$449 gets CHUWI's new Unibook with Intel's Wildcat Lake-based Core 3 304, making it one of the first Core Series 3 laptops to reach retail.
The 14-inch Windows 11 Pro notebook pairs 8GB LPDDR5X memory and a 256GB SSD with a 53.38Wh battery, matching the MacBook Neo's memory and storage at a 25% lower price.
CHUWI is pitching hardware extras over Apple's $599 rival, including three USB-A ports, dual USB-C, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, a Micro SD slot and a backlit keyboard.
The Core 3 304 is an entry-level 5-core, 5-thread chip with boost clocks up to 4.3 GHz and a single Xe3 iGPU, positioning the Unibook for everyday work rather than serious gaming.
The release adds momentum to Intel's Wildcat Lake rollout, with vendors using lower pricing, larger batteries and broader I/O to challenge Apple's new budget laptop.
After a major CPU scandal, can CHUWI's $449 laptop be trusted to challenge Apple's new MacBook Neo?
Is Intel's new hybrid chip a budget game-changer or a performance bottleneck against Apple's A18 Pro silicon?
