With Black Friday only a day and bit away, Chuwi has already kicked off their Black Friday sale on tablets. Starting today (22nd) they have some discounted items till the 30th of November. The Black Friday Chuwi page is here on Aliexpress. One of the best deals is on the Hi10 Plus. It has a Surface 3 3:2 aspect ratio screen, Atom Z8350, 4GB RAM 64GB eMMC with Windows 10 and Remix OS 2.0 (Android 5...[Read More]
This is Chuwi’s first laptop from them, I’ve already looked at the EZbook Air, EZbook 2 and the LEPO 737S all Atom X5 Z8300 tablets. The YEPO review I canceled after discovering it uses a non-activated version of Windows 10 and no recovery partition making resetting it a nightmare. How the Chuwi HiBook here does have that issue. Below is my unboxing video: The LapBook comes in super Wh...[Read More]
Chuwi today posted a tweet with some interesting images of a new upcoming tablet. Judging from the images, I can see it has a Celeron N3450 which is a new Apollo Lake chip, 4GB of RAM and a 3000 x 2000 resolution making it a 3:2 aspect ratio screen. And in one photo it looks to be next to the Chuwi Hi12, clearing showing it’s a good inch or more larger. So it must have a Microsoft Surface Bo...[Read More]
My Chuwi Hi10 Plus review is online if you missed it on YouTube it’s below. My rating, listed pros and cons can be found here: Chuwi Hi10 Plus review. It’s not a bad 3:2 dual OS tablet, just not perfect. Missing full sized USB ports, the stylus isn’t pressure sensitive and the 3.5mm jack has some static. Besides this, it has a nice bright screen with ambient light sensor, good pe...[Read More]
Looking for any new release Chinese tablets, I noticed GearBest has a second listing for the Hi10 Plus (I’ve recently reviewed) there is a newer version coming with an Atom Z8350, this is marginally faster chip with a higher turbo of 1.92Ghz instead of the 1.84Ghz. It also has a few hardware changes Intel made with the newer Cherry Trail revision. It’s listed as $50 more for the newe...[Read More]
Maybe my last Z8300 tablet. I didn’t plan to review this one but I got a good number of requests so gave in. The highlight of the Chuwi Hi10 Plus is its 3:2 ratio Surface 3 screen, it’s decent panel while not super sharp like the fully laminated Hibook Pro, it is very bright over 430 lux when the ambient light sensor is disabled. At 1902 x 1280 is much easier on the Intel HD graphics w...[Read More]
So it seems Chuwi’s saw the success of the Jumper EZbook 2 and decided to create their own laptop, called the Chuwi Lapbook. This Atom X5 Z8300 powered notebook has 4GB of RAM, 64GB eMMC and runs Windows 10. It’s got a large 10,000 mAh battery, Wireless AC ,Bluetooth 4.0 and HDMI out. Sadly no Z8350 or wireless AC. It’s 15.6 inches with a 1080p screen, styling looks very MacBook...[Read More]
Chuwi’s currently has their 12th-anniversary sale on their tablets with various websites participating. Banggood has various coupons with discounts ranging from 13 to 16% off Chuwi tablets. You can find the deals listed here: Chuwi 12th Anniversary sale page By the way? Who else had no idea Chuwi was 12 years old? I wouldn’t have guessed it. I had never heard of them until the Vi10 an...[Read More]
Intel-powered 2-in-1 ones get a discount this week over at Gearbest and certain models like the Chuwi Vi10 Plus and Teclast Tbook 16 Pro get the keyboard thrown in for free if you buy the tablet. Of course, a deal like this has a limit on how many keyboards will be included for free. The Chuwi VI10 Plus, I’ve reviewed and for the $129 price, it’s not a bad Remix tablet, it has a rather...[Read More]
No surprises here. It’s just like the Hibook, exactly the same specs. Just instead of Android 5.1, it has Remix OS 2.0. However, it’s better, due to one thing. The USB Type-C port is working at USB 3.0 speeds unlike my first batch HiBook I unboxed which only worked at USB 2.0 speeds. Sorry about the video focus in some parts, my manual focus was off on the lower half of the screen. I...[Read More]
A lot of people are concerned about gaming performance in Android on the HiBook Pro with that 2560 x 1600 OGS screen, myself included. So I run a few games on my HiBook Pro and it’s not as bad as I expected it to be. Only games that run in full native screen resolution and don’t upscale run slow. Super demanding games like Mortal Kombat X as you’ll see in the below video, ran abo...[Read More]
My Chuwi HiBook arrived on Friday, but with so many devices to unbox and review (PiPo X10 still to go) I’ve only just got around now to unboxing it and taking a peak. Here’s the video below: Now you might recall that it was released a few months back in China. I held off buying one as I heard it had some sleep and driver issues in Windows. Now apparently all fixed up this second batch ...[Read More]
