Update, for my Y13 I ordered the Teclast F6 Pro screen protector, its nice plastic glass, but too small, don’t bother to use it.

Can anyone recommend a glass/plastic-glass protector for the Y13?

Thanks Chris,

I got a No Brand Power Bank today, it works as well, I think it need the 12V 1.5 Amp setting, thou I have no way to measure it. That means the laptop deviates from USB-C standards, but it works, its a bit inconvenient to charge via Brick, but hey at least is works. Next goal is to find a HUB that would take any strong enough power…[Read more]

Hi there,

I also have a Chuwi Hi12 and the same part as in Anthony’s picture fried at mine as well. A second part also fried, which is marked with “CP5R” according to Anthony’s picture.

I was not able to find out which parts those are. I suspect the “CP5R” to be a voltage regulator from Ricoh (“CP” marking) but I did not find a clue that the…[Read more]

Nice little size and full spec type-c is good. But eMMC and not SSD right as it’s too small for it.

It’s shown here:

But my PowerAdd Power delivery power bank works well on my Y13. about 11.6W charge rate only according to Battery Bar Pro.

Overall very happy with my Y13 and I think I’ll keep it, it will replace my Aerobook which is faster but I prefer touch support. Also should…[Read more]

I understand your frustration. At the end I persuaded my Chinese friend to exchange her hub with mine, which was new, because I couldn’t make the laptop work with any other hub (I needed video out and five different hubs that I bought from amazon didn’t work). Maybe the easiest way is to ask to the Spanish youtuber about the exact model of the…[Read more]

My older Xiaomi MiAir 12.5 notebook could charge over usb-c but only using a charger supplying 20v @ 2.25a or higher. So I think this hit or miss experience with PD chargers could be down to various notebooks using different power delivery-states.

Most lower powered chargers only supply up to 12v @ 2a (24w), while laptops sometimes expect to be…[Read more]

It may seem so, I got a response form one whose PB works:”The powerbank must be power delivery compatible, and the usb c cable too.” Well I for sure have PD compatible USB-C chargers, but none works. I ordered now one with USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 as well as Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, will keep you updated if it works. If at least the power bank…[Read more]

I think there’s a big compatibility problem between USB type-c chargers/power banks/hubs and the USB type-c connector on some of these Chinese devices. Last year I bought a Teclast F6 pro and it will only work with one USB type-c hub bought in China, while another five of different makers will not work. A replacement unit of this laptop was…[Read more]

Thanks for your answer.

The restart can happened anytime, with or without the charger plugged.

By the way, my battery doesn’t hold 6 hours of use, it’s more between 3 and 4 hours. Ok, I often play online  game and I watch TV by internet every evening, but I have to plus the charger 2 or 3 times a day.

Yes, I didn’t found a better SSD so far…[Read more]

There is video on YouTube in spanish where someone is charging the Y13 form a Powerbank, and one more YouTube telling he is in deed powering his Y13 from a Xiaomi charger, but gave no details.

I do have a SamsungUSB C charger for my wireless charger that delivers 12v 2.1A as max, I tried it and it does not work either. Unplugging it even rebooted…[Read more]

Hi Ben,

The pro version of course has French , only single language windows versions have only 1 language.You can do that and you will have original drivers and a clean windows ,which i recommend debloating.But if you want to increase battery life, i advise you to read…[Read more]

I’m not sure this solves the problem, but I think the charger you use should actually support 12V over Power delivery. Generally the cable that is used should be USB-C to USB-C. If the port on your charger is USB-A (like with most Samsung chargers) or anything else except USB-C you can assume it does not support power delivery.

Also the 12V power…[Read more]

Hi. Sometimes my computer also restarts to BIOS, but mostly just when the battery is fully discharged. It also resets the boot order priority, when it selects another EFI boot entry, but I can just change that and it works.

Btw, I have the same SSD, I think it is the best we can buy now for our laptop.

I have the same problem with my Y13. That’s annoying, because USB-C charging was a reason to buy that thing!

Hello.

I have bought a second hand mi notebook pro with a installed French windows version. Laptop is really good but I can confirm battery endurance is rather short.

I have a windows pro licence on it, so I’d like to give a try to your method to install a factory image of chinese windows which is supposed to increase battery life.

Could you…[Read more]

I wonder when we will get the chance to buy and 2X1 cheap and perfect, backlid is great, large memory is great, strong cpu is great 12 or 13″ are great, 300 euros are great , but there are always somethings bad!

On the manufacturer site is a active stylus advertised, but I would not use any of those without a glass protector

Hello guys, I’m considering buying Y13. Can anyone tell me if you can use the pen on this touchscreen? Anyoned tried it?
I want to use it in businesss for both, writing notes and drawing sketches.

Hi Folks,

got my BMAX 13 yesterday, nice little fellow, only thing I’m looking for to buy is a glass screen protector, investigating now which on the market ones would fit the best 🙂

But I have one question to other owners, especially on the BMAX 13.3 – USB-C power delivery, and charge, is the USB-C charging working for anyone? The original…[Read more]
