​Chuwi is one of the Chinese companies that are trying to offer the best possible value for the money, and we’ve already found out on our own that these efforts are paying off at some level.

And now Chuwi is going one step further with a new laptop that’s supposed to offer premium quality at a price that’s more appropriate for mid-range devices.

The new Chuwi LapBook 14.1 notebook goes on sale today with a price of $299 and the company promises it offers uncompromised experience on Windows 10. Looking at the specs, however, it’s pretty clear that this is no workhorse, but the kind of laptop that you can use for daily activities, such as browsing the web, emailing, and maybe watching a movie.

The device comes with a 14.1-inch full HD IPS display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and is powered by a 7th generation Intel Apollo Lake N3450 CPU. It also features Intel Gen9 integrated HD graphics, so while it won’t let you play the latest games, it should be good enough for titles that have moderate system requirements.

In addition to this, Chuwi is also offering 4GB DDR3 RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage, so additional storage might almost certainly be needed. On the other hand, the device features two USB ports, so you shouldn’t have any problems in attaching an external hard drive.

The laptop has an 8mm screen bezel and tips the scales at 1316 grams, which makes it one of the lightest notebooks in the 14.1-inch category currently on the market. It features a 9,000 mAh li-polymer battery, but its performance figures are still unknown. It goes without saying that it runs the full version of Windows 10.

At first glance, the Chuwi LapBook 14.1 notebook is quite a compelling choice for those who want an affordable device with better specs, but it takes more than a spec sheet to convince a potential buyer. We’ll soon review the device and let you know if it’s worth the money or not.
