We discovered on AliExpress the new compact laptop NBook Ultra, one of the first of its kind to mount the AMD Ryzen 8000 and that we hope to see soon in mini PCs.
As we have already seen, these AMD Ryzen 8000 maintain the features of the 7000 series, but include an NPU core for AI. In this laptop we find specifically the powerful AMD Ryzen R7 8845HS with eight cores, sixteen threads and an NPU. This computer stands out for its design made of aluminum with a lid that opens up to 180º. On the front it mounts a 16″ IPS 2.5K touch screen up to no less than 165 Hz.
In addition, it has two USB-C 3.2 connectors with support for 100 W PD charging and video output. A laptop with quite small dimensions for the screen it offers.
NBook Ultra Specifications
