The trackpad isn’t too bad, it’s rather nice except when you move your finger above the top of the track pad and pull down like you are trying to move the mouse a little and it either switches the window to half screen instead of full screen or it minimizes it.  I bet this is something in windows that can be disabled, but so far that is what I have noticed.  The clicking is nice as well with it.  So far so good!

I just installed the Equalizer APO and it turned the speakers freaking awesome!  The range on these speakers are amazing, I’m playing some Lindsey Stirling – Lord of the Rings Medley and wow, it just blows me away, these almost sound like my old HP Envy 17″ 3d Laptop I used to have with 4 speakers and a sub-woofer, now it’s no where near the bass range, but it’s a good clear sound, now I will test the headphones.

 

Update:

I just tested with some AKG Y55’s and these also sound great, nice and crisp with lots of bass.  So far I am not noticing any speaker hiss or anything static, I may have just been lucky and gotten a good one or the speakers are finally getting broken in.

Thanks guys, it’s an awesome little tablet and keyboard.

There is a little bit of flex when pushing down on the keyboard, but it doesn’t feel too bad to type.  It’s not quite like typing on an Apple keyboard, a little more spungy feeling, but it definitely isn’t bad at all.  I believe that there is a way to open it up and mod it.  Just be careful that you don’t strip the screws out, or possibly just add some locktite to the screws and it should be good.

There are 16 total screws on the bottom that I’m sure will be able to pull it apart and make any mods needed.  I’m really hoping for a mod to add another battery in the keyboard like what is in the tablet already so we can be like the first Asus Transformer tablet TF101 and have it last upwards of about 20 or so hours.  I had the first transformer and I could charge it at the beginning of the week and make it to the end of the week with normal use all day.

There is a screw in the top of the hinge when you open it up in the center, I’m not sure if this is to tighten it up, or just remove the plastic rounded bit with the rubber feet on it which holds it on the metal bit, could be anything.  I have yet to test the 2 usb ports on the keyboard, but they seem sturdy and shouldn’t be a problem.

Hope you guys get the keyboard soon and can’t wait for you to enjoy it as well.

Also noted, so far I have not seen any scratches from docking the tablet and pulling it apart as previous tablets per Chris’ former Chuwi device reviews.

When it’s docked and closed, it feels super sturdy and no issues with it.  I have noticed one thing though, when you turn the tablet backwards, it does not line up properly when it’s closed, but not a big gripe for me as I will mostly use it for a keyboard and the occasional removal as a tablet.

I am also looking toward getting a glass screen protector, but the one that was pre-applied when I bought it really isn’t too bad, not exactly crystal clear, but it still protects it well and looks decent.  All in all, a great choice.

Well, I was wrong about one thing, the keyboard dock does slightly scratch the bottom of the tablet on the edge where the screen protector is, if I got a glass one, it probably wouldn’t even leave a mark.

I got my Chuwi Hi12 keyboard yesterday for my tablet and I have to say that it’s not that bad, but it does have some Quality Control issues.

When I opened the box there was a screw in the bottom of the bag that it came in that had fallen out, I had a total of 4 screws that were stripped out, the hinge is not the strongest as the tablet slowly closes when it’s opened partially, but it is a fairly heavy tablet.  The final thing I noticed is that the space in the hinge that goes into the dock, the plastic edges have flak on them and it was not properly filed down, it doesn’t affect the operation of the tablet at all, it’s just me being nit picky.  I have to say, the color of the keyboard isn’t too bad, and the keys look not as super white as the original pictures, not to mention the track pad is the same color as the tablet and dock which makes it look pretty good.  I have attached 2 pictures of them together.

I had ordered mine from Banggood.com on March 12th and paid for Expedited shipping, they finally got them in stock and shipped mine out fairly quickly.  They shipped it on Monday (4/11) from China and I got it on Thursday (4/14) in the US in the state of Missouri.
