Ripple has expanded its product portfolio as Ripple Raze and Ripple Raze Pro are available in the Nepalese market at an affordable price. Ripple laptops are making quite an impression in Nepal's market, which is dominated by Chinese tech companies. If you are not familiar with the Nepali brand Ripple, it is a newly founded company by Rahul Kayastha, the CEO of Ripple. Ripple has been awarded the title of the first ever Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) brand in Nepal.

Overview

In addition to the Ripple Raze series, the brand produces and sells the Artifact series (Ripple Artifact and Ripple Artifact Pro), the Genos series (Ripple Genos and Ripple Genos Pro), and Ripple Pandora. The Nepali brand allows customers to customize the laptop according to their choice. This means customers can upgrade, downgrade or choose the laptop's processor configuration options.

Design and display

The design of the Ripple Raze series of laptops shares many similarities. Both laptops seem to be sturdy with a total weight of 2.2 kg. The frame of the notebook is quite thin, which gives it a premium feel, and the 1.0MP HD web camera is located on the top frame. Likewise, the laptop comes with an RGB backlit keyboard and a dedicated numeric keypad.
