Rimbook L1 Is COLORFUL’s Latest Entry in the Budget Laptop Space—Here’s What It Packs

COLORFUL has introduced a new entry in its laptop lineup—the Rimbook L1—and it’s aimed squarely at users who want a mix of portability, decent specs, and everyday usability without spending a fortune. The device is already available in the Philippines for $399 (roughly ₹34,660), and the company says it’ll be heading to more markets soon.

The name “Rimbook,” according to COLORFUL, symbolizes momentum—like the steady movement of a wheel. That’s a bit abstract, but what we’re looking at here is a 15.6-inch laptop powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, with solid connectivity and a no-frills build.

Specs That Focus on the Basics

The Rimbook L1 features a 15.6-inch Full HD display with 300 nits of brightness. It has a fairly slim profile at 17.9mm thick and weighs 1.7kg, which keeps it in the lightweight category for this screen size.

Here’s a quick look at the key hardware:

• Processor: Intel Core i5-12450H
• Graphics: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
• RAM: 16GB DDR4
• Storage: 512GB SSD, with expansion support
• Battery: 50Wh with 65W fast charging over USB-C

For everyday computing—whether it's browsing, productivity, or light multitasking—this config should be more than enough.

Decent I/O and Modern Networking

On the connectivity front, the Rimbook L1 offers a fairly balanced set of ports:

• Left side: DC charging, HDMI 1.4, USB-A 3.2, USB-C (full function)
• Right side: 2× USB-A 2.0, USB-C 2.0 (data only), 3.5mm headphone jack

There’s also Wi-Fi 6 support for faster wireless performance and a 2.5 GbE LAN port for high-speed wired internet—something you don’t always see in budget laptops.

You also get a built-in webcam with a privacy shutter, and a full keyboard with a numeric keypad, which is still important to a lot of users working with spreadsheets or numbers.
