Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard Photos (Updated 27th)

Edit: The trackpad is now white and my Aliexpress seller has added pictures of the final model, including the grey one. White keys and trackpad, I would have preferred black keys and a black trackpad as later the white shows the dirt more! Final build: So here is the final design of the Chuwi Hi12 keyboard as pictured. It’s a Transformer Book style dock with 2 x USB 2.0 ports and a rather la...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi10 Air. New Model With Metal Body, Type-C And 3G

Chuwi have an updated Hi10 model in the works, a new more premium model. No word on the specs of this one yet, but I can see USB type-c port, new speakers left and right. And a new metal unibody housing with a 3G or 4G modem since it’s called “air” and you can see a sim slot in the photos. More info on this model once Chuwi officially announce it. It’s due for release in Ap...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Review Video

So I decided to create a full video review of the Chuwi Hi12. Also included in this one is a size, screen and sound comparison test versus the Chuwi Hi10, Teclast X98 Air III and Surface Pro 4 which might be of interest. I’ve also (finally) received my Chuwi Hi8 Pro. Unboxing clip of that to follow tomorrow.  

Chuwi Hi12 Review Now Online

Just finished my Chuwi Hi12 Review, if you’re thinking about this model I recommend you have a good look over the review and the included hands-on videos. Being an Atom X5 Z8300 with 4GB of RAM we know it’s no beast, but it performs quite well for the hardware it has. Good eMMC speeds no doubt help and overall I’ve enjoyed using and reviewing this tablet over the last eight days....[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 – Benchmarks, Screen And Thoughts So Far

After my unboxing and first hands on with the Chuwi Hi12 I felt the screen brightness just wasn’t enough on the 2160 x 1440 Samsung PLS panel, nothing like how I remembered it to be on my Surface Pro 3. Luckily the brightness being dimmed a little was due to Intel’s graphics power saving settings. Disabling it pushes the max brightness now to just over 302 cd/m2 which is better. I also...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Unboxing and First Impressions

Didn’t expect this on to arrive until after Chinese Spring festival and New Years. My Chuwi Hi12 arrived today, it’s Chuwi’s new large 12: tablet and the first tablet outside of Microsoft to use the 12″ 2160 x 1440 screen the Surface Pro 3 uses. What’s special about the panel? Well its a 3:2 ratio panel, has a 2160 x 1440 res and 216 PPI. So looks sharp. I got this un...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 2160 x 1440p Atom X5 Tablet Now in Stock At BG

The first non-Microsoft tablet to ship with the Surface Pro 3’s panel, the Chuwi Hi12 is now in stock at Banggood.com according to an email I just received. Normally BG is very good with stock levels and shipping times. So they claim it ships in 4-7 working days. Must be due to Chinese Spring Festival delays. It’s only the gold version for now and the price is a little more than I expe...[Read More]

Four 8″ Cherry Trail Atom X5 Z8300 Tablets Compared

In this video comparison, I compared the Chuwi Vi8 Plus, Cube iwork8 Ultimate, Teclast X80 Plus and Onda v820W CH. These tablets are very similar spec wise they all have the same resolution screen, 1280 x 800. They have the same eMMC size (32GB), 2GB of Ram and Atom X5 Z8300 CPU. But which one is the best? Some key differences & findings: All four tablets more or less perform the same in bench...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi10 Bios Update Bug Fix

Chuwi today has posted a new bios update  for the 64bit version of the Hi10. Using Google translate, it looks like it fixes issues with MicroSD card class 10 or higher and bios splash screen? I think that might be the screen flicker reported on the first release batch? Only serial numbers HI10 64G42151105000 or higher should flash it, and I personally I wouldn’t flash this if you don’t...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Twitter Launch Event (Updated)

Update 28th: Nothing we didn’t already know from the Twitter posts. The unit is up for sale for $299, but we know GearBest has it for $50 less so really it’s $250. Maybe the $299 is Chuwi’s Amazon USA price? (Chuwi are now selling in the US via Amazon) It’s safe to say it was just a little publicity stunt to get some Twitter followers on their new account. In a first for a ...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi10 and Onda oBook Reviews Online

My review of the Hi10 is finally done, in between order issues, getting it late from sellers and flying back to New Zealand it took me a while longer to review this one. I did wait for the second batch that had Windows 10 64bit too. So this was another reason for the delay. But my time with the Hi10 has been good, and I’m glad to say it’s a worthy upgrade over the popular Vi10 despite ...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Stylus, Black (Basic) Version and Release Date

Chuwi’s new 2160 x 1440 Surface Pro 3 screen tablet the Hi12 is also coming in dark grey I found looking online today (Nice move Chuwi) I was a bit disappointed in the earlier press images of the Hi12 in white & gold. I don’t mind white, but I think black looks more professional and less iPad Pro clone to me. Online retailer GearBest has the release date set as the 28th of January,...[Read More]
