Design
The Xbook Has a Different Design Philosophy Compared to Most of Its Rivals. It Uses Silver-Colored Plastic Throughout, with a Brushed Metal Finish, and Reminds Us of the Netbooks of Yesteryear. That’s Especially True When Peering at the (Thin) Bezels Surrounding the 14.1-Inch Full Hd Ips Display. Some Might Find It Tacky, We Find It Cheap and Refreshing.

The Competition
There’s No Real Competition for the Xbook; Somehow, Kuu and Gearbest Have Managed to Eek out a Real Bargain. the Next Cheapest Rival on the Market at the Time of Writing Is the Yepo 737A8 from Banggood; It Has a Different, More Traditional Design a La Apple Macbook Air but a Worse Processor (The N4100) and a Smaller 13.3-Inch Screen but It Has a Type-C Connector.
Final Verdict
Putting Aside the Marmite Design That Will Divide Opinions, There’s Much to Like About Kuu’s Xbook. We’re a Sucker for Deals and This Is a Mighty Good One Even If the Price Goes Back to Normal.
