Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 25000 Hz | ≤ 20 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 20 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8743 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

Pros
Cons
The XIDU PhilBook Max is currently available for around 400 euros. It comes with a 14.1 inch convertible with a neat case, practical input devices and the most important interfaces. But the two big weaknesses are the display and the performance. Although it is an IPS screen with an actually decent picture impression, the brightness is very low. Together with the reflective screen surface, it is hardly possible to use it in bright rooms or even outdoors.
It is also important to be clear when it comes to performance that the planned tasks must not be too demanding. When updating or installing, the device is fully loaded, so you can forget about multitasking.
Low performance and dark display: The PhilBook Max offers some positive features, but performance is often the limiting factor. Here the competition simply offers more.
The price is still too high in our opinion, at just over 400 Euros. Especially from Chuwi there are better offers in this segment or even for less money.
