It brings me great pleasure for the entertainment after a day of work. Enjoy the favorite games, the speed very fast, and the whole process is fluid. It’s more powerful than other brands I’ve used before. Chuwi CoreBook provides a sharper contrast and natural and delicate colors. In addition, the fully laminated screen greatly reduces glare, perfect for use at home, office or suburbs. The CoreBook looks more like an iPad Pro than a Surface Pro, with its soft, rounded edges and a 2.5D curved glass. The black bezels make it seem like there are none, but there’s still a good amount around the 13.3-inch panel, now fully laminated, fortunately. Unfortunately, the resolution has been reduced to 1920×1080 now, versus the SurBook’s staggering 2736×1824. The body, while still full aluminum alloy, is now thinner.

Instead, Chuwi “borrows” an idea from the Huawei MateBook E. The cover itself provides the stand, with a hinge that can go as far as 165 degrees.

I bought the stickers to solve it. Nothing influences me. The adjustable keyboard also includes a cover, on the back you can adjust the bracket up to 165 degrees. Similar to the previous Surbook model. The keys are evenly spaced with intermediate gaps, and they are extremely striking and receptive, so they do not feel anything superficial.
