The DC-ROMA was the first computer to ship with a RISC-V processor. It was first released in very limited quantities in late 2022 and became more widely available the following year. But with a 1. 5 GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core processor and comes with OpenKylin or Debian Linux operating systems.
The makers of the are now gearing up to release the DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II featuring a higher-performance SpacemiT RISC-V K1 2GHz octa-core processor, up to 16GB of RAM and Ubuntu Linux.
According to Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company, compared to the first model, the new edition “has doubled its overall functionality and energy efficiency. “
The new one features a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS LCD display with a 60 Hz refresh rate and an all-metal chassis that measures 323 x 209 x 17 mm (12. 7″ x 8. 2″ x 0. 7 ″). The DC-ROMA II weighs 1. 36 kg (3 pounds).
It comes with 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR4X memory and up to 1TB of SSD storage. There’s WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5. 2 and a 1080p webcam above the screen. The computer comes with Ubuntu 23. 10 Linux preinstalled.
Ports include:
There are also holes for quick startup and reset on the sides of the case.
But the most appealing thing about the DC-ROMA Laptop II is the fact that it will run on a processor based on the popular RISC-V open architecture. The chip used in this computer was developed through a Chinese company called SpacemiT, which also plans to launch its own computer, a single-board computer, and other devices – the K1 processor.
RISC-V is a relatively new architecture that isn’t as well-established as x86_64 or ARM and sometimes still doesn’t offer the same point of functionality as competing chips. But it has generated a lot of buzz in recent years as an imaginable option for those platforms. . . specifically among Chinese corporations facing industrial restrictions that may have effects on their source of chips from corporations doing business with the United States.
It’s unclear how much the DC-ROMA Laptop II will cost, but Canonical says it will be available for pre-order starting June 18.
The DC-ROMA II computer is now available with prices starting at $399.
Meanwhile, the original DC-ROMA retails for $1,022, but is currently available on DeepComputing’s website for $766.
But there are already less expensive tactics to get a PC with the same processor as the upcoming DC-ROMA II. The recently introduced Banana Pi BPI-F3 is a single-board computer with a SpacemiT K1 processor that sells for $63 and up (although that starting price is for a model with just 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage).

However, close to $800 is a pretty tough request for what’s still beta tech. This is far too comparable in terms of RRP to their much more capable x86-64 counterparts.
To be fair, it’s a complicated dilemma. Companies like these want to SELL FIRST, THEN increase their volume in order to be able to reduce costs in spite of everything.
I heard that there were some teething issues with BananaPi. . . I wonder if they are already resolved. Or can this Ubuntu symbol be displayed?
HP Keyboard. . . horrible
This is the Nexdock 2 keyboard as it uses the same shell. I’m not sure what you think about HP, but aside from being a little slippery compared to a Thinkpad, the keyboard is the smallest factor in the build of this device. This thing will be heavy for its size, flimsy in the corners, and fanless.
