Chinese gadget maker Chuwi has carved by itself a pretty good market making low-priced-and-cheerful tablets and laptops. I've recently reviewed the two the HeroBook and LapBook SE notebooks on these pages and found them to provide exceptional worth for income: Capable, entirely fledged 14 and thirteen.3-inch Home windows equipment for under the chuwi table discount price of an entry degree eleven.6-inch Chromebook.

With its new AeroBook, Chuwi is generating the dreaded 'shift upmarket' by supplying an increased specification equipment than previously ahead of, but at a higher selling price -- $499 from Amazon's US shop or £365 from Chuwi's AliExpress outlet.

On paper, Chuwi nevertheless provides your hard earned money's worthy of: the AeroBook provides 256GB of SSD storage, 8GB of RAM, a Core M processor and an FHD (1920 x 1080) 13.three-inch IPS Show, all wrapped up in an incredibly handsome dim grey alloy shell.

The only real evident fly in the ointment is the age of your processor, that's Intel's twin-Main Main m3-6Y30. It is really much from gutless: Despite the fact that it ticks about at just 900MHz, it could manage 2.2GHz with its Turbo Raise functioning sneakers on. However it's continue to a sixth-generation Skylake chip introduced in the second fifty percent of 2015.
