Well, there is still a micro usb port, so you can plug in a hub there and put your controller in that hub?

I’m not sure the micro USB port supports that function. Gonna get one and try it out.

Thanks for the great info on chargers. Okay so it might not work, I’ll find out and test it when it arrives. I don’t think it will fry the tablet, but you never know if it does I’ll be sure to warn everyone.

Does this mean there’s no hope of charging this Tab via a Hub?

I wonder how one can play games and charge it at the same time.

Guess the keyboard dock is a must then 🙁

Well generally, considering the new features added to the Creators update (especially the Game Mode; which is awesome as the system dedicates all resources to that game you select the mode for) it’s worth the trouble I must say.

I must confess tho, I have no idea how good it is for the Hi13, mine arrives tomorrow God willing.

These guys seem to have made the update; https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/performance-with-latest-windows-10-creators-updatebuild-1703/#post-65424

Agreed! I was feeling the same way. So far been really impressed with this processor, which I originally thought would be underpowered.

Did you force the Creators update or was it just simply lying somewhere in your windows and all you had to do was give it permission to install?

Read some post online about how one could force the update as it hasn’t been pushed to all PCs yet.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this tablet. It was this or the cube mix plus. And i think i made the right choice. (I don’t like the color of the cube, i hate the chinese writing in the back (somehow gives me the feeling that it is cheap), i like big screens) It is only some minor things that annoy me like the windows trackpad gestures and the occasional slowdown or in this case the tablet not booting.

Cool. By the way did you make the Windows 10 creator’s update yet? If not, are you planning to?

PS: The Hi13’s tempered glass is now listed on AliExpress for about $20 (pricey I feel)

  Chris G>And to anybody reading this, worrying if this means only chuwi batteries works, don’t worry, just tested a couple AA and AAA batteries and they alle worked fine. However, I should perhaps mention that the stylus pen uses a special AAAA battery….which was a surprise to me. Thought it used AAA, so won’t be able to utilize my collection of rechargeable AAA batteries! ;-(

“Won’t be able to utilize my collection of rechargeable AAA batteries..”

Thought u were indicating they actually work. So why won’t u be able to make use of you AAA batteries?

Well a seller on AliExpress (new peeps judging from the number of sales) finally has a tempered glass for the Hi13 and they look quite genuine.

What do you think of the picture (those with the Hi13 already)? Does it look like it’ll match?

I have noticed that my Chuwi Hi13 gets stuck on the “Chuwi” Boot logo sometimes. I think it only happens when I am charging it, and doesn’t happen all the time, but it is hella annoying xD My Bios version is V1.12

These developing issues with the Hi13 aren’t encouraging at all. Glad I ordered one already (not sure) cuz I think I might not have after seeing all these random faults.

Mine is still stuck with DHL (customs and tax). Glad the holiday’s finally over, can’t wait.

Hey Chris,

Just saw your full review on YouTube, tho I haven’t actually watched it yet. It’s great how you sacrificed your weekend for us. I’m really really like totally really grateful 🙂

Cheers!

Well it seems like the USB ports on the keyboard are of 2.0 configuration. That’s a bit of a bummer 🙁

I hope I don’t have issues with Chuwi Store on Aliexpress. Also why I prefer using BG and GB for PayPal if I do have issues, but the retailers get it weeks after Chuwi’s official store. If I do I will certainly make it know and nice and public for Chuwi in the form of a video or two if mine units faulty. Paid over $450 so far for keyboard, tablet, pen and DHL shipping so it better arrive in once piece and okay. Mines on the DHL van, I hope to have it soon.

Great! Hope you’d be able to do a very quick unboxing once it arrives. Can’t wait 🙂

Type-C USB3 is nice if it’s real and fully functional. Interesting that they actually advertise it can run Linux … “Ubuntu OS support”…

I’ll find out tomorrow, will do a quick Linux test if I have time. If not in other video. Which is the best you think for touch support Brad? Also, that type-c port Chuwi said full support, video and data and charging. I find video support hard to believe, why is there a micro HDMI out then? My Hi13 just left Hong Kong, on the way to Leipzig hub in Germany, then down to Alicante, Spain early tomorrow for delivery I hope.

 

Yay, mine just shipped out. Would be really great  if this beats the Hi12 completely in every aspect. Fingers crossed. Looking forward to your unboxing Chris.

Not yet, I have it order with them and few other places. Not one has shipped which is a real shame. I’m told now it’s shipping this week from Aliexpress official Chuwi store. I expected the large bezels, nothing new there. And 90% sure it’s going to be non-laminated, nevermind. Hold out for an 8GB fully laminated Hi13 Pro version in 6 months.

 

Do you have an idea if that’s larger than that of the Hi12?

[Atere Jr]

Cool… Mine is still being processed. The wait is killing me.

I really hope the tab functions better than I expect.
