Post 3-months – a wonderful machine
1stly – the price. Got it on sale for ₹21k, and as someone who works in the dark all the time, finding a laptop at this price that has a Backlit Keyboard is a dream come true.2ndly – Keyboard and mouse trackpad. Keyboard is backlit and has two brightness levels when on – medium and high. Medium is good enough, high might eat more battery. Just an observation, the backlight will be off everytime you boot up, regardless of what it was set to before. Key press virtually soundless, and feel soft; very similar to dell keyboards. Mouse trackpad is as smooth as Macbooks. Gestures all work nicely, and multi-finger scrolls and swipes are all silky smooth.3rdly – Battery life. Been getting almost 3 to 4 hours on full charge with mostly for work – Excel, 4 to 5 Chrome tabs, and a couple background apps running.4thly – Upgradable RAM. YES! It’s motherboard comes with unremovable 8gb RAM, and an empty DDR4 SO-DIMM Laptop RAM slot. 8+8gb is more than enough to turn this into a mini performance beast with absolutely no lag at all with the included Windows 11 OS. Just make sure to double check the built-in 8gb RAM’s MHz speed and match it accordingly. In my case, I went with G.Skill’s 3200MHz CL-22 8GB SO-DIMM Laptop RAM stick.5thly – Windows 11. Microsoft has finally nailed it with their OS. This is coming from someone who absolutely abhorred Win10 so much, and shifted to MacOS in 2015, and now switching back to Win11. Needed a quick and budget laptop ’cause my 13″ rMacbook Pro’s screen fully cracked, and I must say, I was pleasantly pleased with how buttery smooth everything is, similar to MacOS if not better. Actually, it is better, given all the extra things Windows could always let you do, but now with all that extra smoothness. Took me about 15 minutes, to set everything up, and get it looking as close as possible to classic Windows UI (harken back to them peaceful XP days).6thly – Build quality is great. Feels and looks premium. Very mild wobbling, but the hinges feel stable and sturdy. Underside has one long vent for airflow and two speaker vents. Laptop isn’t rated for any kind of water protection, but I must mention that it ended up getting quite wet, if not soaked in the December 2023 Chennai floods. The laptop was in my messenger bag and the bag fell completely submerged in water. Didn’t switch it on for 2 weeks, removed the battery and kept it in a bucket of dry rice(yes that old “hack”) along with the charger as well, gently wiped off any visible wetness on the momboard, closed up and dried the machine in the sun a few hours everyday, put it all back together after 2 weeks, booted up with much suspense, and it all works as usual despite everyone(online and support) saying otherwise. Altho there were visible water spots under the screen, after almost 2 months now it has dried and reduced 95% on its own.7thly – Performance. Now, don’t go expecting to use this for high end gaming, get a console for that. For minimal, and light gaming it works great. Installed Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 and just completed it again after many years. Worked flawlessly on max graphics settings – was getting 60fps with slight dips in framerate when the screen gets a little busy.Lastly – Service & Support. The Chuwi support was quite responsive through WhatsApp. Upon first boot, it showed Win11 wasn’t activated and panic started kicking in. Before I kicked myself any further, tried reaching out to Chuwi support. They wanted to send a technician over to activate it which would’ve taken a day or two – my impatience meant I couldn’t and wouldn’t wait at all. Took a bit of back and forth messaging on WhatsApp, but they eventually sent over the Product Key to activate Windows, and I easily did it myself pretty quick. In the case of local servicing, they have designated technicians in each city with whom they’ve tied up with to provide service.

Good value for money
For this price, the build quality of the product is very stable. The metal body looks sleek and premium, and it’s lightweight. The keyboard and touchpad are good, and the performance is impressive with good speed. The display quality is good, although I’m not certain about the exact pixel range. The speakers are moderate, so don’t expect too much. The battery charge remains average. However, the charger cable could be better, and the laptop quickly heats up, which seems to be a disadvantage. It comes with preinstalled Windows 11. I’m unsure about the product’s service in the future. Overall, it’s a worthwhile buy in this price range, but I’ll need to check the service options in my local area.

Corebook X Laptop
The laptop is really good and performance is amazing that too in affordable price point. One should definitely go for it 🙂

Budget Friendly Lapto
The Chuwi CoreBook is an impressively powerful laptop for the price. With its Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD, it offers smooth performance for day-to-day tasks like web browsing, office work, and even some lightweight photo and video editing.I was pleased by how lightweight and slim the aluminum alloy body feels. The CoreBook is easy to carry around the house or toss in a bag to take on the go. The narrow bezels surrounding the 14.1-inch 1080p screen give it a modern look and allow for a compact footprint overall.The backlit keyboard feels snappy and responsive when typing. I was able to type quickly and accurately thanks to the well-spaced layout. The large clickable trackpad is also accurate and smooth. Battery life is fairly strong as well. I got close to 8 hours of mixed usage on a single charge consisting of web browsing, streaming video, and document editing. This should get most users through a full work or school day without issue.Considering its combination of performance hardware, premium metal body, backlit keyboard, and competitive battery life, the asking price of around 24000/- INR feels like an incredible value. For budget-minded buyers who still want power and build quality, the Chuwi CoreBook is easy to recommend. It punches well above its class and serves as a capable daily driver laptop for work, school, and general use.

I was very surprised by the value of this laptop in this price range. I bought it to see if it was as good as other reviews said it was. I had in mind to try it and return it if necessary. After a few days of use, I knew I was definitely keeping it. I was amazed at the great screen resolution. The audio is surprisingly very good. Very happy with the battery life and speed of the processor. It’s light and sleek. The only thing that concerned me initially, is having only 1 USB port. So far no problem. I’ll just get an adapter if needed. I Never heard of this brand, but this is truly a great buy on a laptop.

Most of the time that I am about to buy something from a brand that I don’t know, I get very suspicious. This computer has been one of the best purchases I have ever done here on amazon. The computer is fast, and the screen is very bright. It is also very light and perfect for me to take to school. I would say that this computer maybe can run some games, but not the high-end ones because you will need a better GPU. I don’t think you will find a better deal than this computer.

Pros:Sleek design.Good performance for multitasking and light gaming, but will probably need another 8gb ram stick to maximize efficiency.Tactile keyboard with back lighting.Good WiFi range and connectivity2k HD Screen.USB-C Charging.512GB Storage.Cons:Battery life is questionable unless you’re strictly web browsing or typing in word expect under 2 hours of use.Exhaust and speakers at the bottom of the chassis can be problematic if not placed on a flat surface.Power button placement is not ideal and can be pressed on accident while typing or handling the laptop.Track Pad could be better.Fingerprint Magnet.
