My 9 year old loves this computer. It’s light, easy to use and travel with and he was able to save his own money to purchase.
Very simply this is a great 2n1 - If you are looking to do photoshop or gaming, go somewhere else.
Perfect for notetaking, youtube, movies, internet surfing. It is basically a great "Chromebook like" Notebook that can run full windows programs.
Pros: Small, Lightweight, the screen is great. The battery life is nice, daughter used it all school day without charging. The keyboard is decent, I have big hands and am using it to type this review, without issue. The touchscreen works well.
The hinge is GREAT, much better than expected. It feels solid and has a good mechanism. The screen does not flop when I the touch screen.
Cons: The keyboard does not auto shutoff when you flip it back, There is a switch on the side. While it is easy it would be much more seamless to have it auto-shutoff in tab mode. The webcam isn't great but passable. The touchpad is ok, but I hate windows gestures and due to there not being a dedicated touchpad driver I haven't found a good way to turn off the gestures.
What it comes down to is the Daughter loves this thing, she has officially stolen it from me. As long as you go into it with the proper expectation it will do you well.
Highly recommended for the right people, You'll know who you are.
NOTE: I have installed Rimworld and Seirra classics, those games work well. Note troubles.
I initially bought the Philbook for my wife last year as her old HP started to give problems. A little doubtful at first as I never heard of the supplier , but to my surprise it turned out to be the best purchase ever. My wife commutes with this little precious everywhere. My old laptop battery died and I too purchased a Philbook for myself as I need it for work.
This 2-1 works if you are looking for a light, sleek, compact tablet and laptop in 1 with more than enough power to process office 365, browsing internet and checking mails. The performance is pretty good and the battery lasts me about 5 hours on average while running programs. What puts the Philbook aside from the rest, is the price under $300. I love the fact that it is got a nice tough plastic built around it, felt other metal built 2-1s and its extremely heavy in weight. The sleek and thin design will attract people interests.The speaker could improve a little but with my wireless earbuds, its a dream. The Screen resolution is fantastic and and is represented in FULL High Definition ( This is hard to find for this price). Do not settle for less than FULL HD, I've seen the difference on excel programs with lower screen resolutions. Keyboard took me a couple of minutes to get use to, but once mastered you can type for days. The Philbook can rotate 360 degrees in any way as you like (Tent is my fav) .There is a switch on the side to disable the Keyboard once in tablet mode. Streaming videos is a easy and seamless and the quality will not be looked down upon. The Philbook comes with an 64 gig on board storage, I bought myself a Samsung EVO plus 128gb SD card for extra storage. I would highly recommend the Philbook to anyone who is on a tight budget but wants the same qualities and features of the bigger brands in terms of elegance, performance and loyalty. Oh yeah the service from Xidu agents are top notch. Their reply is immediate and the customer service really cares , which is a big deal for me.
The best of both worlds between a desire for a tablet and a desire for a laptop comes with the purchase of a 2-in-1 laptop. That way, you get the best of both! An example would include the touch screen feature of the tablet and the memory/keyboard feature of the laptop. The XIDU, 11.6 inch 2-in-1 is one such unit to consider.
1. It's ultra-light, 2.4 lbs.
2. It's compact with 11.6-inch screen and will nicely fit in a large purse or shoulder bag.
3. It's not expensive, less than $300.
4. It comes with Windows 10, a full-fledged operating system and not the Chromebook operating system (where most applications don’t reside on the unit itself but via the “cloud”.) as many of the cheaper notebooks have.
5. It comes with a beautiful screen with a higher than average resolution of 1920 x 1080, and although a tablet necessity, the provided touchscreen is really nice when used with the laptop
6. The XIDU 11.6 provides 5 -6 hours of convenient battery power, ideal for the road traveler who doesn't always have an available connection.
7. Its build quality is solid.
As 2-in-1 models go, you have 3 modes that you can perform:
1 Tent mode; great for a limited space. (PIC1)
2 Tablet mode (full 360-degree flip!), especially useful for reading, game-playing, and music listening. (PIC2)
3. and Laptop mode, the most useful, especially when performing keyboard input. (PIC3)
With its Quad-core Processor with 4GB RAM working power and 64GB storage capability (many provide only 16GB or 32 GB options), you will have ample power to cover your everyday uses, such as web surfing and streaming, email, word processing, gaming, and spreadsheets for business. To augment your storage capacity, you will have the pleasure of using the installed micro SD slot, where you can easily double your storage capacity. When it comes to major gaming and video editing, a more powerful laptop at a higher cost would provide better results. This is not saying that there are not games that can be played and picture editing that cannot be done.
Among other “ports”, including the micro SD reader are:
(Left – Right) ON/off switch, 1x Micro SD Card Reader,1x USB 3.0, 1x Headphone jack (PIC4)
(Left – Right) Power Jack, 1x USB 2.0, 1x Mini HDMI (PIC5)
Also, it comes with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (for those with dual-band routers -the laptop may not be able to recognize 5.0 GHz, but just the 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi band). A built-in 802.11ac wireless, however, would handle that, but when traveling, it wouldn’t make any difference anyhow.
Finally, the lasting value of any computer is to have a support staff to pull you through those temperamental rough spots that occur from time to time. As for the XIDU staff, my personal experience is that when you reach out to them, they will reach out to you. A simple email to them will be rewarded with a helpful quick response.
I just say, check it out for yourself. You won’t be sorry you did! I highly recommend the XIDU 11.6 2-in-1!
The XIDU PhilBook is small, lightweight, and responsive. I'm not sure how long the battery will last. So far it has lasted however many hours I've needed it while I was working on it. While "CUSTOMER SERVICE" may not be the best headline for a review of a NEW product, let me say that I don't know if the problem I had with my first PhilBook was a computer problem or an "Operator Head Space" problem. The bottom line is that either way, the CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM at XIDU was with me all the way through my problem and got it solved for me. I think I'm going to enjoy carrying my PhilBook around much better than toting my 17" screen laptop. Thank you once again to the Ladies and Gentlemen at XIDU for your prompt response and for hanging in there with me.
