Chuwi CoreBook X Pro laptop review: 120 Hz display for cheap

Looks good, but cheap parts. The CoreBook X Pro is the least expensive 15.6-inch laptop you can find with a 120 Hz panel. The catch, however, is you'll have to deal with substantial cut corners to major aspects of the system.

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 09/16/2021 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 ...

After having just reviewed the 14-inch CoreBook X a few months ago, Chuwi is now ready to launch the CoreBook X Pro which uses the same Intel 8th gen Core i5-8259U processor but in a larger 15.6-inch form factor. This larger version is a completely different beast in terms of features, display, and visual design when compared to the 14-inch model.

Competitors to the CoreBook X Pro include other budget 15.6-inch multimedia laptops like the HP Pavilion 15, Lenovo IdeaPad 3 series, Dell Inspiron series, or the Acer Aspire 3 series. Chuwi is now selling the model via its official online store for $559 USD.

Case — Looks Good, Feels Bad

Chuwi laptops have always looked attractive especially for the price and the CoreBook X Pro continues the trend. The manufacturer has even introduced a new chassis design that's more visually unique when compared to the Apple lookalikes of older Chuwi models. Unfortunately, chassis rigidity hasn't really improved as the system creaks and bends more than we would like when twisting its corners. It certainly doesn't feel as strong as it looks.

Overall size is slightly larger and heavier than most other 15.6-inch laptops due to the thick bottom bezel of the CoreBook X Pro. The system weighs about the same as the XPS 15 9500 even though the Chuwi is larger in volume.

Red trims along the front and side edges add visual flare to an otherwise gray chassis

Outer lid and keyboard deck are smooth aluminum alloy

The hinges become noticeably weaker when opened to wider angles

More ventilation grilles on this laptop than on most other Ultrabooks with 15 W to 28 W CPUs

Connectivity — No Power Delivery or DisplayPort

Port options are decent for a 15.6-inch multimedia laptop with plenty of USB ports and even gigabit Ethernet. Unfortunately, the USB-C port does not support DisplayPort or Power Delivery meaning users must use HDMI for any external monitors and the proprietary barrel charger for charging.

Right: USB-A 2.0, SD card reader, Gigabit RJ-45, Kensington lock

Webcam

Camera quality is poor even by the already low standards of laptop webcams. Color temperature is far too warm, colors are very off, and the overall picture is muddy despite our bright ambient lighting.

Maintenance

The bottom panel can be easily removed with just a Philips screwdriver and sharp edge. Users have direct access to 2x M.2 bays and a SODIMM slot for expansion.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box other than the paperwork and AC adapter. A one year limited manufacturer warranty applies, but claiming warranty may be difficult for buyers overseas due to shipment.

Input Devices — Wonky Keys and Clickpad

Keyboard

Though Ultrabook keyboards are usually quite shallow, the keys on the CoreBook X Pro are both shallow and soft for an unsatisfying typing experience. The Enter and Space keys in particular are too spongy while the Windows key on our test unit would sometimes not even register a press.

Touchpad

The clickpad is larger than the clickpad on the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (12.5 x 7.8 cm vs. 11.5 x 7.6 cm). Regular cursor control is reliable and especially smooth due to the 120 Hz refresh rate of the display. Multi-touch drag and drop actions aren't as reliable, however, as the cursor may sometimes jump. The clickpad surface is also a bit too sticky when gliding at slower speeds which impacts precision clicks.

All keys and symbols are illuminated when the backlight is active

Integrated clickpad keys are shallow and with a satisfyingly loud clatter

Key feedback is weak and with shallow travel

Numpad and arrow keys are narrower and more cramped than the main QWERTY keys

Display — 120 Hz Doesn't Come Free

The CoreBook X Pro uses the same Chi Mei N156HRA-EA1 IPS panel as found on the Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506HM or Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55 gaming laptops. This particular panel offers a native refresh rate of 120 Hz alongside decently fast response times for smoother gameplay. Colors and brightness are limited, however, as this is technically a budget laptop. Higher-end panels like those found on the Razer Blade 15 are able to offer faster response times, faster refresh rates, and deeper colors for both gaming and digital editing.

