In a bold move to cater to professionals and power users, Chuwi has unveiled its latest flagship laptop, the CoreBook X, featuring an Intel Core i9-13900HK processor and a 3:2 aspect ratio display. The device aims to bridge the gap between premium performance and affordability, solidifying Chuwi’s reputation as a contender in the competitive laptop market.
High-Performance Hardware for Demanding Tasks
At the heart of the CoreBook X is Intel’s 13th-gen Core i9-13900HK CPU, a 14-core, 20-thread beast capable of turbo speeds up to 5.4GHz. This chipset, paired with Intel Iris Xe graphics, promises seamless multitasking for content creators, developers, and gamers alike. Whether rendering 4K video, compiling code, or running resource-heavy applications, the CoreBook X is built to handle it without breaking a sweat.
Chuwi hasn’t skimped on memory or storage, either. The laptop ships with up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, ensuring lightning-fast data access and smooth workflow transitions. For connectivity, it includes Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 6E, and HDMI 2.1, making it a versatile hub for peripherals and external displays.
A Display Designed for Productivity
The standout feature of the CoreBook X is its 14-inch IPS LCD screen with a 3:2 aspect ratio—a rarity in consumer laptops. The taller display offers 18% more vertical space compared to traditional 16:9 panels, ideal for scrolling through documents, editing spreadsheets, or coding. With a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, 100% sRGB color coverage, and 400 nits of brightness, the screen balances sharpness, accuracy, and readability even in bright environments.
Chuwi’s decision to adopt the 3:2 format mirrors trends seen in premium devices like Microsoft’s Surface lineup, emphasizing productivity over media consumption. The laptop also includes a sleek aluminum chassis weighing just 1.4kg, making it portable enough for on-the-go professionals.
Software and Ecosystem Integration
Running Windows 11 Pro out of the box, the CoreBook X supports advanced features like DirectStorage for faster game load times and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for developers. Chuwi has also optimized its cooling system, utilizing dual fans and heat pipes to keep temperatures in check during sustained workloads.
Interestingly, Chuwi’s push into high-performance devices comes just months after the launch of its budget-friendly Hi10 X1 tablet, a Windows-powered hybrid recently highlighted by GSM Go Tech. While the Hi10 X1 targets casual users and students, the CoreBook X positions itself as a premium alternative for professionals—a strategic expansion of Chuwi’s portfolio.
Pricing and Availability
The CoreBook X starts at $1,299 for the base model (16GB RAM/512GB SSD), with pre-orders opening globally via Chuwi’s website. Early adopters will receive a complimentary stylus and leather sleeve.
“We’re redefining what users can expect from a ‘value-first’ brand,” said Chuwi’s CEO in a press statement. “The CoreBook X isn’t just about specs—it’s about delivering a holistic experience for creators and professionals.”
