$200 CHUWI LarkBox X gets Processor N100 option
Initially launched with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700U mobile processor last year, the CHUWI LarkBox X mini PC is now available with an Intel Processor N100 Alder Lake-N CPU and sold on Amazon for $199.
The mini PC also got its RAM bumped from 8GB DDR4 to 12GB RAM, and its storage capacity has been doubled with 512GB NVMe SSD. The rest of the specifications look to be identical with triple 4K display support, two Ethernet ports, WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2, as well as four USB 3.0 ports.
CHUWI LarkBox X (2023) preliminary specifications:
The specifications are still preliminary since CHUWI has not fully updated the Amazon page with the Procesor N100, and there are still many references to the AMD Ryzen 7 model. All user reviews on Amazon are for the old model at this time. That's why I’m not entirely sure whether the two Ethernet ports are 2.5Gbps or gigabit Ethernet ports. We’re told the mini PC ships with Windows 11, but also supports Windows 10, Ubuntu, and other Linux distributions.
Note that while the Intel Processor N100 is a more recent processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700U will be faster, especially for muli-threaded tasks. It shows in the price with the CHUWI LarkBox X (Processor N100) selling for about half the price ($199 vs $399) than last year's model with the Ryzen 7 processor despite having more RAM and storage.