* ... smaller is better

Color space is narrow at just 63 percent of sRGB to be indicative of panel unfit for digital editors. This is one of the few displays with both a high 120 Hz refresh rate and a limited gamut as high refresh rates would usually come with high (>90 percent) sRGB coverage.

X-Rite colorimeter measurements show color temperature to be slightly too cool at 7045K versus the sRGB target of 6500K. Once we calibrated the display, grayscale and colors would improve noticeably. Colors still become more inaccurate at high saturation levels due to the limited color space of the panel.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
23.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12.4 ms rise
23.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 10.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 45 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
31.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 17.2 ms rise
31.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 34 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (34.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is average at best only when under shade as anything brighter will wash out colors and text. This isn't to say that the display is dim as it is sufficiently bright for indoor conditions, but pricier alternatives like the XPS 15 can be two times brighter for significantly better visibility outdoors.

Wide IPS viewing angles. Contrast and colors degrade from extreme wide angles

Performance — 28 W TDP Core i5-8259U Returns

Processor

The 28 W Core i5-8259U holds up well to newer models despite being a few years old. Multi-thread performance edges out both the newer 10th gen Core i5-1035G1 and i7-1065G7 while being behind in single-thread performance by 10 to 15 percent.

Performance sustainability is excellent with no significant dips over time when at 100 percent CPU utilization for extended periods.

Storage Devices — Up to 2x M.2 2280 SSDs

Our test unit ships with a budget 512 GB Kingston NVMe SSD for sequential read and write rates of up to ~1600 MB/s and ~1000 MB/s, respectively, according to our own tests and benchmarks. Faster NVMe drives exist, but the system can only support up to PCI x2 and not x4 speeds which is acceptable given the price, ULV processor, and graphics. If installing a second drive, keep in mind that it must be an M.2 SATA III drive.

System can support up to one M.2 PCIe 3 x2 2280 NVMe SSD and one M.2 SATA III 2280 SSD simultaneously

Emissions — Quiet Most of the Time

System Noise

Fan noise is almost always quiet during low to low-medium loads like browsing or streaming. When running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06, fan noise would slowly increase to 27.9 dB(A) before falling back down to a barely noticeable 25.9 dB(A).

When running more demanding loads like games for longer periods, fan noise would steadily increase until maxing out at 43 dB(A) which is not an uncommon upper-range for Ultrabooks. It's unlikely users will experience this maximum unless if the CPU is constantly under stressful loads.

Cooling solution consists of two ~45 mm fans with two copper heat pipes between them

Our unit would exhibit very slight electronic noise or coil whine when placing an ear near the keyboard keys

One DDR4 SODIMM slot for expansion up to 24 GB total (8 GB soldered + 16 GB expandable)

Note the soldered RAM modules adjacent to the CPU

Temperature

Surface temperatures are not an issue no matter the load as the 15.6-inch form factor and dual fans are more than enough to cool a Core-U series processor. Small hot spots on the top and bottom toward the rear of the chassis can reach 35 C and 50 C, respectively, where hands are unlikely to touch.

(+) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 28 °C / 82 F, compared to the average of 31.2 °C / 88 F for the devices in the class Multimedia.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 35.6 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 25.2 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 31.2 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 24.2 °C / 75.6 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (+4.7 °C / 8.4 F).

Stress Test

The CPU will boost up to 3 GHz for about 20 seconds when running Prime95 or until core temperatures hit 90 C. Thereafter, clock rates would fall to just 2.4 GHz in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 69 C. Turbo Boost sustainability is therefore poor as the base clock rate of the Core i5-8259U is 2.3 GHz or just 100 MHz slower than the stable Turbo Boost clock rate.

Running on battery power will impact processor performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 6738 and 1296 points, respectively, compared to 9276 and 1365 points when on mains.

Speakers — Tin Can Quality

Pink noise at maximum volume shows the speakers could have been louder. Bass is also very poor even by laptop standards
