Chinese PC maker Chuwi’s latest computer is a 2-in-1 tablet that basically looks like a large, low-power Microsoft Surface Clone.
The Chuwi Lapbook Pro is a tablet with a 14 inch full HD display, an Intel Gemini Lake processor, and a detachable keyboard.
It’s up for order from AliExpress for $999… which seems at least twice as expensive as you’d expect for a tablet with these specs. I suspect the price will be adjusted soon.
The tablet is powered by an Intel Celeron N4100 quad-core processor and features 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It has a 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS display and a metal chassis. and according to the specs listed at AliExpress, the tablet measures 0.4 to 0.7 inches thick and weighs about 3.3 pounds.
The spec sheet also says the Lapbook Pro features an Ethernet jack, a mini HDMI 2.0 port, a USB Type-C port, and a single USB 3.0 Type-A port — but the product image shows a tablet with two USB-A ports. So I’d take the specs (along with the price) with a grain of salt for now.

A large screen Windows tablet really does appeal to me, but not with these specs, and not from Chuwi (the Lapbook Air got really bad reviews).
I’ve been waiting for something to bring back the formula that the HP Envy X2 15 had (15.6″ Windows tablet, with a Core M processor). Its basically a mobile workstation tablet.
Chuwi sure comes up with some interesting products. Where does this one fit in their weird lineup. Their CoreBook has a m3-7Y30 CPU, 13.3″ screen, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage for about $450 at eBay. Those are far superior specs at half the price of this LapBook.
