The key selling point is the dual-screen design, featuring a primary 16-inch 1920×1200 display atop a secondary 14.1-inch 3840×1110 touchscreen (both IPS) that automatically deploys when you open the laptop. Beneath that is a standard keyboard with a touchpad to the right. The laptop comes configured with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD, with two SODIMMs and two M.2 2280 SSD slots in total. Connectivity technologies are slightly behind the curve, featuring Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2.
The NBook Fly includes one USB Type-C port, three USB 3.0 ports (likely Type-A), one HDMI port, a 3.5mm jack for audio, and an RJ45 (1,000 Mbps) Ethernet port. Charging is handled by a barrel port, as seen in several user reviews. The battery is rated at 58Wh, which should be enough for at least a few hours of use.
In short, while it’s interesting, this laptop doesn’t have much going for it apart from the dual-screen display. Giving credit where it’s due, the NBook Fly is still significantly more affordable than dual-screen equivalents from Lenovo or Asus. Be aware that not every review of the NBook Fly has been positive, with several users reporting issues related to the screens.
If you subtract the dual-screen design from the equation, there are many better options available locally with modern-day Ryzen AI 300/200 or Core Ultra 200 processors, which are far better in most respects than the Xeon you’re getting here. Some laptops in this price range even include a dedicated GPU. If you’re after battery life, consider laptops with Intel’s Lunar Lake, which are often available under the $1,000 price point, or maybe get a MacBook if that suits your needs.
