This Chuwi GemiBook XPro 14 is powered by the Intel N100 chip, and is EXTREMELY good bang for buck, at a budget price. It can currently be only found on AliExpress, but we have no doubts that it'll be on Amazon very soon. Purchase links are below.
Windows 11 Home is installed, and in this review, we run benchmarks with the Intel N100, test some Windows games, like Fortnite and Rocket League, then to keep things spicy, try some PSP and Gamecube emulation.

I've always preferred a more matt screen as having screen glare is horrendous. I also like the 16:9 aspect ratio. The lack of external ports is a downside but all in all it looks pretty good and for the first time in a long time we now have a budget end Intel processor that does what you would want it to.

@jianaguelo7684 11 дней назад

Hello Guys, sorry for the late reply. I must say that the gemibook handles my task decently, I mostly just do basic coding and play old games like cs 1.6, and warcraft. It is not advisible to game with famous titles right now like valorant as it will frame drop in gunfight the laptop is not as powerful as today's standard specs like i3 gen12 but it will do just fine with social media, doing documents and etc. Just put your expectation lower than expected as it is the cheapest laptop out there with this specs. No upgradability whatsoever but hey it is reliable for me as a student.

@Trick5GG 5 месяцев назад

why do you consider 16:9 ratio as a con?? All my past laptops (and my current tablet) has either a 16:9 or 16::10 screen. No problems whatsoever... I don't understand how is it supposed to be smaller just bcoz its 16:9. Did I miss a memo or something?

@TeamPandory 5 месяцев назад

If it had a larger screen, say a 15.6 or 17, then 16:9 would be okay. With a smaller 13 or 14 inch display, having 16:9 makes the screen feel far smaller, and you have less useable space to work in than if it were 3:2.

Why use fans for a low TDP CPU? This laptop had the perfect opportunity to compete against m1 macbooks battery life because of its low power consumption, but it only has a 38 wh battery (pretty small for a 14 inch) that lasts around 5 hours of use. Not bad, actually pretty good, but could've been better.

It's good but no RJ45 and only bluetooth 4.2 although on Amazon it says it's 5.2. The battery life is quite poor as well at only 3 hours. The lack of IO ports is also not helpful.

@TeamPandory 5 месяцев назад

Just checked, this laptop has Bluetooth 5.2 (maybe a typo on my part). Wouldn't say the battery life is exactly "poor", but the lack of IO is definitely notable. Chuwi has another N100 laptop on the market with a 15.4" screen that has more ports, but apparently the battery is the same as this one.

Hey is it good for graphics designing ? Also whats the difference between gemibook pro and gemibook X pro???? Can u reply please?

@TeamPandory 5 месяцев назад

Graphics design, it really depends on what packages you use. If it's for 2D design, you should generally be safe though. Gemibook Pro is an older processor, and on Windows 10- avoid that. Go for the Gemibook XPro, Gemibook Plus (same, with a larger display and more I/O), or if you want more power and a nice 3:2 aspect ratio, try the CoreBook X. Seriously, if I was to grab a laptop now, that'd be the one. 3:2 makes a HUGE difference when it comes to laptops. Makes your screen feel much larger than it really is.

@TeamPandory 3 месяца назад

For coding it should be perfect. I've personally been using this one every day for the past year, but to think that ANY laptop will last multiple years (4 or more) is wishful thinking as the battery usually snuffs it and then you'll be tethered to the power outlet. "how many years can I use this" - depends on what you do with it. Sorry, that's a question that's impossible to give an answer to.

The n100 chip in this laptop has similar CPU performance to an earlier i5-4570 or there abouts. Mostly coding requires ... Notepad ?
