You deserve way more recognition. Your reviews are very honest and informative. If someone watched your review on a device I doubt they would need to look at other reviews. Great Review!
Sir you not only give the detailed videos but you really goes into the product by opening it and gives the details what makes you different and more interesting 1️⃣👌
Thank you for putting the time references in the description. They were so helpful wish this was a feature in other videos.
I was waiting for this unboxin, and of course I will be waiting for the full review!
Sorry got the RAM wrong, it's one 4GB 2400Mhz chip on the MB, set to 2133Mhz and single channel!
Yes, this is it!!! Been waiiting for this. I just bougth mine but still waiting for it.
Absolutely great review! I am waiting for mine which is coming in a couple of weeks!
If you are NOT running 10 social media windows at the same time, you are going to really love this laptop. AS Chris says, his heat sink mod is not necessary unless you open up the power limit and game or otherwise reallly push the gemini lake.
Thank you for this :). I got mine a few days ago, and went ahead and did your copper shim mod on it, used a nail file to expose copper in the right spot, and unlocked the power limit with throttlestop, can maintain max clock almost indefinitely around 10.3-11.8w and temps stay below 80c
One of the finest reviewer i've ever known.. very in-dept, oh and i think i like that notebook.
Been waiting for this one!
Glad you have this now. Thanks
amazing review as always
Nice video Chris. Thanks.
Great review. Thank you Chris. Chuwi should come up with a $289-299 model that adds RAM.
Sodimm slot would be perfect
Thank you for mentioning linux support, I know probably not many people care, but it is greatly appreciated from those who do!
Best thing i like about your review is that u include Linux also though its a bit time only but its good to know that Linux boots and works on this
Could you write step by step the way to cloning the emmc to SSD? Thanks
Cool design between laps.
great review
Excellent vid and 'hand's on' , as usual. I too have decided on a thermal mod, 85 c is just a bit too toasty for me. I am actually surprised at the quality of the build, both internal and external, as you say , especially for the price. salutations.
My heatsink mod is done, working really well even with no power limits. Video on it soon.
what about the quality of the webcam? nice review btw like always, your channel is very useful
Really looking forward to you Techlast F5 video. I'm on the edge of pulling a trigger on one of these, and can't really decide. For now, I'm a little bit more found of the Techlast F5 (because the smaller, lighter design, also the touchscreen and 8GB ram is a nice thing to have).
Thanks for a very good review. Can you make a video of how to clone Windows 10 from eMMC to SSD?
Hi Chris
Thanks for the detailed unboxing and review videos!
I've bought this lapbook SE as a result. So far happy with it!
However I have a question, whether have you tried swapping the Forsee SSD with an M.2 NVMe SSD? I'm not sure whether the Apollo Lake/chipset supports NVMe, but apparently there's a setting for it in BIOS?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Nice video! For this kind of devices it could be useful to test how it performs on Linux, you could try a live usb flash drive with Ubuntu or something equally easy, it should not take a lot of time.
Could you do a comparative between Chuwi Air and Chuwi SE?
The cooling fan is noisy? Thanks great review!
For 250euro seams like a great laptop. A few cons but no real deal breakers.
Hi Sir, Can you help me to move the windows OS to SSD? Thank You!
Ive been waiting for this video! Because of you I bought my Xiaomi mi notebook pro last week. And I couldn't have been happier I went with the Xiaomi and not the chuwi.
Good move well the Mi Notebook pro is a premium laptop, very nice and this one is only a budget offering. $259 vs $799 - Enjoy the Mi Notebook Pro!
Yeah he made me buy the teclast f6 pro haha.
Yeah! Its just only 3 times more expensive, nice.
@ me too. lol. but im still happy with my f6 pro purchase. been with me for around 6 months.
Hi Chris! Can't make up my mind between this one and teclast f7. Which one do you recommend? Thanks for the great reviews!
Great review! Is the ssd slot sata or pcie (nvme)? Thanks
Great review and very detailed, just a quick question on this Chuwi Lapbook SE, is it possible to upgrade the SSD? Thanks a lot in advance!
