Chuwi’s LapBook
Air will be a super slim one with a thickness of just 6mm in the thinnest point
and weigh 1.3Kg total. The laptop will also feature a fully laminated 14.1-inch
IPS display with Full HD resolution and 320cd/㎡ brightness, with the external
aluminum body looking a lot like an Apple MacBook.
Well, according to the latest
details revealed by the Chinese company, on the laptop we’ll find 8GB of RAM,
which is definitely more than what we can find on other equivalent laptops on
the market that top at 4GB or 6GB of RAM.
Are 8GB of RAM really necessary though? Maybe. While
you can definitely live with less than that, having more RAM is always
preferable. It allows you to run more programs at the same time without having
you worried of reaching the limit and slowing down the system.
If for example you use programs like Photoshop,
having more RAM will be important; same situation if you like opening dozens of
tabs on Chrome, which take more RAM than you might think. So, Chuwi is doing
well in pushing 8GB of RAM, hopefully making it the industry standard even on
lower priced Chinese laptops.
Other than that, Chuwi also announced the LapBook
Air will come with 128GB of storage and support M.2 SSD expansion, so you could
always speed up your PC if you want to. It’ll feature a backlit logo and
keyboard as well.
