After using it as my primary computer for two weeks, I found it to be a surprisingly capable machine for basic tasks.
It has clear limitations, but it offers a practical alternative for students and professionals who need long battery life and everyday performance.
Design and Build Quality
The Primebook 2 Max looks like a typical laptop, weighing 1.61 kg and measuring 20mm thick.
The plastic chassis feels sturdy for the price, with minimal flex when typing.
The matte Chill Grey finish looks clean, though the review unit had a small scratch near the logo.

The hinge allows a full 180-degree opening, but you can't open the lid one-handed as the base lifts.
A 1440p webcam sits in the top notch, offering good video call quality and a physical privacy shutter.
Display and Keyboard
The 15.6-inch IPS LCD screen has a Full HD resolution and a matte anti-glare finish.
Colors cover 45% of NTSC, which is fine for everyday use, but brightness maxes out at 250 nits, making outdoor visibility poor.
The keyboard is a highlight: full-sized with a number pad, backlit, and comfortable to type on. The function row has Android-specific shortcuts that are handy once you adjust.

The trackpad is large and smooth, but the pointer feels slightly sluggish, which might be a software issue that could be fixed in an update.
Connectivity includes USB-C (data/OTG), USB-A ports, a microSD slot, and a dedicated charging port.
It lacks DisplayPort output and Quick Share, but has GPS and a gyroscope for mobile apps.
Performance is driven by the Helio G99 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which handles everyday tasks well.
Battery life is impressive, lasting through a full day of use.
Overall, the Primebook 2 Max is a solid budget option for those who want a laptop for web browsing, document editing, and media consumption.
