The FreeBook N100 is its latest offering.
The best speed offered by these is USB 3.2 Gen 1, and one requires charging.
The FreeBook can also be sourced throughAmazon.com for $359.99if you want it quickly.
But these are typically basic laptops without a tablet mode or a touchscreen.
One exception is the Asus BR1102FGA, an N100-powered laptop with an 11.6" touchscreen and 2-in-1 functionality.
It costs around $300, although it has only 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
For the specification and build quality, the Chuwi FreeBook offers excellent value for money.
This is an exceptionally clean design.
Chuwi provided one of its HiPen H7 stylus, which works well with this machine.
Confusingly, the third USB-C port is only USB 2.0 and was clearly designed for a mouse.
Why this machine doesn’t have any USB-A ports is a mystery.
Students using this machine need to ensure that any updates are installed before using the FreeBook for an exam.
Or updates are disabled to avoid the slowdowns that downloading and installing can exhibit.
The use of Windows on this hardware negatively impacts both the user experience and power consumption.
The screen and keyboard are both decent, and it’s reasonably lightweight.
Should you buy a Chuwi FreeBook N100?
Using 1,000mb/s rated external SSDs or even faster options won’t operate to their full potential.
