AMD's new Ryzen 8000 family for low-power applications is here and starting to show up in new laptops and even mini PCs. One manufacturer in the latter category is standing out from the crowd with a new mini PC with a design that was popular in the 1980s but has since fallen out of favor, according to reports. Tom's Devices.
The manufacturer Linglong showed off the new computer on the Chinese YouTube equivalent Bilibili, and it's a computer that fits perfectly with a keyboard. In addition, it can be folded to fit in a large pants pocket or a small bag. The company will first manufacture 200 copies in a “test run” to determine if they are ready for mass production.
The computer is powered by a Ryzen 7 8840U with 8 Zen 4 cores and a max clock speed of 5.1GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 16MB L3 cache, and a TDP of 28W. The graphics chip is a Radeon 780M with 12 cores clocked at 2.7GHz. Connections are one each of USB 3.0 Type-A, USB 3.2 Type-C, and USB 4 Type-C, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth. The USB 4 port is primarily designed to connect a display via Displayport. Although it should be connected to an external display and thus should be close to a power outlet, Linglong has built in a 60Wh battery, giving the computer a relatively solid 800g weight.
Linglong is planning two models, one with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for around SEK 4,300 and another with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for around SEK 5,100.
