New Chuwi Lapbook 12.3 is one of the most interesting budget laptops out there, mainly thanks to the gorgeous 2K screen with 2736×1824 pixel resolution with 3:2 aspect ratio. And today it got even more appealing, because according to Chuwi’s press release the laptop now officially supports Ubuntu. It’s not pre-installed as a dual-boot though, so the users need to get and install the system themselves.
Chuwi Lapbook 12.3 is powered by the Intel Apollo Lake N3450 paired with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB of internal eMMC storage, but luckily you can expand it with SSD thanks to easily accessible M.2 slot. And now you can also get it with a special discount on Gearbest, because with a coupon code CHUWI123 first 100 customers will get a special $299 price. And even if you are not among the lucky first ones you can still get the flash sale deal for $309.
Gizchina News of the week
Actually with the release of the Lapbook 12.3 some other Chuwi products got discounted too, for example the Chuwi Lapbook 15.6 with Intel X5-Z8350, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB ROM is down to just $169, or the Chuwi Hi10 Plus tablet with the same processor, FullHD 10.8″ screen and dual boot Android 5.1/Windows 10 for just $164.
This is great that we are finally getting Linux support, as Windows 10 is a cancer. Though the bezels on this thing make me want to throw up.
Yeah, reminds of (old) Apple products. Had they copied Dell or other brands, they’d be able to fit 14″ in there.
I love the 3:2 aspect ratio though, its a shame to move to a widescreen.
