Chuwi's budget LapBook Air is now up for preorder

Chuwi, a company known for its budget range of laptops and tablets, has added another entry to its lineup. The new LapBook Air, which borrows a little inspiration from a certain fruit company, is now available for preorder starting at $429.

In terms of specs, the LapBook Air likely won't blow anyone's socks off, but it's not meant to. The laptop is powered by an Intel Celeron N3450 processor at a base clock rate of 1.1GHz. THat's backed up by 8GB of DDR3 RAM and 128GB of storage. A single 2MP webcam is on board as well, sitting just above the 14.1-inch 1080p IPS display.

In terms of connectivity, Chuwi says the LapBook Air packs an SD card slot, two USB 3.0 ports, a single micro HDMI port, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

If you just need a simple, budget laptop to browse the web and do some word processing, the LapBook Air could prove interesting. Chuwi says the laptop's standard price comes in at $429, but it's currently listed on Amazon U.S. for $459. You can also enter to get a $50 off coupon for the LapBook Air at Chuwi's website.
