Chinese startup SpacemiT has unveiled the MuseBook, an innovative octa-core K1 RISC-V processor-based laptop aimed at AI developers, available at an attractive price of around US$300.
MuseBook RISC-V
Revolutionary laptop with ARM-compatible processor
Innovative MuseBook from China technology startup SpacemiT is a portable computer built on an eight-core K1 RISC-V processor aimed at developing artificial intelligence. Reminiscent of Apple's MacBook in design, this laptop features a 14.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. The keyboard is similar to standard Windows keyboards, but with a dedicated RISC-V button whose functionality is not yet known.
Compact and lightweight yet powerful
MuseBook is compact in size and lightweight - just 1.3 kg with a thickness of about 18 mm. It has a MicroSD card slot, two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The laptop is equipped with up to 128 GB of built-in eMMC flash memory and a WiFi 6 module based on RTL8852BE for wireless connectivity.
Extensive opportunities for developers
MuseBook runs on the Bianbu operating system, based on Debian and optimized for the K1 RISC-V processor. However, users can install any other version of Linux or RTOS of their choice. Using the open RISC-V architecture, this laptop provides developers with ample opportunity to experiment and create innovative solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.

A very interesting laptop! The hardware for this price is impressive - an eight-core RISC-V processor, a GPU with support for modern APIs, and even an AI accelerator. 🤖 Apparently, SpacemiT are targeting the market for AI solutions developers.
Анна
Yes, Ivan is definitely impressive. I wonder how this Debian based Bianbu OS for RISC-V will work. In theory, it should be productive for software development and modeling tasks. 💻
Фредерик
Hmm, isn't RISC-V an open architecture? Then it turns out that MuseBook is the first mass-produced commercial laptop on such a platform. A pioneer of its kind! 🚀
Елизавета
Frederick, exactly! RISC-V is open source and open instruction. And SpacemiT claim that their K1 processor is faster than the Cortex-A55 in multi-threaded mode. Intriguing! 🧐
Франц
Perhaps such open laptops will be able to compete with monopolists like Intel and AMD? It would be great to have more options on the market! 💯
Джузеппе
Ha, well, you were enough! 😂 The old guys Intel and AMD are still out of competition. But for enthusiasts and AI developers, the MuseBook could be a great low-budget workstation.

You are all choked with delight here, but I’m thinking - why fence the garden? A regular laptop is enough for me to do my work. Rich people are drawn to curiosities. 😏
Анна
Victor, I wouldn’t say that this is a curiosity. RISC-V processors could be a real breakthrough, opening the way for new manufacturers and more affordable hardware. This certainly has a future. 🔋⌨️
