Laptops CoreBook X

After this scandal of epic proportions, I think all the unfortunate buyers of this “good laptop” with a promising price-quality ratio.

I believe that the first and minimum thing is that they provide us with the unaltered BIOS file of the CPU that our laptop actually uses.

The five-year-old Ryzen 5 5500U, based on the Zen 2 architecture, has serious vulnerabilities and exploits that need to be patched, such as “Zenbleed”, “Microcode Signature Verification”, “Sinkclose”.

Of course I’ve made contact. I’m writing this here so users can see it…in case they haven’t seen the news yet.

It’s been 3 days and Chuwi hasn’t responded to me.

He’s asking about a device that’s out of support; I hope you’ll let me know if you get a response.

On 03/13 they answered me, only asking me for the purchase date and the order number.
Today this statement came out from CHUWI: https://blog.chuwi.com/statement-regarding-corebook-x-and-corebook-plus/
The deadline for returns is May 31 2026.

It seems you’ve made a mistake: Valid period: From now until May 31, 2026

Yes, I didn’t look closely, sorry!

Overall, I’m satisfied with this laptop, with the 5500U processor. I just wish it didn’t have any fake names… And had adequate support.
