Chuwi MiniBook X 2-in-1 10.5 (2024)

If you are shopping on a tight budget this is a really cool laptop to get. It's super tiny, almost the size of an iPad. Very easy to fit in a bag. And its keyboard is as large as you'll get for a device this size. This makes it actually very usable.

Compared to other super cheap laptops we've tested, this one is far better. Most of those suffer from poor performance due to a woefully slow processor, limiting amounts of memory, and slow eMMC storage. All 3 of those issues are resolved here. This certainly isn't as fast as machines that cost $500 or more, but its fast enough for web browsing and studying. It also is compatible out of the box with Linux.
