Confirmed, Latest Dual Boot Chuwi Hi12 Batch Is the Stylus Version.
Banggood has now confirmed that all the stock they sell off the Hi12 Dual SO version is the stylus enabled version with new the hardware required for stylus support. There was some confusion over this as it seemed some of older first dual OS models didn’t have the hardware needed for the stylus. But the new latest model does. (Lucky me that ordered a first dual boot version might not get the...[Read More]

New Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard Photos. Keyboard Still Not Shipping!
Searching the internet today, I found BetaNews has a hands-on article on the Chuwi Hi12, what’s interesting is they have the keyboard. Something that seems only some websites are lucky enough to get sent to them. Note that the touchpad is now grey in color and not white! But still the keys are still white, grey or black would be so much nicer looking. But still no word on when exactly this k...[Read More]

No idea if this model will have stylus support, but I’m crossing my fingers it does. Unless there ...[Read More]
Chuwi HiBook – Listing Shows USB 3.0 Type-C Spec
GearBest now has the Chuwi HiBook listed up for preorder as well as the keyboard dock. Interesting to note that the listing states the type-C port to be a USB 3.0 Type-C. As so far I’ve only seen USB 2 spec on the Chuwi Hi8 Pro, Vi8 Plus and Xiaomi Mi Pad 2. Another good thing is unlike the Hi10 which has yet to see Dual Boot, this HiBook will ship with Android 5.1 and Windows 10. The keyboa...[Read More]

Banggood has the Dual OS version of the Chuwi Hi12 now listed, with a process time of 6-9 working days. So it looks as if the Chuwi Hi12 Dual Boot version is only a few weeks away from shipping out. Will the keyboard ship out before? (It still hasn’t even shipped!) I’ve reviewed the Chuwi Hi12 Windows 10 only model and it’s one of the better tablets I’e seen this year so fa...[Read More]

Chuwi HiBook
Chuwi sent me these pictures of a new tablet in the works. No word on the spec, it looks super similar to the Chuwi Hi10 Air, which makes me wonder if this is the Air and it was renamed? I can see the type-c port, sim card slot and the left and right speakers. Still no reply from them about the rather major Hi8 Pro power issues which is rather annoying. And means I cannot complete my review of it....[Read More]
First Look At Chuwi Hi12 Internals From Tear Down
Edit: 1st Feb 2017. Thanks to Yoni for sending me these photos of the insides of the Hi12 keyboard dock. Thanks to Matthew from the Forum, we have our first look at the Chuwi Hi12 internals. I haven’t gotten around to opening up mine for a teardown with all the tablets I have stacked up to review. But we can see now and as I thought, Chuwi used a rather large thermal pad to transfer heat aw...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi8 Pro Battery & Power Issues? (Update)
Stay clear of the Hi8 Pro for now, many users including myself have powering on issues and battery calibration problems. And even some owners have reported the units dying completely in the forum. It was all smooth sailing for my Hi8 Pro, until it suddenly died on me with around 36% battery when running 3DMark. It powered on 3 times and off, finally reporting I had 2% battery. So I suddenly lost 3...[Read More]
