Thanks for getting this review out Chris. I've been waiting for it to be honest. Kept seeing some interesting deals on the Bmax Y11 but I wasn't sure how it'd stack up. Hearing that they are still using the same design as the past few years is a real bummer though. I was hoping for something a tad more up to date. I guess I'll hold off a bit longer for something perhaps a bit better in 2022. I don't even use these as main drivers or so, I'm just a bit obsessed with finding a cheap and moderately powerful laptop so I can mess about with old games and emulation...

Chuwi Larkbook pro or the new Chuwi Freebook I think is the way to go so far, but they aren't perfect. My pick is the Larkbook X so far, Chuwi has stepped up the build quality recently. And they still go with very good screens for the price.

I own the previous version, the BMAX Y11 (not plus) with Celeron 4120, and I'm considering this processor upgrade, which brings around 50% single core improvement. This product should be analyzed from the point of view of its price point and intended use. It is by no means a gaming device, there is no point in even trying. What it is good at is (i) being extremely portable (ii) being fan-less (iii) having a very nice Full HD IPS touch screen display (iv) being a convertible which you can use as a tablet, specially considering how small it is, and (v) doing all this for a really modest price. The camera position is bad when using as a laptop, but since it is a convertible, you can flip the device around for a call. The non laminated screen is not bad at all, and I wouldn't even notice if not mentioned here. The keyboard typing is excellent for the size. This is a device meant for light Word/Excel/Powerpoint use, web browsing and checking emails. For that tasks, it is an excellent device. The battery is small, but you can use Windows in battery saver mode (less performance, still good for the tasks I described), and have about 2x the battery life. Another great point is that you charge it with USB Type C universal chargers, so you don't have to carry any proprietary chargers around. It may even charge from a smartphone charger.

Ah.. I wish I waited a few more days before ordering it. Was hoping to find a video review for it first, but I just needed a tiny laptop/windows tablet and the price tag and specs were tempting.. I ordered it a little over 2 weeks ago, and it just arrived. I really like it, for now, I don't mind the camera or the near invisible letters on the keyboard (and the size is OK for my tiny hands). If you got to open its back cover, do you think it would be possible to upgrade it? Is the RAM upgradeable at all? And the battery.... I thought that 7000mah was pretty decent, but it gives me an estimate of 3.5 hours, on power save mode 😖

I expected about 5 hours at least like the previous version but for some reason it’s a lot less maybe due to my screen brightness. The only way to get that kinda battery life would be only watching a video, lowest brightness and in flight mode even then I doubt it.

Thanks for the review Chris. It is sad that not much difference between this and the Y11. I still like the form factor - but yeah the screen is dated for 2022. I do understand about the bezel tho - if you want to hold it like a PADD it will not affect the screen. But I think I can use my current Y11 for a few more years then.
