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.
