XIDU has already released 2 new laptops recently, Philbook Max and Tour Pro, and both received a warm welcome by users, especially when they come with discount coupons. But a company’s R&D department never stops to develop so a new laptop is going to be released soon named PhilBook Y13. Let’s take a look at it before its official launch!

The Y13 is another easy to carry and lightweight model as it measures 307.4mm*210.7mm and has a 13.3″ display. The case retains the same design as in TOur Pro with Dark Grey metal but with some details different. The metal spindle is more like that of Philbook Pro while there are newly added heat dissipation holes being that enable the device to increase its heat-dissipation capacity.

Following the tradition of other models, the PhilBook Y13 is a 2in1 laptop as there is a metal hinge that allows the lid to rotate 360°. That, combined with the multi-touch display, turns it into a tablet in seconds. Other than that, there are other modes like tent mode to use when watching a movie for example.

XIDU has been paying great importance to screen quality in all of its products and PhilBook Y13 is no exception. It sports an IPS panel with FHD resolution and the bezels are ultra-narrow at 4.9mm, with the total screen/body ratio reaching 75%. Definitely, considerable progress for XIDU that used to have laptops with big borders.

As far as performance is concerned, the PhilBook Y13 comes with the 8th Gen Intel Kaby Lake R CPU combined with Intel’s 610 GPU accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM. It is intended for light office work and to that direction, it features all the basic ports like 1xUSB 3.0 Type-A port, a Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and one TF card slot that supports SDHC/SDXC memory cards.
