MiniBook X comes loaded with the latest generation Intel 11th Celeron N5100 processor, including 10 nm process technology, quad-core and four threads, new Tremont microarchitecture, and a 10 W thermal power consumption design that ups the power while lowering the consumption. MiniBook X handles document editing, basic video production, and modern gaming with increased efficiency, while next-gen Intel UHD Graphics makes it easy to decode 4K video and fluidly handle online games.

As an enhanced and upgraded version of MiniBook, MiniBook X introduces a 10.8-inch hole-punch display with 2K retina resolution, 90% screen-to-body ratio and a 16:10 aspect ratio for a shockingly immersive viewing experience. Chuwi has also added YOGA Mode to MiniBook X, giving it the 2 in 1 functionality of both a laptop and tablet and the ability to switch back and forth as needed quickly.





Great LPDDR4X 12 GB memory + 512 GB high-speed SSD storage means MiniBook X can boot up in seconds, get to work faster, and multitask without breaking a sweat. It also comes standard with a full-featured Type-C interface and supports 45 W PD 2.0 fast charging and video, audio, and data transmission.

With new features like its hole-punch display, Yoga Mode, and other great specs, MiniBook X is primed to expand on MiniBook's popularity and take ultra-thin, ultra-powerful UMPC's to the next level. At an estimated price of around 599 USD, MiniBoox X will soon be offered only on Chuwi's official site.

How do you attach the shovel handle to it?
It does say it's a hole digging screen laptop.
Also the CPU sounds more like an EV, 2.8GHz RWD?

I was thinking the same thing, lol
A laptop that can dig a hole would be a nice feature, i have to admit!

Someone needs to explain what a hole punch display means! Is this some kind of Banksy joke?

It is barely-branded, so it kind of fits. It is a netbook-type cheap throwaway commodity device, what do you expect?

You know, typing "hole-punch display" into a search engine would take you less time than typing this comment, they're not really a new thing. A hole-digging display, on the other hand, is interesting. A laptop with integrated shovel might be useful for those late night dates that don't go well.

Look at the screen in the pictures, it is referring to the location of the webcam, built behind the screen and not in the bezel.
