CHUWI CoreBook Air Plus 16 Review – Part 3: Ubuntu 25.10 on a Mid-Range AMD Ryzen 5 6600H Laptop
The CHUWI CoreBook Air Plus 16 was tested with Ubuntu 25.10 on an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H platform. Installation succeeded with 25.10 after the Ubuntu 26.04 daily image failed to launch its installer. Benchmarks show a single‑core Geekbench score of 1,917 and a multi‑core score of 7,802, while SSD and Wi‑Fi 6 throughput match Windows results. Battery life exceeds four hours thanks to lower Linux idle power, though the laptop throttles at around 95 °C under sustained load and internal speakers remain non‑functional.
