DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II with SpacemIT K1 octa-core SoC to run Ubuntu supported by Canonical
Quoting: DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II with SpacemIT K1 octa-core SoC to run Ubuntu supported by Canonical - CNX Software —
Deep Computing has announced the DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II powered by a 2.0 GHz SpacemIT K1 octa-core 64-bit RISC-V processor coupled with up to 16GB DDR4 and running Ubuntu with official support from Canonical.
Deep Computing unveiled the first RISC-V laptop – named ROMA – in 2022 but it never really took off because of all the web3 and cryptocurrency features plus the ultra-high price. The new DC-ROMA RISC-V Laptop II does without those and features a 14-inch IPS display, a 1TB SSD, a WiFI 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 module, a webcam, several USB ports including a USB-C with DisplayPort Alr mode, and a “development interface” with a few GPIOs.

Framework Laptop 13 is Getting a Drop-In RISC-V Mainboard Option - OMG! Ubuntu
DeepComputing, the company behind the recently-announced Ubuntu RISC-V laptop, is working with Framework Computer Inc, the company behind the popular, modular, and Linux-friendly Framework laptops, on a RISC-V mainboard.
This is a new announcement; the component itself is in early development, and there’s no tentative price tag or pre-order date pencilled in.
But we do know the board will be based around the StarFive JH7110, which uses the RV64GC Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), i.e., it’s a 64-bit processor. It has a quad-core U74 processor running at up to 1.5 GHz, plus an integrated GPU running uptown 600 MHz.
If the name sounds familiar it’s because this is the same SoC used in Pine64’s PineTab-V tablet, and in its Star64 single-board computer.
