Chuwi Minibook X: the netbook we deserve

The Chuwi Minibook X is a 10.5-inch budget laptop priced at $350 that successfully revives the netbook concept with modern specs including an Intel N150 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage. While it runs Linux well overall, the main quirk is that the screen is mounted sideways, requiring kernel parameter tweaks across multiple software layers to fix the 270° rotation issue. Despite its modest performance, the device impresses with its tiny 912-gram weight, sturdy build, solid battery life, and adequate cooling for everyday computing tasks.
