Daniel one of our readers has posted a first hands-on user review of the Lapbook Pro from Chuwi. It’s very similar in spec to the Lapbook SE. But it gives up on of the two USB 3.0 ports in favour of a Type-C USB 3.0 port with power delivery support. The other change is the screen, it’s even slimmer the bezels on the sides and top. The screen is 14.1″ and a fully laminated 1080p I...[Read More]
Just before I left to China I received the Herobook, and I never bothered with an unboxing video of it. Why? Well, it might be cheap, but it’s really so outdated in many areas it’s not really worth my time creating a hands-on video of it. So where do I start? How about a dull TN panel with terrible viewing angles and only a 1366 x 768 resolution in 2019? This is one of the worst screen...[Read More]
After reaching their stretch goal on Indiegogo, Chuwi’s crowd-funded Aerobook a13.3″ laptop has been updated to now included a full spec type-C port. So this means, power, data and video output. A move which I’m sure most will be happy with, I hope there will now be a new stretch goal to include at least the Core M3-7Y30 or better yet the Core M3-8100Y? (Chuwi?) But the Core M3 6...[Read More]

Update 20th Feb: Due to Chuwi reaching one of their crowdfunded goals the Ubook’s type-cover style keyboard has been upgraded to a wider backlit keyboard with 15-20% larger keys. So it has a narrow bezel and better travel on the keys however the touchpad looks a bit shorter now. You can see the difference below from the old design to the new improved one. Not only that the new keyboard will...[Read More]

Chuwi’s Hi9 Plus Android tablet recently received a huge 1GB ROM update, it’s basically a completely new ROM. This addresses the performance issues which affected the first release ROM & batch. With this new update, the performance has improved greatly (within the limits of the Helio X27 chipset) everything feels a bit smoother and responsive. However, the touch and stylus issues r...[Read More]
Now I’m not sure if this is the final spec of the Chuwi Lapbook Pro, a laptop that should have been released some time ago already. It’s very similar to the Chuwi Lapbook SE, the same specs with the same weakness, only 4GB of RAM. I was hoping there was an 8GB RAM release coming of this one. Maybe that’s not happening now as this official placeholder with all of the press info co...[Read More]
Just a heads up if you missed the video review on YouTube or you want a brief write up on the Hi9 Plus. Well, here it is the Chuwi Hi9 Plus written review, video review and rating is online. This tablet with a better chipset or greatly optimised ROM could make one of the better Android Chinese tablets seen this year. There are many points it covers so well where most typically fail. Better speaker...[Read More]
Update #3: It’s the Surbook Pro, I posted on this months ago but we heard no more on it from Chuwi. It has 12″ Surface Pro 3 screen. 8GB of RAM and yes it has an M.2 SSD hatch on the back. It’s all covered in this hands-on video of the prototype. It’s going to be an Indiegogo crowdfunded tablet. Thanks, adskan for jogging my memory Chuwi had us believe it was a laptop at fi...[Read More]
My Chuwi Hi9 Plus arrived today with the keyboard and HiPen H3 Stylus. This is a $189 Android 8.0 tablet with yet another 4G dual SIM + MediaTek Helio chip in it. This one has the Helio X27, it’s got 10 cores which might seem like it’s crazy powerful but really it’s quite average. An Antutu score of around 100,000 and storage that can do a modest 144 MB/s reads and 75 MB/s writes...[Read More]
Jumper has yet another laptop that has only just released in China. The EZBook S4 which looks a bit like the EZBook 3 is an Intel Celeron N4100 laptop with 4 to 8GB of RAM. It’s got a 14.1″ 1080p panel. It’s listed as an IPS, hopefully not another TN panel like the first EZBook X4 models. What makes this model interesting is it has the 8GB RAM where the Lapbook SE, EZbook X4, and...[Read More]
