Re: (2) How does the docking keyboard look and feel ? (good quality ? any problems with it ? good key up/down movement ?) Re: (4) Am I right when I think that the screen protectors are plastic ones, not tempered glass ?
Keyboard looks great and feel ok. Quality is really good (best chinese keyboard I have got). Key movement is also good. Better on key center press, worse on corners. Touchpad is average. Keys are small (75%-85% size of normal laptop keys. Function keys are smaller). When tablet is docked screen autorotate is off. Screen protectors are plastic. Not so good
<noscript></noscript>Edit: Tablet 515 grams Keyboard 600 gramsWhere did you bought your keyboard, and how much money?
{Copy of a post I made on XDA a short while ago, which also covers some of the questions asked here}
I finally received my Hi10 + dock keyboard yesterday (22/12/2015).
There was a bit of a delay (2.5 weeks or so) with shipping from the AliExpress seller as a lot of the initial manufacturing run had been returned to factory to sort out the screen flicker & overheating problems etc.
On the plus side :
Mine shows no sign of the flicker issue and seems to stay at reasonable temperature without noticable performance throttling.
Comes with plastic screen protector fitted, and a spare in the box.
The docking keyboard is solidly built (and *heavy* – presumably to stop the thing toppling over backwards), the hinge/latch seems robust and holds the tablet firmly without wobbling & the trackpad works well.
The lower (or left, depending how you look at it) tablet USB port is definitely USB 3 even though it’s not blue. It achieved peak 140/60 MB/s R/W on a USB 3 thumbdrive, whereas the other ports maxxed at 40/22 MB/s R/W on the same device.On the minus side :
It’s got 32bit Win10 installed. Some users at Techtablets.com have received 64bit versions in the last day or two, so I must have one from “batch 1.5” and they got “batch 2.0″ 🙂 Guess I’ll have to wait for Chuwi to release the 64bit upgrade UEFI/BIOS/OS update as various people say they’ve promised to in the next month or two.
The additional full-size USB port on the side of the keyboard is driven from the USB 2 hub/lane, not the USB 3 one.
The docking keyboard’s weight comes from a steel plate in the base, rather than a supplementary battery. Not that anyone ever claimed any different, but it’s pretty much impossible to find any definitive specs of the dock online and one has to be optimistic 😉Talking of optimism – the product label on the side of the box has the Android side of the Windows <=> Android line unchecked (my device certainly isn’t dual bootable) but maybe this means that they are keeping it open as an option somewhere down the line, maybe with the Win10 64bit update.
While I think of it – Intel WiDi (Wireless Display casting) isn’t available/doesn’t work, even though the Atom Z8300 & Broadcom BCM4343 WiFi are supposedly capable of it and a Hi10 spec I saw on Chuwi’s site clearly states it as a feature. Again – maybe it’s something only available in 64bit (since the Intel WiDi switcher applet from their site only seems to come as 64bit) or Chuwi only shipped non WiDi enabled 32bit Intel drivers.
Edit: For sake of completeness I just tested the USB 3 thumbdrive in the micro-USB/charging port with an OTG adapter – that also maxxes out at USB 2 rates.
