Score: 73/100Chuwi CoreBook X 14-inch
Score: 80/100Rankings
The CHUWI CoreBook X offers a premium-look aluminum build, a sharp QHD display and upgradable memory at a budget price, but suffers from weak Wi-Fi, modest battery life and an under-performing trackpad.
The 2014 11.6-inch MacBook Air is an ultra-light ultraportable with solid battery life and fast SSD performance, but its low-resolution screen, limited ports and non-upgradable components make it less suitable for demanding modern use.