I don't know if it's just me or my headphones, the stereo audio on this video wobbles between left and right while you're speaking from behind the camera. Just letting you know. Great vid as usual :]
Sorry no I'm having 3.5mm jack issues on my Sony A6300, I think it has finally given up the ghost.
smaller bezzels and a typce c charging port and i will buy it. Great review but sometimes the audio is un-confortable.
Please add to the review of the processing of an image in any graphic editor. Perform the most common operations.
I hope jumper will soon release an ezbook x4 with ezbook 3 pro' screen and thermals.
It would be just perfect.
really need your help. chuwi se or teclast f6 pro ?
Hey,
Was wondering about the import tax thing since you live in Europe. thinking of importing it aswell but idk how much the custom will be. I've seen some offering duty-free but theyre using DHL. Also amazing videos
I had to pay 42 euros tax on this as it was sent with DHL to get it fast for the review. But if you use a slow method it should arrive without any taxes. At least that's how it is in Spain.
Arrived also to me. Some little bobbles in the border / corner of the display
Nice video!
Chuwi Lapbook SE or Ezbook X4?
Is the display better than macbook air? Mainly the colors? Is it worth giving up my macbook air for this chuwi? Thanks
Is it possible to take off the Key caps? for example to change the Z and Y Keycap (German layout).
Can you do a comparison between this and jumper ezbook 3 pro or x4, thank you!
I've got the teclast f5 which I chose over this because of the ram. This is a pretty laptop. I prefer the power key location on the chuwi over the teclast. That's for sure. I accidentally hit the power key on the side very often. Also the 2 usb 3 ports on the chuwi are a big plus. No random micro usb port like on the teclast. I look forward to your review on the teclast.
carebearstare5000 does the teclast f5 perform well and how is the screen
John Mcenroe i'm having the same struggle, teclast f5 or the chuwi se. Are you happy with your choice of the teclast?
They could have just updated the lapbook air to the Gemini Lake, it already has the 8 GB RAM and backlit keyboard.
Very true! But this build is better I feel. Still Gemini lake in that lapbook air would have been fine.
How about Gesture Operation on chuwi lapbook se gemini lake 4 gb ? Is support 3 finger ? Or 4 finger ?
would you recommend this over the teclast f7?
Hi, Chris!) Jumper Ezbook X4 vs Chuwi Lapbook SE. Are u planning to do comparison between these laptops?
wow
ខ
Hi there, is this Chuwi Lapbook SE compatible with SSD up to 240gb or above?
Is it only compatible for SSA M.2 2280 model?
Are you still reviewing the teclast f5 Chris? the 8gb ram model?
Was wondering if you could do a comparison video on this and the teclast F5 when you get it thank you for this review
I think I will when I get the Teclast and use it. But yes I can see already for the ports and the size the Lapbook might suit my needs more. I hate using dongles and fine 11.6" a little small. However the 8GB of RAM and touchscreen is something I look forward to and Teclast's build has been very good lately. Will be hard to decide on which one I keep.
I think if the teclast f5 had a 13 or 14 inch screen I would buy it straight away but because portability is not really a need for me... but that 8gb of ddr4 ram and touchscreen are amazing
Will you test linux on the teclast f5? If that works, I'm getting that one
So what Chuwi se 13.3 or a T5, T7?? Or any other in the same bracket??
Great review as always! Can you clarify if this laptop can hold a 2280 m.2 ssd or will I have to look for the smaller 2242?
it will handle the 2280.
When Will You test the teclast F5?
I hope to have it next week. It's somewhere between the UK and Spain right now.
can you explaine the ssd windows thing? there is a lot of coments and no answers :/
Could you try the Dolphin emulator on a Gemini Lake? I'd like to see how they handle games like Mario Sunshine.
