CHUWI has opened pre-orders for its 18-inch GameBook Max, an announced gaming laptop with a 1920 x 1200, 144 Hz IPS display and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 mobile GPU. Prices start at $1,799 for a Core i7 configuration and $2,099 for the Core i9 model, before a stated launch discount of $50 to $100. Independent performance results, final configurations by market and delivery dates have not been provided.
CHUWI has opened pre-orders for the GameBook Max, an 18-inch gaming laptop pairing Intel’s Core i9-14900HX with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 mobile GPU in a configuration priced at $2,099. The company is also listing a lower-priced Core i7 version from $1,799, with both configurations featuring a 1920 x 1200 display rated at 144 Hz.
The GameBook Max uses an 18-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and a stated 144 Hz refresh rate. The large screen may suit people who want more display area without connecting an external monitor, while the resolution is below the 1440p and 4K panels found in some higher-end gaming laptops. CHUWI’s announcement gives the panel specifications but does not provide independent testing of brightness, color coverage or response time.
Buyers can choose between Intel’s Core i7-14650HX and Core i9-14900HX, both from the previous-generation Raptor Lake Refresh family, according to the announcement. Both configurations use an RTX 5060 mobile GPU with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. CHUWI’s listed starting prices are $1,799 for the Core i7 model and $2,099 for the Core i9 model. The announcement says a launch promotion may lower the price by $50 to $100, but does not specify which configurations qualify or how long the offer will run.
Memory and storage also vary by configuration: the lower tier is listed with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512 GB SSD, while the higher tier has 32 GB of DDR5 and a 1 TB SSD. The announcement does not spell out every processor, memory and storage combination available at each price. Listed connections include USB-C and USB-A ports, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.5-gigabit Ethernet.
CHUWI GameBook Max large screen, open questions
Pre-orders are open for an 18-inch gaming laptop with an RTX 5060. Announced specifications and prices are available, but independent performance results and a ship date are not.
What CHUWI lists
Both configurations pair an RTX 5060 mobile GPU with a 1920 × 1200 IPS display.
Lower-priced tier
Core i7-14650HX, 16 GB DDR5 memory and a 512 GB SSD are listed.
Higher-priced tier
Core i9-14900HX, 32 GB DDR5 memory and a 1 TB SSD are listed.
RTX 5060 mobile
Both tiers are listed with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory.
The price gap
The listed starting prices differ by $300, alongside changes to processor, memory and storage.
The Core i7 tier starts at $1,799; the Core i9 tier starts at $2,099.
CHUWI mentions a $50 to $100 launch discount but does not specify eligibility or duration.
The complete component combinations at each price are not specified.
What the announcement establishes
- 18-inch, 1920 × 1200 IPS display
- 144 Hz stated refresh rate
- USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and Mini DisplayPort
- Independent gaming benchmarks
- GPU power limit and cooling performance
- Display brightness, color coverage and response time
Pre-orders without a ship date
The large, high-refresh screen may suit buyers who want more display area without an external monitor. The stated resolution is 1920 × 1200, and real game performance has not been independently tested.
A Large Screen at 1200p
The announcement positions the GameBook Max around a pairing of a large 18-inch screen and a midrange RTX 50-series mobile GPU, rather than a newly released processor platform or a higher-resolution panel. That combination could appeal to buyers who value screen size and a high refresh rate for gaming, while keeping the stated display resolution at 1920 x 1200.
The $2,099 Core i9 price also puts the laptop’s processor and GPU pairing in focus: the headline specification is a high-end Intel HX chip alongside an RTX 5060, not a higher-tier graphics processor. The $300 difference between the listed starting prices coincides with changes to the processor, memory and SSD capacity. Because CHUWI has not provided separate component pricing or performance testing, buyers cannot tell from the announcement how much of that difference reflects each upgrade or how the laptop will perform in specific games.

Previous-Generation Intel Inside
Although the GameBook Max is a newly announced product, its processors are not Intel’s latest generation. CHUWI is offering the Core i7-14650HX and Core i9-14900HX, chips from Intel’s Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, alongside the newer-branded RTX 5060 mobile GPU. The product therefore combines components from different generations rather than adopting a fully current processor platform.
CHUWI describes the RTX 5060 pairing as suitable for gaming at the laptop’s 1200p resolution and says NVIDIA DLSS can help improve image quality and performance in supported games. Those are manufacturer claims, not benchmark results supplied with the announcement. Actual frame rates depend on the game, graphics settings, power limits and cooling, and the announcement does not report measured results for the GameBook Max.
“Gamers “deserve” more room to play.”
— CHUWI
Pricing and Performance Still Open
The published prices are starting prices, and the announcement does not provide a complete regional price list or confirm how the $50 to $100 launch discount applies. It also does not give a release date, shipping schedule, warranty terms or availability by country. Buyers considering a pre-order may want to check the final checkout price and configuration details directly before purchase.
There are no independent tests of the laptop’s gaming performance, cooling, fan noise or battery life. CHUWI has not stated the RTX 5060’s power limit, which can affect performance between laptop models using the same GPU name. Display brightness, color coverage and response time are also unspecified. The announcement’s claims about ultra settings and DLSS should not be treated as verified results for this system.
Pre-Orders Await a Ship Date
CHUWI has started taking pre-orders, but has not announced when the GameBook Max will ship. The next useful details for prospective buyers would include confirmed delivery dates, full configuration options, the terms of the promotional discount and country-by-country availability.
Independent reviews and testing could establish how the laptop’s cooling system handles the Core i9-14900HX and RTX 5060, and whether the 144 Hz display and graphics performance meet expectations in actual games. Until those details are available, the announced specifications and prices describe CHUWI’s offer, not independently measured results.
