CHUWI this week announced their UniBook laptop as a ~$449 USD laptop that aims to compete with Apple’s MacBook Neo. While shipping with Microsoft Windows 11, it should be Linux-friendly and we’ll soon be putting it to the test at Phoronix.<\/p>\n

CHUWI’s $449 laptop makes use of the Intel Core 3 304 5-core \/ 5-thread laptop that uses Wildcat Lake as a cut-down version of Panther Lake. The CHUWI UniBook is among the early devices making use of those newly-announced Wildcat Lake SoCs.\n<\/p>\n

The aim at least under Windows 11 is for the $449 laptop’s battery to last for 15~20 hours. Going along with the UniBook’s Core 3 304 is a 1920 x 1200 14-inch display, 8GB LPDDR5X memory, WiFi 6, and Gigabit Ethernet.

From all my close monitoring of Wildcat Lake enablement for the Linux kernel and the like, Wildcat Lake’s Linux support should be in good shape at this stage.<\/p>\n

CHUWI’s claims relative to the MacBook Neo:

For those curious the CHUWI UniBook on Linux, CHUWI should be sending over a review sample soon for checking it out with Linux and putting Wildcat Lake through a lot of benchmarks. Stay tuned.
