Score: 73/100
CHUWI MiniBook X
Score: 78/100Rankings

The CHUWI MiniBook X is a sub-$500 2-in-1 that excels in portability, display quality and connectivity, but its low-power CPU and modest battery keep it from handling demanding workloads.
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.