Hey. I'm wondering. What's the best performance for the buck Chinese laptop's where you can use, Facebook, RUclips and HD and/or higher. Typing on office programs. Netflix HD or higher. Preferably also with 8gig ram. There is such a big sea of low end but good performing laptops that I really dont know where to start. For my knowlage i5 or higher is the best for this use. Thanks for any answere. Great videos btw. ... and it can maby be a windows 10 tablet also. Dont know yet.
Hello sir.
I've watched and seen from your video that those backlight bleed from 7:25 to 7:47 is just normal for IPS screens. Can I have permission to qoute you just as reference to our Pocophone group. Coz some users are really doubtful and paranoid by that small "backlight bleedx from some of the bottom part of the phone screen making it a big issue. Just wanted a good and simple explanation why it is just completely normal.
How did you get 8hr battery life?? Im getting 4hr max on regular use
almost 2019, and some manufacturer still selling 4GB ram notebook, wp
The density of the components is very impressive especially the battery, if they had make it 1-2mm thicker and use a 50Wh or above battery it would have been perfect
50Wh would be awesome as it is i'm getting around 8-9 hours on the battery mixed use with 35% brightness. If it had a 50Wh battery it would be a 12 hour laptop.
If it had 8 gigs of ram, and a bit more kick, i would tempted to buy this as a hackentosh.
There might be an 8GB version it was mentioned on their twitter.
But can you even put MacOS on it?
Use linux, it's the same...
no, its not. not even close.
Then you should inform yourself about operating systems ;)
Which one is the best laptop around 600$? It would be thin and light.
hello. can you recommend a good laptop? my budget is under 400 dollars. Would need full windows 10. something that can handle multiple tabs open? and maybe even games?
Hello, could you tell me how this laptop handles photoshop?
The 8 gb ram version will arrive, they announced it on Twitter.
Yeah? Got a link?
If so that's an awesome buy tempted to keep one as a spare in case my primary laptop is updating or stops working
@@Techtablets just found it for you on twitter - tagged you in. Great video.
Thanks about linux part u rock!
I have a ezbook 3 pro v1 and I would like to upgrade a little. My main concern is the missing ssd slot I have and the awful TouchPad. Would you say this chuwi is a good alternative or would you recommend something else? Thanks!
If you only need it for basic tasks yes happy with the pwoer it has yes, it's a nice upgrade over it and much better than the EZBook Pro V1
Does it really bring you to that next level? So not forget the 6gb of ram ... boot your win 10 and look how much is free: 4 GB and now imagine to have Just 2 instead of 4 GB RAM. Save 3 to 6 months your money to get a thinker 35 with twice AS fast CPU, 8 GB RAM, gute SSD and MS surface Screen. 329€ is what i had paid for. Eversthing is top. Far better than my ezbook 3pro V6 I had owned before since last August.
Isn't that asus tuf in the back of table ?
Is this stronger than Jumper Ez book 3 pro ??
We need a 8gb version ASAP, it looks like a great competitor for the chinese laptop scene up until this month but still the RAM makes it unusable when it comes to the chrome browser or daily use
Not really, unless you constantly have 30 tabs open, its totally fine.
I'd love to know, you mentioned it's HDMI port is 2.0a, is this confirmed as I would like to hook this up to my 4K HDR TV and get that 4K HDR at 60Hz goodness, Thanks.
both of mine run 4k @ 60.
Lap book:) sounds a bit weird btw great video
Does this laptop support NVME or just SATA 3?
Can it change to 8gb manually?
Like how Linux is tested!
Hi, how long do you keep the products you review?
Depends a few weeks some others for years. Still got my lapbook 12.3
You had some problem with mic?
This will be very good with Chrome OS! It is possible to install? Regards
A step in the right direction for Chuwi, but they need to listen to your suggested enhancements. Cheers Chris!
I hope they do. 8GB, improve the thermals with a simple 5 cent thermal pad and install Windows on the SSD = The best budget laptop for the price.
But I'm also looking forward to the Teclast F5, looks very good. However no full sized USB ports and only a 29Wh battery.
