Ninkear T40: New convertible with Intel processor and lots of storage

The Ninkear T40 is a new convertible that can be used as a tablet as well as a normal laptop with a backlit keyboard and a touchpad. But potential buyers should note that the T40 is not a performance miracle. Only an Intel N100 is installed, so performance is probably only sufficient for office tasks and media playback. At 16 GB, the RAM is surprisingly large and should not be a bottleneck. Windows 11 is preinstalled on a M.2 SSD with a decent capacity of 512 GB.

Ninkear is unlikely to win any prizes with the screen either: The 14-inch touchscreen has a resolution of 1920 x 1200, which is certainly acceptable. However, the brightness is specified as just 250 cd/m². The screen can process ten simultaneous touch inputs. Wireless network connections are established via WiFi 6, while Bluetooth 5.2 is also supported.

Two USB-C ports are on board, one of which not only supports data transfer, but also charging via USB PD and image output. There is also an HDMI in micro format. A 2 MP front camera is installed and the 5000 mAh battery is said to last up to 15 hours in office mode.

The convertible is available directly from the manufacturer for a price of $423, which is said to include shipping costs and import duties. However, the enforcing of warranty rights may be difficult.

A possible alternative with Chrome OS and a smaller display: Buy the Chromebook IdeaPad Duet 3 at Amazon.
