Chuwi Vi8 Plus Benchmarks, Temps, Speaker Test and Type-C port
Hands-on video with the Chuwi Vi8 Plus, I ran through my usual benchmarks, tested out the speaker and type-c port. Sadly it seems the type-c port is only USB 2.0 spec and not USB 3.0. It will run my 1TB Toshiba basics 2.5″ HDD, but speeds are limited to 40mb’s. Considering the tablet doesn’t come with an adaptor and we aren’t getting anything over USB 2.0 speeds I’m n...[Read More]

Chuwi Hi12 Keyboard Pictured?
I’ve been searching high and low for an image of the dock for the up and coming Chuwi Hi12.

I recently tested out the new Chuwi Vi10 Ultimate, the upgraded Vi10 which the new Atom X5 Z8300 in it.
