This one got my attention, it looks a lot like GPD Win2 I reviewed, however, it’s got so much more going for it this Netbook One Mix 2S. It’s one of the first Chinese laptops to get the new Intel Core M3-8100Y the successor to the Core M3-7Y30, it’s an 8th Gen chip with a max turbo of 3.4Ghz when thermals allow it to turbo that high. It has 8GB of RAM, 256GB PCIe SSD, 1920 x 1200...[Read More]
The Chuwi Hipad review has been posted, it’s a $130 budget Helio X27 tablet with a decent 430 lux bright fully laminated 1920 x 1200 IPS screen. It’s got only 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. And the MediaTek Helio X27 chipset, one I’ve covered before in the Teclast T20 isn’t performing as expected. Sadly my unit has some poor performance, lag in the UI and even touch input ...[Read More]
Below is the video review of the Chuwi HiPad, sadly this MediaTek Helio X27 tablet turned out worse than expected with poor performance, touch input lag. Yet another case of the Helio X20 series performing poorly. The cause is either poor software optimization, not enough or not fast enough RAM. Or it has thermal throttling on the 10 core chip causing this slow choppy performance. (Which may or ma...[Read More]
Chuwi HiPad review with unboxing.
The 11.11 sales are over however some retailers are still pushing out some great deals (And will be for some time). Take for example this one, it’s really good. A Snapdragon 845 flagship mobile that’s normally $309 (already a great price) is now $289 for a limited time at Gearbest. And it’s seriously the best phone for the price you’ll find anywhere. Not only do you get a t...[Read More]

Another new coupon is out for the Chuwi Lapbook SE, this is the latest Gemini Lake laptop from Chuwi and my current chosen best budget laptop, I’ve taken mine to New Zealand with me and it’s still running great. It has a great fully laminated display, the best keyboard I’ve used on a budget laptop and it’s backlit. With a few tweaks like installing the OS on the installed S...[Read More]
I bought the 128GB SSD version. It’s okay from a usability standpoint but after 3 months the SSD dies and all i get is “Cannot find required map name”. Went into the bios and it couldn’t even detect the SSD. Sent to a repair guy and he said the SSD unsalvageable. I took care of the computer immaculately and it barely left my desk. Now I’m not sure if replacing the ssd...[Read More]
