Colorful Launches Rimbook S1 Laptop with Improved 13th Gen Intel CPU
Hardware maker Colorful has announced the Rimbook S1 as the latest addition to its laptop family, which is designed to provide reliable performance for all-day chores and caters to students at schools, home users, and professionals seeking a practical and affordable machine.
Rimbook S1 Key Specifications
The Rimbook S1 is made for portability and efficiency, with an ultra-slim and lightweight build suited for users on the go. Main specifications include:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-13420H (8-core/12-thread).
- Memory: 16 GB of DDR4 RAM.
- Storage: 512 GB SSD.
- Display: 14 inches in size with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels.
- The design: 1.79 cm thick and weighs 1.48 kg.
- Battery: 60 Wh.
- Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 6 and a lot of USB ports.
How Rimbook S1's Upgrades Outdo the L1
The Rimbook S1 is a direct upgrade from the previous Rimbook L1 model, and key differences include:
- CPU Performance: The S1 moves from Core i5-12450H in the L1 to Core i5-13420H. While both CPUs are based on an 8-core/12-thread design, the 13th-gen chip has higher base and boost clock speeds (up to 4.6 GHz vs. 4.4 GHz).
- Portability and Display: The S1 is smaller with an L1 display of 15.6 inches versus the 14-inch. This correlates directly with a weight reduction of a 200+ gram margin. Another positive, the S1 offers a higher resolution to its display (1920x1200).
- Battery Life: The battery size has been slightly modified to an impressive 60 Wh for the S1 as opposed to a 50 Wh one onboard the L1.
The other specifications remain mostly unchanged, from 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 512 GB of SSD storage to the general port selection.
Pricing and Availability
Colorful Rimbook S1 is priced at $439 (excluding VAT). Availability is likely to vary from region to region.
