Chuwi Hi Book Dual OS owners

[Anonymous]

Just got my two Chuwi Hi Book Dual OS delivered from DHL. First impression, the build quality is really excellent, on par with the Cube i9, if not better. Speakers seems good as well, no static noise, same with the 3,5mm jack.
And I really like the keyboard, cant compare the keyboard with i9 yet cause I havent gotten it delivered, still on its way from China.
The bios is from february, gonna test all ports but I can already confirm that the tablet accepts 128GB microSD cards from the start, no issues at all!

Will update this post later, if you have any questions just ask me!

*Update*
The type-C USB port is not the standard of 10gb/s, just tried with a type-C flash drive, it is much slower than the one on Cube i9.
The eMMC/SSD is a: Hynix HCG8e
The Wifi is half the speed I get from my cube i9, with my cube I get: down 100mbit/s – up 8,5mbit/s
Uploaded a picture of the eMMC/SSD CrystalDiskMark 5 benchmark test. Dont know if that is good results or not.

*update*
The actually weight of the tablet is not 522 grams but 585 grams, with keyboard the totally weight is 1130 gram.
Manage to get the tablet to 73 degrees as warmest for one CPU core. Doesnt get anywhere close as warm as the Cube i9.

I got one too. Quite impressed with the build quality and battery life.

Same experience with the heat. It doesn’t feel hot at all. The all-metal body might have helped as a heat sink.

One thing I noticed is the HiBook’s keyboard has the same issues with its touchpad as the Hi10 — edge swipe gestures can’t be configured (http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/disable-edge-swipe/). When you swipe the middle of the touch pad from the top edge, all windows will minimize. This can’t be turned off, very annoying. I’ll try to install the Synaptics driver mentioned in the link to see if it resolves the problem

The charger they sent with this tablet is really slow to charge the tablet, and the cable is a little too short, but I guess its easy to find a longer charging cable.

With the keyboard swiping thing, I havent even tried that,
I am having another problem though installing my language pack on one of the tablets, maybe I need to do a factory reset? Cause during a windows update when restarting the computer, it got stuck in the loading menu, and I restarted the computer manually, maybe that has something to do with it. And now it wont download the language pack :(.

I tried to install my language pack via control panel => language.
the system download a file (38.8 mb) and after that it shows this message “the following updates were not installed”.

I tried to do the manual installation but the system shows this message (the language cannot be installed on this computer).

Anything else I can try?

Nice, I’m expecting mine in two weeks. It just shipped with PostNL (Snail mail) to avoid DHL taxes which are killing me. I”ll create a subforum and move this thread to the HiBook forum. That keyboard is good, as I have used it in the Cube iwork10 Ultimate. It’s infact the same one used and not made by Cube or Chuwi, but a 3rd party ODM.

Just received mine. Very good tablet for the price. Comparing to Teclast X98 Pro the build quality  and battery live are better, speakers are great!

So far the only issue I have is with dualOS switch screen. It si always set to android and I cant set it to boot windows directly  (I can boot to windows from android’s boot windows shortcut). Any sugestions ?

Hi is it true that it will only charge via USB C?

Thanks

You mean the white screen with two logos and 10sec countdown?

In that screen, you can select OS by pressing volume button(I thought it was up for android and down for windows).

I’m tried out with USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable which came with this console and micro USB cable but that doesn’t work.

You can’t, at least not in Windows mode. You’ll need a special USB cable to be able to connect the two Windows OS, or change it to Android.

I’ve been trying to connect it with android mode whole time since there are no purpose of doing it in Windows for me.

I want to root the android to delete pinyin input which I have to connect to PC.

So is anybody gonna upload the Windows 10 drivers for the tablet?

Hello all,

 

I just ordered two hibook then I saw that Chris G has trouble powering external hard drives… Do you have the same issue? This is a real deal breaker if it is true.

Also is the wifi so weak?

 

thanks
