Chuwi, a Chinese computer manufacturer that specializes in producing affordable laptops, has recently updated its CoreBook X series with Intel’s Core i3-1215U processor. This latest version of the CoreBook X boasts a significant performance boost compared to its predecessor, thanks to the i3-1215U’s capacity to deliver double the processing power while remaining within the same 15W TDP limit as the previous i3-10110U model.

The Core i3-1215U processor has two P cores, four E cores, and eight threads. It can ramp up its P cores to 4.4 GHz as needed and comes equipped with a UHD Graphics iGPU that has 64 Execution Units. Being based on 10nm rather than 14nm also plays to its advantage when it comes to efficiency. Additionally, it the processor is also compatible with LPDDR5 RAM.

Despite the updated processor, many of the features on the new Chuwi Corebook X remain unchanged from its previous iteration. This includes the 14-inch, 2160 x 1440 pixel IPS LCD display, which maintains a 3:2 aspect ratio. The laptop also retains the same aluminum body, weighing approximately 3 pounds and measuring 0.8 inches at its thickest point, but a slim 0.4 inches at its thinnest.

In terms of connectivity, the Corebook X offers a microSD card reader, USB 3.0 Type-C and Type-A ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a DC charging port. The laptop supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5, features a 1MP webcam, and comes equipped with a backlit keyboard.

Currently, Chuwi’s most recent CoreBook X model is priced at US$469.99, which includes 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. If preferred, the laptop is also available with a storage capacity of 512 GB and a larger RAM capacity of 16 GB, at a slightly higher price point of US$499.99. Moreover, Chuwi is currently offering a promotional discount of US$30 for orders over US$300, which reduces the cost of the 8 GB and 16 GB RAM variants to US$439.99 and US$469.99, respectively. Additional details can be found on Chuwi’s AliExpress store.

So let’s have a look at what the new CoreBook X has up its sleeve for us.

Chuwi CoreBook X Specifications

This new little monster from Chuwi has everything you need. Here are the official specs of the new CoreBook X.

Bigger & Better Display

The new CoreBook comes with a 14-inch micro-edge full screen. With the added benefits of FHD resolution, 100% RGB gamut, and a not-so-familiar 3:2 aspect ratio, the display gives an immersive experience. The 3:2 aspect ratio provides you with roughly 18% higher real estate than a traditional 16:9 ratio.

Under the Hood

The CoreBook X is powered by the 8th gen Intel i5-8259U processor. Compared with the modern 10th gen i3-1005G1, the processor seems to be running miles ahead. The onboard Iris plus 655 integrated GPU could hold up very well with some modern games, even if it is not meant for that. Paired with the included 8 gigs DDR4 RAM and the faster 512 gigs of SSD storage. We can assume that loading times won’t be a thing with the new CoreBook X. You could also add an additional 1TB of HDD storage with the dedicated slot.

What’s make it great for you?!

The CoreBook X, like its predecessors, is a thin and light laptop with an overall metallic design. At a thickness of 20.6mm, the CoreBook weighs just under 3.3 pounds. A full charge would give around 8 hours of casual use. Which makes it the ideal choice for office works.

The CoreBook X will be launched in early May and is expected to fall under an impressive price tag of $599. You could check out the official listing provided by Chuwi from this link.
