Chuwi Hi10 Pro Unboxing & First Look (A HiBook With Remix & Windows)
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]

Teclast Tbook 16S Unboxing And First Impressions
Teclast’s latest Atom dual boot is a kickstand style 2-in-1 with optional type cover. A design like the Surface line of tablets which started this trend. My unit arrived with a blue type cover. The Teclast Tbook 16S unboxing video. The stylus wasn’t featured, but I can confirm that my active 256 pressure point Teclast X2/X3 Pro stylus works perfectly on the Tbook16 S. First impressions...[Read More]
Chuwi HiBook Pro Review & Rating Online. Plus What’s Next
If you missed the YouTube release of the review here it is, with a summary and rating. As expected it’s like HiBook, but the Pro has one of the best screens. In fact, I would do as far to say the best screen seen in a Chinese tablet reviewed here. Sure it’s not a perfect 2-in-1, so make sure you have a look at the HiBook Pro review before you think about parting with $199. Next up for ...[Read More]

The S1 has now been fully reviewed, you’ll find the Livefan S1 review here. Livefan, a brand you probably haven’t heard of (I hadn’t until a forum user pointed it out) has an interesting notebook.

Chuwi HiBook Pro Gaming Review With Benchmarks (Android)
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]
Teclast TBook 16 Pro 2-in1 11.6″ Dual OS tablet
Teclast’s latest 2-in-1 the TBook 16 Pro is due for release this week in China. Another on the Tbook tablets, which unfortunately still runs the same Atom X5 Z8300. While not a bad Atom CPU, it’s a shame we aren’t seeing more of the faster X5 Z8500 or X5 Z8700 chips. This was the tablet Teclast teased 2 weeks or so ago. The design looks very slim and it’s got a 1080p 11.6&#...[Read More]
Chuwi HiBook Pro Unboxing And First Impressions
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]
Xiaomi Redmi Pro Review – Dual Cameras Anyone?
Xiaomi’s latest mobile, the Redmi Pro. It has an interesting dual camera set up for depth of field blurred background photos using a primary 13MP rear camera and a secondary 5MP rear camera. The results are good most of the time but is it something we really need in a mobile? Other phones like the ASUS Zenfone 3 Ultra I reviewed can do this via software. Below you’ll find my Xiaomi Red...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 12.5″ Review
Here it is, my Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air review (Core M model). It has just gone live on YouTube, while it’s not a tablet I sure do hope Xiaomi release one as this Mi Notebook is one fine lightweight ultrabook. It’s not perfect, but the build, screen, touchpad, and keyboard are all top notch and I’ve been using this non-stop since the day I got it. It’s now become my go to tra...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 12.5″ Unboxing, First Look and Impressions.
Our Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air arrived today, it’s the 12.5″ version. This one has an Intel Skylake Core M3-6Y30, 4GB of 1866Mhz dual channel RAM, 128GB Samsung SATA3 SSD and a spare slot to add another even. And because I’m impatient, I had this sent out with Windows 10 Chinese only, knowing all too well it will not allow me to change it over to English. But now there is an option ...[Read More]
