- 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 audio jack
Other notable features include Wi-Fi 6, a 2.5 GbE LAN port for ultra-fast wired internet, and USB-C fast charging with a 65W adapter fueling a 50Wh battery. These features make it stand out in the entry-level laptop category.
Extra Touches for Usability
The Rimbook L1 includes a built-in webcam with a physical privacy shutter—ideal for security-conscious users. It also sports a full keyboard layout with a numeric keypad, which is a valuable feature for those who work with spreadsheets or data entry tasks.
Verdict
