The ROMA laptop is poised as the world's first development-focused laptop computer. XCalibyte confirmed that the ROMA will be a RISC-V-based computer, meaning it will be optimized for Linux operating systems, rather than Windows OS. One notable aspect of the ROMA is its inclusion of an NPU and a GPU, which will accelerate the development of AI-powered workloads and AI-related development projects.
XCalibyte also outlined the laptop's utility to the web3 and metaverse spaces, as its components make it an excellent laptop for the development of NFTs, VR experiences, and more. The RISC-V-powered ROMA laptop is currently available for preorder via XCalibyte's online store. The laptop does not yet have a confirmed release date or price. Additionally, many of the components have yet to be confirmed. However, the company did state that the first 100 confirmed preorders for the laptop will ship with an exclusive NFT.
