Yes, it ticks the “can power 4K at 60Hz” box but that’s the same as saying you can use a bucket to fill an Olympic pool. Sadly, the graphics subsystem on the E3950 is woefully inadequate for the task. It requires pure graphical grunt to power more than eight million pixels, that the amount of picture elements on the LapBook Plus’ display and that’s four times what you’d find on a full HD display. Here’s how the Chuwi Lapbook performed in our suite of benchmark tests: The rest of the spec sheet includes a 36.5Whr battery, Intel Wireless-AC 3160 Wi-Fi and a 2-megapixel webcam and a pair of speakers. Worth noting that this is an embedded part which means that it has been designed to be used as a fanless, passively cooled processor and its TDP (12W) points to that. This is a three-year old CPU, part of the Apollo Lake family, with four cores, four threads and a base frequency of 1.6GHz. The CPU that Chuwi ended up pairing with the 4K display is an Intel Atom X7-E3950 which is equipped with an Intel HD Graphics 505 GPU that can handle 4K and has 18 EU cores. This is where the biggest chunk of the bill of materials (BOM) probably ended up and rather than just spend most of the money on the processor and team it with 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC, Chuwi did the opposite and bundled 8GB of LPDDR4 memory with a 256GB M2.SSD there’s a free M2 slot should you want to add another storage device. The Chuwi LapBook that was sent to us contained the following specs:ĬPU: Intel Atom X7-E3950 4C/4T, 1.6GHz, 2MB L2 cacheĬonnectivity: Intel Wireless-AC 3160 Wi-FiĬhuwi’s jewel in the crown is its 4K IPS display, boasting a 100 percent sRGB color gamut and 300-nit brightness.
