JOI Book SK3000 laptop with SD850 mobile CPU launched, priced at RM2,199

Users looking for an affordable Windows laptop have another option in peruse as local outfit SNS Network is offering the rather unusual JOI Book SK3000 is available starting today in Malaysia.

While the vast majority of notebooks in the market are powered by either an Intel or AMD processor in some form of fashion, the JOI Book SK3000 is unusual in the sense that it’s a full fledged Windows laptop that is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 mobile processor.

While unorthodox, the JOI Book SK3000 still runs WIndows 10 Pro and has the chops to tackle most tasks that ultrabooks can handle while having a few unique advantages of its own.

For starters, the JOI Book SK3000 has a built-in LTE modem so you can bung in a nano SIM card and get connected rather than relying on WIFi or a smartphone hotspot. This also ensures that you’re always connected, allowing you to get work done on the go.

In terms of hardware, the JOI Book SK3000 has sufficient punch for most day to day tasks with 4GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage while a 12.5-inch Full HD display offers sufficient screen real estate to comfortably browse the web or watch a video.

The JOI Book SK3000 is also rated for 10 hours of battery life on its 4,500mAh battery with a constant LTE connection and also has USB Type-C ports for easy charging in the field. A full charge with the provided charger needs just 2 hours.

Portability is also exceptional as the JOI Book SK3000 weighs just 1.05kg while the aluminium-hewn chassis is less than 15mm thin, allowing you to comfortably tote it around all day long.
