The cheaper version of the Cube i9 is has arrived, the iwork12. Like the iwork11 it’s the cheap Atom version of Cube’s Core M3 flagship. Not a lot as changed, gone is the Core M3 6Y30, replaced with a cheaper Atom X5 Z8300. The 128GB SSD for storage is now a 64GB eMMC and the type-c port is a USB 2.0 port for charging and data. What we do gain is Android / Windows 10 dual boot and it...[Read More]
The two flagship Intel Core M3’s compared in this video comparison, the X3 Pro uses last years X2 Pro housing and keyboards. But it’s got an edge (pun intended) over the Cube i9 with its 8GB of RAM, Stylus support and Wireless AC. Speed wise they are very similar, the X3 Pro has slightly better scores in most benchmarks, but not all. The X3 Pro has slower SSD drive. And benchmarks aren...[Read More]
Beelink has recently released the BT7 Mini PC. It’s one of the more powerful Windows 10 Atom mini PC’s around as its packs an Atom X7 Z8700, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB eMMC with either a 64GB, 128GB or 320GB SSD drive. Note that this one is different as it has a small active fan in it and not just passive cooling. It was one of the downfalls of the last Voyo X7 Z8700 mini-PC I looked at, i...[Read More]
Vido is soon to release their first Core M tablet, featuring the new Core M3 6Y30 Skylake. It’s a 12.2″ 1920 x 1080 tablet with a keyboard/case style dock.

Yawn another 8″ X5 Z8300 Cherry Trail sub $100 tablet right? Well yes and no, this one is a little different. It’s the first 8-inch Chinese tablet with an OGS aka laminated display and a full sized USB 3.0 port. One that actually works in USB 3 mode and powers 2.5″ HDD’s. If you can get past the 1280 x 800 resolution screen this looks like it could be a decent little sub $1...[Read More]
Two days ago Chuwi released a new updated bios that fixes the powering off issue once lower than 40% battery. And the wifi disconnection issue (Never experienced this one myself). I’ve managed to get my Hi12 down to 3% without random any powering off so it would seem the issue is fixed. If I find any other issues I’ll be sure to report them as I continue to use the Hi12. My unit has be...[Read More]
Update 18th, Not just a new screen: The battery capacity has increased from 6800 mAH to 8000 mAH. Not doubt to counter that 2560 x 1600 display which has to drive more pixels which consumes more power. Details have leaked out on Taobao / Tmall now about an updated Chuwi HiBook. It’s a HiBook with a better screen, and that’s it. Called the HiBook Pro, the 1920 x 1200 screen has been rep...[Read More]

Banggood’s Stylus for the Hi12 turned out to be the real deal, the official Chuwi HiPen. I’ve just tested it out briefly in the below unboxing and test video. The stylus looks exactly like the Teclast X3 Pro one. Same build, just missing the logo but it must run on other frequency which is why it didn’t work on the Hi12. I can also confirm that it works on my Cube iwork10 Ultimat...[Read More]
