It appears that following Xiaomi’s much appreciated Mi Air, more Chinese firms are making laptops. Such is the case with Chuwi, that debuted the LapBook, a modelavailable for pre-sale at $241. It ships after November 5th and it started racking up preorders on Gearbest.com.
This is actually a 2 in 1 device, one that combines a tablet with a laptop. Chuwi LapBook is a 15.6 incher with the case size being actually the one of a conventional 14.1 inch laptop. The bezel and keyboard have been compressed and the weight of the product is a mere 1.8 KG. Here’s the specs list of the newcomer:
- Display: 15.6 inch, Full HD
- CPU: Intel X5 Series, quad core, 64 bit/ Intel Cherry Trail Z8300
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics Gen 8
- RAM: 4 GB DDR3L
- Stocare: 64 GB
- Battery: 10000 mAh
- Cameras: 2 MP front camera
- Connectivity: USB 3.0 port, USB 2.0 port, HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi
The device also does Skype, comes with Windows 10 in Chinese and English and it’s 2.2 cm thick. Its trackpad is pretty generous and the key spacing and format feels like the most popular ASUS and Apple laptops, which is a treat. You can preorder the device here.
