 Hey guys, if you're on the lookout for a high spec Windows laptop on a budget, then there's not that many options out there unless you're willing to spend a lot of money. I'm talking about the $800, $1,000 and beyond price points. This is why I wanted to introduce this brand to you today. This is the Chewy Corebook X. It's from a site called hecka.com where you can buy this laptop, many other laptops and a whole bunch of tech and retail items at a very discounted price. Now just to show you guys the laptop I have, I'm just going to show you some of the key specifications but this Corebook X comes in at $550 but you can use my code in the description to get a discount not only on this laptop but any other item across the hecka.com website that's over $30. Get a discount, check it out. I've got the link and the detailed information in the description down below. So let's take a deep dive into various different categories of reviewing this laptop. I'll have them all chatted down in the timeline below and let's get straight into In terms of the design of the Corebook X, it has this sleek space grade design all around made of metal alloy and plastic chassis. The weight of the laptop is 1.5 kilograms so although it's not the lightest it's still easy to take with you anywhere. On the left hand side you have the AC adapter, USB-C ports and on the right hand side you have a single traditional USB port, a headphone port and further down a micro SD card slot which is great if like myself you like transferring videos from your recordings directly onto your laptop with the SD card. There's an integrated webcam in the bezel at the top which is a lower 720p camera so although it's not HD this is one of the places where costs are cut to make this laptop budget friendly. There are two stereo speakers at the bottom they can actually play relatively loud at around 83 decibels but I would say the linearity of the base is quite average and I would still recommend using bluetooth headphones for listening to music or watching videos with this laptop and here's an example of the audio. The setup was quick easy and straightforward it took no more than five minutes to get up and running with windows pre-installed. The first thing I did was install and set up an antivirus kit and microsoft office with the installation taking no more than 10 minutes for both. The screen is actually a high quality panel with deeper contrast, brighter backlight and wider colors than most other laptops in this budget price range. You have very minimal five millimeter bezels with edge-to-edge glass the screen brightness maxes out at 355 lumens so for most indoor usage that is actually very bright but it's worth noting that outdoor visibility is limited since the glossy screen contributes to the heavy glare so the backlight isn't bright enough to overcome outdoor lighting which would be the case for most laptops with glossy screens. The colors on the screen cover all of the sRGB standards which is pretty impressive for a budget laptop of this price. In terms of the keyboard I was pleasantly surprised the feedback of the keys is crisper and stronger than on most other ultrabooks which give a more satisfying typing experience. One thing to note is that the right shift key is reduced in size to make room for full-sized arrow keys which have been problematic in other laptops in the past so that's something I would be fine getting used to but overall I would say it has a clean and minimal aesthetic. The keyboard also comes with two stage backlighting it's not too bright but good enough to help you see what you're typing when it's dark. The touchpad is quite roomy it's 12 by 7.9 centimeters and it has a firm and noticeably louder feedback when clicking. There are multiple gestures that you can make on the touchpad which are pretty responsive as you should expect. When they say this laptop has all day battery I found it lives up to that claim. Out of the box it features an eight hour battery which is adopted by a 46.2 watt hour high capacity lithium-ion battery and it uses great system level power management to make the laptop last longer no matter what you're using it for. Productivity wise I have absolutely no problems using this for work browsing the internet checking emails taking calls etc. With the 16 gigabyte RAM it makes multitasking so much smoother and you don't need to worry about the system lagging if you have too many chrome browser tabs open for example it should absolutely be fine. Likewise connecting it to my ultra wide monitor using the USB-C port was just as simple as plug-and-play and I had no issues with lag or response times but one thing I wanted to test out is the gaming capability just so I can really test the laptop to its limits. I downloaded Asphalt 9 from the Microsoft Store and although this laptop doesn't come with any dedicated graphics card for gaming the inbuilt iris plus 655 graphics does a decent enough job whereby the Asphalt 9 ran pretty smooth without any lag or frame drops on medium to high settings so I would say that if you wanted to play games on this laptop you would be absolutely fine to do so as long as you set it to medium settings and no more than 100 frames per second. After having used this laptop for a while I don't have any real complaints with it in terms of performance for this price point. My final thoughts is for $550 or £410 in the UK this is an excellent buy. I think this is far more valuable for the money than all of the competition brands that you guys are all aware of that have very similar specs and for the 3x2 aspect ratio screen I think that just works perfectly for people that work from home people that use laptops in the office or even students and when you pair that with the tactile keyboard this makes it the ideal laptop for all of your work and productivity needs so check it out the link to the hecka.com website for this laptop and their main website is all down below I've got the discount code there as well if you have any thoughts feedback or questions make sure to ask them down in the comments I'll try to help you as much as I can new videos are every week make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out any cool gadgets just like this and I will catch you guys next time take care
