Chuwi Lapbook 14.1

Overview

Finally, a budget laptop that doesn’t frustrate at every opportunity. No prizes for performance, but a nice keyboard makes this a perfectly functional laptop for work, web browsing and media streaming.

It's very important to remember that you aren't going to get a £1000 'ultrabook' for $299. It just doesn't work like that. Secondly, remember that the term ‘ultrabook' applies to very specific criteria. It is, after all, a trademark. This is, let's say...

The 14.1 version of Chuwi's first laptop looks identical to the 15.6 version. The biggest change concerns the chipset. Unlike the 15.6 version this model comes with an Apollo Lake CPU, which...

With a £500 budget you can get a perfectly decent Windows laptop if your needs aren't great, but what if you want to go even cheaper still? China is well known for its mid-range tech at budget prices, and it's no different when it comes to laptops. You...

Compromise is always a word that can evoke the wrong impressions, but it's a fact of life that every laptop is full of compromise. The art is finding the right balance of compromise to fit into the target budget, while still providing the features that...
