[2k = 1080p]

2k is 1080p. If you're referring to 1440p, it closer to 2.5k. Please stop using the 2k incorrectly.

1440p is NOT 2K. Stop calling 1440p 2k. 2k is an actual standard that is slightly larger than 1080p / HD. It is a cinema format of 2048x1080.

They didn't replace the right ctrl with the copilot button...  I like it!

,,2K" just means around 2000 pixels horizontally. 2048x1080 is ,,DCI 2K", not just ,,2K"

like we have ,,DCI 4K" and ,,4K UHD"

2160x1440 fits horizontal definition. 2560x1440 doesn't.


Yes it is used wrongly in article to differentiate it from 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 screens (which also both fit into 2K family)

A very good review indeed. However, there is fatal flaw that needs to be addressed ASAP.

I need to point a SCAM from Chuwi here that I fell for it and unfortunately so did the reviewer. The laptop is advertised as having a Ryzen 5 7430U CPU. However if you notice the picture that was uploaded from CPU-Z the specs match the specifications of a ryzen 5 5500u and not a 7430u (code name: Lucienne, Ext. Family 17, Ext. Model 68, Cache Level 3 2 x 4MB). So pretty much Chuwi rebranded a 5500u to a 7430u and called it a day. I guess that explains the slightly less performance from the CPU.
