Chuwi MiniBook is a full-fledged workstation in compact format

For the modern person, mobility is important in everything, because it is not often in one place. Therefore, bulky computers remain in the past, giving way to portable laptops and ultra-books that have modest dimensions, stylish looks and high performance. The weight of such devices is also very small, which allows them to take with them on trips, business meetings or university for employment. Today, we suggest heading to Shenzhen (China), where a well-known Ukrainian user, Chuwi, was introduced to a compact, 360 ° rotatable Yoga-tab with an 8-inch touchscreen display and 128GB of expandable memory, a full-size, comfortable 2-megapixel backlit keyboard and camcorder.

Features of the novelty

Whatever your technique, eventually it is hopelessly out of date. Modern programs for some professions (artists, photographers, engineers) have rather high system requirements, which not every model of a personal computer can handle. In addition, gaming now requires powerful computers or laptops that can reproduce the entire spectrum of graphics without "sagging." The newest laptops can handle such tasks easily, and we will always tell you about the most notable ones.

Previously, we wrote about a compact AeroBook laptop from Chinese company Chuwi, which received a diagonal of 13.3 inches, has a thin bezel around the screen, equipped with a powerful dual-core quad-core Intel Core m3 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory with the possibility of it further expansion, multiple peripheral connectors, a comfortable touchpad and a full-size keyboard with backlight in the dark (you can read more about it on the link below).

Today's novelty also came out of the pen of this manufacturer. What is remarkable is that Chinese companies are trying to implement advanced technologies much faster than their European competitors do. Annually, over one million Chuwi laptops are sold worldwide, which speaks to the brand's popularity far beyond native China. The novelty has a diagonal 8-inch IPS display with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a resolution of 1920 * 1200 dpi. This gives it a fast response and high definition. This display helps reduce eye fatigue after hours of work, reading, or games. Widescreen allows you to better display graphs, tables, text information, image files and the playing field.

The laptop screen is attached to the keyboard with a special hinge that allows you to rotate it 360 °. This makes it possible to use it as a laptop, touchpad or full workstation. Every corner is now under your full control. You will be able to work in confined spaces, by plane, train, coffee shop, airport or train station. Wherever you need to use your laptop to check your mail, refine your article, create charts, or make any edits, you can be sure - your device will not let you down.

The gadget's power button is a hybrid one that also combines a fingerprint scanner, activating an unmanageable one that anyone other than yourself will be able to use on your laptop. The manufacturer offers several variants of devices for the market. The first - with a dual-core quad-core Intel Core m3 8100Y processor, made on the basis of 14nm process, which has an average clock frequency of 1.1 GHz, and the maximum - 3.4 GHz. The second model will ship with a quad-core Intel Celeron N4100 processor with an average clock speed of 1.1 GHz and a maximum of 2.4 GHz.

The gadgets will also be different GPUs. The first model features an integrated Intel HD Graphics 615 graphics card with a base frequency of 300 MHz and a maximum of 900 MHz. The second will receive an Intel HD Graphics 600 processor with a base frequency of 200 MHz, and a maximum of 700 MHz. The device has received a new generation of active cooling system with an optimized silent fan, allowing you to achieve high performance without overheating the system.

The MiniBook uses 8-GB LPDDR3 dual-channel memory cards. This delivers high performance notebooks, faster response times, less latency and the ability to handle easily multitasking. Both models have 128GB SSDs. Moreover, the manufacturer provides for a special expansion slot for installing SSD M.2 memory cards. If you do not feel like it, you can increase it further by using TF memory cards.

The novelty has a full-size QWERTY keyboard, which makes it easy to cope with the daily tasks of typing quickly. To communicate with friends and family on social networks, the laptop provides a 2MP webcam that is easy to use by expanding the screen and turning the gadget into a tablet. The size of the device was 201 * 128 * 19 mm (length * width * thickness), and the weight - only 635 g. The MiniBook is also equipped with enough connectors to connect peripheral devices - USB Type C, USB Type A 2.0, USB Type A 3.0, micro HDMI, and 3.5mm mini-jack for headphones. There is also a built-in microphone.

The laptop is equipped with a built-in 3500mAh * 26.6W polymer-ion battery with 7.6V input. If you are unable to charge the device from the mains, it is not a problem; you can easily do it from a regular external battery. The Intel 3165 dual band Wi-Fi 2.4G / 5G module provides wireless communication. Bluetooth 4.0 is also here. The pre-installed operating system was Windows 10. The material of the case was made of durable aluminum alloy.
