Chuwi Aerobook Plus Review Online

Chris G

Previously called the Aerobook Pro, the Chuwi Aerobook Plus was sent out to me a few weeks ago to test and review. It’s a loan pre-production unit, so not perfect or reflecting the final product. Still, I had plenty of time to test it out, get to the bottom of if the Aerobook is something you might consider or not. A lot of people were put off by the 6th Gen CPU they are using. It’s the Core i5 6287U. The same very chip found in the older MacBook Pro’s back in its day (5 years ago now) it wasn’t too bad, but times have changed and most laptops with 4k screens would use a quad-core SoC.

As I mentioned in the full review I feel a Core i5 8250U (Now a few years old) would have been perfect still in 2018. Better yet an AMD SoC and I’m sure many would have been happy to pay a bit extra for it. The build is similar to the Aerobook the first Core M3 model, Lapbook SE or the Laptop Pro. Alloy full metal body, backlit keyboard with nice key travel, and keycaps. Although my unit did have an issue with the space bar I was told won’t be in the production model. The touchpad is larger and not bad however some of the finer movements the cursor moved about a bit to much making finer work a bit too fiddly. This again, I was told would be corrected in the final version.

The screen is the star of this 15.6″ laptop, 4k BOE panel with 340nits. It’s very sharp and has good color reproduction with 95% sRGB and 74% Adobe RGB but it’s glossy. Below is the in-depth review covering, the design and build, internals, screen, keyboard, touchpad, performance, benchmarks, audio test, fan noise sample, thermals, and battery life.
