Intel Mini Laptop 10.5" Touchscreen 2-in-1 Convertible

A tiny, travel-friendly Windows laptop with a great screen that's held back by a painfully slow processor. It's a one-trick pony, but if that trick is ultimate portability for light work, it's the only pony in town.

The 16GB of RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD are a pleasant surprise at this size and price, making the system feel snappy when you're just browsing or working on documents. But the N150 CPU is a real letdown. It sits in the 7th percentile of our database, which means it struggles with anything beyond the absolute basics. Don't even think about gaming, that score is a brutal 4.3 out of 100. The 1920x1280 IPS screen is a bright spot, offering a sharp and useful 3:2 aspect ratio that gives you more vertical space for reading and writing.

This ZWYING doesn't really compete with the heavy hitters like the Apple MacBook Air M5 or the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro, those are in a different universe of performance and build quality. Its real competition is a tablet with a keyboard or a high-end Chromebook. If you need Windows in a tiny package, this is it, but an iPad with a Magic Keyboard will run circles around it for smoothness and app availability. The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a dual-screen marvel that's far more powerful but also much larger and pricier.

Pricing for this thing is all over the map, with a wild spread from $470 to over $15,000 from different sellers. At the low end around $470, it's a fair deal for a hyper-portable Windows machine if you know exactly what you're getting into. At anything higher, it's a complete non-starter. Stick to the lower-priced listings and ignore the absurdly high ones.

This ZWYING mini laptop is a niche machine that absolutely nails the portability brief but stumbles hard on raw power. The one thing to know is that it's a fantastic travel companion for light tasks, but you're making a serious trade-off in performance for that tiny footprint. The 10.5-inch 360° touchscreen and sub-kilogram weight are genuinely impressive, but the Intel N150 processor inside is one of the slowest we've ever tested in a Windows machine.

If you're looking for a primary computer or need to run any demanding software, this isn't it. Go get a more traditional ultrabook like an HP OmniBook X Flip or a MacBook Air instead. This ZWYING is a secondary travel gadget, not a daily driver.

Buy this only if your number one, non-negotiable priority is having the smallest and lightest Windows 11 laptop possible for basic writing, email, and web browsing. For anyone else, the sluggish CPU and questionable reliability make it hard to recommend. You're better off with a more powerful, slightly larger ultrabook or a premium tablet for a similar price.
