Chuwi has released the full specs on the Hi12, and some more photos of the unit. It’s shaping up to be a very interesting tablet, metal unibody, full sized USB ports, keyboard dock and that screen. It will be released first with Windows 10 and later as a dual boot with Windows and Android.
Previously thought to have a 1920 x 1200 screen, the Hi12 will, in fact have a Surface Pro 3 2160 x 1440 3:2 ratio screen in it. So it would seem the old Surface Pro 3 screen isn’t exclusive to Microsoft anymore so we might start seeing a more tablets with this great screen in the future.
Updated 12th Jan : Here are some official images of the tablet, Chuwi is calling it a combination of
Being a larger 12″ 2-in-1 tablet, Chuwi will have a lot more room now to offer a full sized keyboard and larger touchpad, which should improve the typing experience over the smaller Vi10 and Hi10 keyboard docks. But no photo’s of the Hi12 dock yet. But judging from the images it will dock like the Hi10’s keyboard offering more than just one fixed angle.
Gearbest has it listed on alert. ETA is the 20th approximately.

I hope Chuwi plan to release a Vi12 or Hi12 Pro version with the X5 Z8500 or even better a Skylake Core M3-6Y30. Now that would be one hell of a tablet.
Now I want to see a 2160 x 1440 12″ Core M3, Wireless AC touting tablet from one of the manufacturers this year. Things are only getting better as the Shenzhen tech companies continue to push hard with new models. Oh, by the way, Happy new year!
