CHUWI has officially introduced the new CoreBook Air, a next-generation Copilot+ PC designed to deliver powerful AI capabilities, long battery life, and premium portability. According to CHUWI CEO Jesea Yang, the CoreBook Air combines Lunar Lake performance and Copilot+ AI capabilities in an ultra-light 1.2kg design, helping bring advanced AI PCs to a wider audience at a more accessible price point. The company aims to make advanced AI-powered computing more accessible to students, professionals, creators, and remote workers.

Premium Design Built for Portability

The CHUWI CoreBook Air features a slim and lightweight design that weighs just 1.2kg, making it easy to carry throughout the day. The laptop uses a premium CNC-crafted aluminum chassis that provides a durable and professional appearance while maintaining portability. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for students attending classes, content creators working on the move, business professionals, and remote workers who need a dependable travel companion.

Sharp 2.8K Display with Smooth Visuals

The laptop comes equipped with a 14-inch IPS display featuring a 2.8K resolution of 2880 × 1800 pixels. It also supports a 90Hz refresh rate and covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut. This combination delivers sharper text, detailed visuals, smoother scrolling, and an improved video viewing experience. The high-resolution panel is also designed to provide comfortable viewing during long work sessions.

Intel Lunar Lake Performance with Advanced AI

At the heart of the CoreBook Air is the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor based on Intel’s Lunar Lake (Series 2) architecture. The chip features 8 CPU cores and 8 threads, with boost frequencies reaching up to 4.5GHz. Users can expect strong computing performance, improved power efficiency, broad software compatibility, enhanced security, and advanced AI processing capabilities.

Graphics duties are handled by the integrated Intel Arc 130V GPU, which CHUWI claims can deliver up to twice the graphics performance of older Intel Iris Xe solutions. The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, casual gaming, content creation tasks, multimedia streaming, and GPU-accelerated applications.

Copilot+ Features and AI Acceleration

One of the biggest highlights of the CoreBook Air is its AI performance. The system delivers up to 97 TOPS of total AI computing power and includes an Intel AI Boost NPU capable of up to 40 NPU TOPS. This dedicated AI hardware enables faster on-device AI processing, reduced dependence on cloud services, improved privacy, and quicker AI responses.

Running Windows 11 Pro out of the box, the laptop supports Microsoft Copilot+ PC experiences such as Click to Do, Cocreator, and Live Captions. A dedicated AI key also provides instant access to Microsoft Copilot.

Memory, Storage, Battery, and Connectivity

The CoreBook Air includes 16GB LPDDR5X memory running at 8533 MT/s using a memory-on-package design for faster multitasking, lower latency, and better efficiency. Storage is handled by a 512GB PCIe SSD, while users can upgrade storage later through PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD support.

A 55Wh battery powers the laptop and is rated for up to 15 hours of local video playback. Charging is handled by a 65W USB-C Power Delivery adapter, capable of charging the battery to around 63% in approximately one hour.

For connectivity, the laptop supports Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless speeds, lower latency, and improved stability. Port selection includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports with up to 40Gbps bandwidth, Power Delivery support, external display connectivity, and eGPU compatibility. Users also get three USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 output, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Pricing and Availability

The CHUWI CoreBook Air is available for pre-order now. The laptop carries an official retail price of $799, but early buyers can take advantage of a limited-time Super Early-Bird discount of $50, reducing the launch price to $749. The promotional offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis while launch stock lasts.
