mind.
Orico Obook Ultrabook targets mid-range buyers
Weighing in at just under 1.5 kg and equipped with WiFi 6 and a 57.5 Wh battery, the Obook Ultrabook balances mobility with utility. It’s currently on sale in China for CNY 3,299 (around $464). While there’s no official word on international availability, Orico generally launches globally so a wider release is likely.
Orico laptop could win over port-heavy users
With its AMD muscle, generous port selection, and straightforward build, the Orico Obook Ultrabook plays to function-first users. It’s a practical start for a brand making its laptop debut and a promising sign for what comes next.