@@Techtablets Nothing you're suggesting would increase the price too much, so it's rather annoying that these things have to be pointed out to them. It's almost as if they don't want to deliver the perfect budget machine, for some unknown reason. It can't be that difficult. Hmm... Perhaps we're missing part of their profit/money strategy. Hmm...
@@Techtablets Me too. Will be looking out for my next Techtablets thriller. Enjoy the weekend.
The windows installation on the eMMC is for a lowcost/free Win10 license.
How do I get one to buy and delivered to me. I am in Ghana
better than the teclast f7?
Is it possible for me to upgrade to 8GB?
12:30 for generic 80s movie soundtrack 😜
For all people wondering about 4GB of RAM - they most likely didn't go for 8GB because not only that laptop would cost more with that more expensive memory - it would also cost more because Windows license is pricier if manufacturer wants it for device that has more than 4GB of RAM.
@@UCrI6_31b1OHRE62BHTMYN0Q Hi Chris, I have this laptop and I have a issue with hinge. İt feels so soft to me so is there any way to make it hard a little? Thanks
Bro review and unbox vivo v11 pro. Please....
I just bought the Teclast F5, I wonder how it will perform
They say It has a problem when streaming audio through bluetooth
@@Marco-dr5ho I'll see, that one problem would be small, it will arrive around Oct 1, I think TechTablets Chris will review it before that.
Can anyone advise if the M.2 uses 2242 or 2280 for this lapbook se please? thanks
2280:)
Hii I am a student who is going to college in the spring and im looking for affordable laptops any I saw this one...would this be a good fit for me or would you recommend another brand... NEED SOME ASSISTANCE PLEASE ANYONE THXX!
If you can live with 4GB of RAM and basic tasks, yes it's one to go for.
has is got a touch screen too?
no touch screen
4gb of ram is definitely not enough.
I have the Chuwi Lapbook 12.3 (previous model) with 6gb and I hit the limit often with lots of Chrome tabs.
Let's wait for an 8gb model....
Gaming test would be cool in the full review, thanks!
no mordern laptop should have 4gb. At least 8gb
@@flizzy4645 or atleast upgreadable, with extra slot... We are not asking too much. :)
Because people love to have a lot of chrome tabs open in the background, although its totally not efficient, myself included.
Its not that much of a nauseance, but its always nice to have a chrome tab open instantly from RAM memory than reloading completely.
On the low-end PCs I think its a pretty good deal, it would be better if they improved the low-end processors.
The dual-core celerons and AMDs and atom processors really have no place in 2018. I would know, because I am writing this on a celeron n3060 and after a few weeks I realized, I fucked up, cause its the only thing thats not upgradeable and soldered onto the motherboard and it will bottleneck every upgrade I make.
Anyways, my rant is over. Thoughts?
For reference it takes me around 10-12 Chrome tabs before I run into freezing/slowing down as pages are swapped out. So not a lot with 6gb of ram....
The N4100 probably has a decent performance boost over N3450 and the ram speed is faster, so with 8gb it would be decent for day-to-day tasks.
@@nedimsisic2370 Yeah.. no amount of RAM or an SSD will help you with that chip. But hey, N4100 is good for office documents, web browsing and media (music/movies), so if you need to do anything heavier than that, then it's time to upgrade. I'd say wait till Q3 2019 I bet i5 will be cheaper.
Damn, just wished that the screen wasn't laminated.
A very good looking laptop with great specs and good battery life, the 4GB of RAM should be fine if using Linux rather than windows.
Huh? If it weren't laminated it would look even worse.
@@alejandroperez5368 I prefer visibility (no reflections) over good colors, but that's just my opinion.
matte screen protector actually does a good job to fix that issue.
They should have installed there one RAM slot.
wowowowow
Plz make a review of zte nubia z18 and z18 mini .....plz plz plz plz plzz plzz plz plz plz ...plz sir. .
Purchased two of these tablets and both went wrong within months and I have had nothing but grief getting them repaired,.
The SE is not a tablet. I have 3 Chuwi laptops . not a single issue.
