Verdict - Lightweight and affordable notebook for home office and office work
The Chuwi CoreBook Air presents itself as a compact everyday notebook with well-balanced features. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H is no longer one of the latest AMD processor models, although the performance is completely sufficient for most everyday tasks. The workmanship is at a reasonable level for the price range, even if details such as the audible Clickpad or the keyboard getting used to can be noticeable. The Chuwi CoreBook Air also limits itself to a basic, functional selection of ports and is therefore at a typical level for notebooks in this price range.
The integrated graphics are only suitable for complex games to a limited extent, but the device is reliable in typical everyday work with acceptable battery runtimes. Overall, the result is a coherent overall package of mobility, performance, and price awareness, which is particularly aimed at students, mobile users, and classic office users.
Pros
Cons
Chuwi is positioning the CoreBook Air as a compact work notebook for price-conscious users. The 14-inch device is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, which provides sufficient performance reserves for typical office tasks and multitasking. Other features include 16 GB of RAM and a fast SSD, which keeps the system pleasantly responsive in everyday use. The matte IPS display ensures a decent display in different lighting conditions. Windows 11 is used as the operating system, which means the notebook is ready for immediate use.
Specifications
Case & features
Chuwi uses a combination of metal and plastic for the CoreBook Air, which keeps the notebook pleasantly light and easy to transport. Despite the low weight, the casing is solidly stable in everyday use, even if the surfaces can be felt to yield slightly under stronger pressure. Overall, the workmanship leaves a decent impression and is at a level that matches the price range. The existing connections are rather functional but reliably cover the most important requirements in daily use.

Sustainability
Chuwi tends to keep a low profile when it comes to the environmental and sustainability aspects of the CoreBook Air. The manufacturer does not provide any specific information on the CO₂ balance or the use of recycled materials. The notebook is delivered in classic cardboard packaging, supplemented by protective foam elements for transportation.
Input devices
Chuwi's CoreBook Air has a keyboard with a clearly defined pressure point and a comparatively firm stroke, which pleasantly supports longer typing sessions. The vertical arrow keys are smaller due to the design, which takes some getting used to at first, but quickly becomes routine in everyday use. The notebook comes with a QWERTY layout as standard, including two-stage adjustable backlighting.
The generously sized clickpad offers plenty of space for gestures and precise control. Clicks are clearly defined, but are somewhat more audible. The surface ensures good gliding properties and reacts reliably right up to the edges.
Display
The 14-inch panel of the Chuwi CoreBook Air presents itself as a reliable work surface in everyday use. The built-in IPS display ensures stable viewing angles and an overall balanced display, while the matte surface effectively reduces reflections and thus ensures pleasant working conditions, especially indoors. In very bright ambient light or direct sunlight, however, the panel reaches its limits - as is usual in this class.
The notebook also delivers a solid performance in the price range when it comes to color reproduction. Content appears coherent and sufficiently precise for typical office tasks and occasional creative work. The display remains balanced overall without being explicitly aimed at professional users. Another positive aspect is that no annoying brightness fluctuations due to PWM are to be expected in everyday use.

Processor
The Chuwi CoreBook Air is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, a 6-core processor with 12 threads, which is designed for a balanced mix of efficiency and performance. This provides more than enough computing power for classic office tasks, web applications, media consumption, and parallel work with several programs. In comparison, our test sample ranks on a par with the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS used in the Ninkear S14. On closer inspection, it is noticeable that the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H in the CoreBook Air is permanently limited to around 28 watts. As a result, the available performance is below what the CPU could basically achieve. Compared to our average values with an identical processor, the notebook lags in terms of performance by around ten percent.

System performance
The Chuwi CoreBook Air is pleasantly smooth and reliable in everyday use. The notebook masters classic tasks such as word processing, surfing, video streaming, or parallel work with several programs without any problems. In synthetic benchmarks, however, the device ranks in the lower midfield of comparable systems, which is primarily due to the conservative performance tuning and the limited continuous load performance.

Mass storage
Chuwi has installed a 512 GB SSD in the CoreBook Air, which provides sufficiently fast loading and access times for typical everyday tasks. In direct comparison with particularly high-performance NVMe drives, however, the model used belongs more to the entry-level class. The read speed can drop slightly during longer, intensive use. In addition, there is no direct thermal coupling of the SSD to the base plate, which can affect performance stability under continuous load.

GPU performance
The Chuwi CoreBook Air is primarily designed as a work and everyday device and is not designed for demanding games. The AMD Radeon 660M integrated in the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H is sufficient for typical multimedia tasks, simple image editing, and occasional casual gaming but quickly reaches its limits with current 3D titles.

Emissions & energy
Noise emissions
The Chuwi CoreBook Air is pleasantly restrained when idle and is barely noticeable in normal office use. Only under sustained load does the cooling system turn up audibly, whereby the overall noise development is at a typical level for compact performance notebooks. In direct comparison, there are some models that are even quieter under full load, but the CoreBook Air's background noise remains largely inconspicuous in everyday use.

Temperature
The Chuwi CoreBook Air develops a noticeable but generally uncritical amount of heat during normal everyday work - for example when surfing, streaming, or performing typical office tasks. Under higher load, the temperatures rise as expected but remain within a safe range and do not lead to unpleasantly hot surfaces. For heat dissipation, Chuwi relies on a classic cooling system consisting of a heat pipe and a single fan, which reliably keeps the components within the intended temperature limits.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46.8 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 43 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 39.3 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27 °C / 81 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 33 °C / 91 F, compared to the average of 30.8 °C / 87 F for the class Subnotebook.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 28.8 °C / 83.8 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.2 °C / 82.8 F (-0.6 °C / -1 F).

Speakers
The integrated speakers of the Chuwi CoreBook Air are primarily designed for speech and everyday applications and are well suited for video calls, streams, or short videos. When listening to music or watching movies, however, it is noticeable that the sound lacks a little depth and volume, which means that trebles are more prominent. For a more sonorous and balanced listening experience, we therefore recommend using headphones or external speakers.

Power consumption
The Chuwi CoreBook Air's energy consumption is solid overall, although not particularly economical. Compared to some similarly compact notebooks, the consumption is slightly higher but remains within an uncritical range in everyday use.
