Chinese PC maker Chuwi is known for producing budget-friendly laptops, one of which is the GemiBook series. The company has now introduced the GemiBook xPro, a new GemiBook series laptop boasting current-generation hardware.
The GemiBook xPro is powered by an Intel Processor N100 which is an entry-level Quad-core processor from the new Alder Lake-N series. Unlike some of the older processors that Chuwi tends to use in its laptops, the Processor N100 is a current-generation processor that can provide better performance. Sadly, the Processor N100 does not support Intel Hyper-Threading and this could limit its multitasking capabilities.
The Intel Processor N100 has a clock speed ranging from 1.0 to 3.4 GHz on a 6 W TDP and uses a 10 nm manufacturing process. It also has a UHD Graphics Xe iGPU with 24 Execution Units (EUs) that can boost to 750 MHz. The Processor N100 contains 4 of a possible 8 E-cores, which could affect its performance in demanding applications.
In terms of design, the new Chuwi GemiBook xPro packs a 14.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The laptop’s display also utilizes a 16:9 aspect ratio. The display should provide clear and vibrant visuals, making it suitable for a range of applications. The GemiBook xPro weighs around 1.4 kg, making it a portable laptop that can be easily carried around. It also has a 180-degree hinge, which makes it possible to use in tablet mode.
The laptop has a six-row chiclet keyboard with full-sized arrow keys, which should make typing comfortable and easy. Chuwi has also equipped the GemiBook xPro with a relatively large trackpad, although its accuracy remains to be seen at this stage. The laptop also features Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6 connectivity.
Chuwi has not revealed many details about the GemiBook xPro’s battery capacity and port selection. However, it is expected to come with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD and should retail for around US$300.
