Apple MacBook Air 2020 13-inch
Score: 80/100
CHUWI MiniBook X
Score: 78/100Rankings
The 2020 MacBook Air delivers a premium, fanless design with an excellent Retina display and solid battery life, but its entry-level i3 processor and non-upgradable components limit performance for power users.
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.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Reviewers praised the refined design, Magic Keyboard and display, while cautioning that the i3 CPU makes it a marginal upgrade; they recommend an i5 or M1 model for better value.
Users love the portability, keyboard and display, but frequently mention the sluggish i3 performance and low-resolution webcam.
“Perfect for school and writing - lightweight and lasts all day.”
“The i3 is too slow when I have more than 10 Chrome tabs open.”
“Webcam is terrible in low light - looks grainy on Zoom.”
Reviewers commend the ultra-portable aluminum design, vibrant 2K display and dual Type-C ports, but warn that the N150's modest performance and average battery make it unsuitable for power users.
Users love the lightweight form factor, crisp touchscreen and 360° hinge, while complaining about limited battery life, fan noise and occasional Bluetooth quirks.
