73.5% Chuwi GemiBook CWI528 Laptop Review: Full sRGB Coverage For $300 USD | Notebookcheck
The 13-inch Chuwi GemiBook offers the best 3:2 display you can find in this price range. Unfortunately, that nice display comes at the cost of subpar processor performance and an unreliable keyboard.

80% Chuwi GemiBook Pro laptop review
Source: Techradar English
The GemiBook Pro is an excellent upgrade from the GemiBook and yet falls short of our (high) expectations from Chuwi. Other than its only unique selling point, its superlative display, the GemiBook Pro doesn’t offer much in terms of hardware and that’s a real shame.

Chuwi:


Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel UHD Graphics 600: Integrated low-end graphics adapter with DirectX 12 support, which can be found in some ULV SoCs from the Gemini Lake series. Compared to the HD Graphics 500, the 600 offers improved display outputs. Compared to the faster UHD Graphics 605, the 600 offers less shaders at lower clock speeds.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N): Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake-h SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 24 of the 32 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock speed depends on the processor model. Only suited for very low demanding games.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Gemini Lake:

Celeron J4115: Low power quad-core SoC from the Gemini Lake series for inexpensive mini PCs. Runs at 1.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz and integrates a DirectX 12 capable graphics adapter.

Celeron J4125: Low power quad-core SoC from the Gemini Lake series for inexpensive mini PCs. Runs with clocks between 2 - 2.7 GHz and integrates a DirectX 12 capable graphics adapter. The TDP is specified at 10 Watt.

Intel Alder Lake-N:

N100: Alder-Lake-N based mobile CPU with 4 efficient cores (Gracemont) with 1 - 3.4 GHz. The TDP is specified at only 6 Watt.

13.00:

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

No weight comment found (one expected)!


76.17%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
