Just did a test with v3 Chuwi 14.1 Lapbook and the Lapbook lasted 4 hours with screen 100% the whole time with sleep mode off and playing Link to the Past on a SNES emulator for around 45 minutes.  I have the version without the m.2 slot.  CPU dynamically adjust as needed and maxes out around 2Ghz.

Okay, did a continuous test with screen on 100% the whole time and played Link to the Past on a SNES emulator for 45 minutes and the lapbook lasted just about 4 hours.  Will do another test with 50% screen brightness and 45 minutes of Link to the Past and report back.

I have the 3rd version and use the lapbook all day allowing the lapbook to go to sleep mode after 15 minutes with the screen on 100% and I’m still at 27% battery power remaining.

Also wanted to comment on battery life.  Seems normal to me.  I use the lapbook all day off and on allowing the MacBook to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes.  Start at 730am and is now 500pm and battery is at 27%.  Screen has been at 100% the whole time.  Will do a continuous test tomorrow.

I have no issues with the keyboard at all and I am a fairly proficient typist.

Had to add again that the screen/display is much better with this version of the Chuwi 14.1.

I originally bought the chuwi 14.1 off of Amazon for 270, no tax, free shipping and the lapbook had the m.2 slot but the temps of the processor were crazy hot and the lapbook stopped working eventually so was returned.

Found the Chuwi 14.1 on gearbest for 217 and free shipping so I bought this one.

No m.2 slot but the temps are way better.

The screen is way better as well as the colors are much more vibrant and the reds are true red as opposed to the first lapbook where the reds were more orangish.

I can live without the m.2 slot as the lapbook is more than fast enough for what I need, especially for $217!!!

Oh yeah, and the touch pad actually works well with no need to reinstall windows 10.

Had an issue with windows 10 activation but what I did was mess around with the date and time settings.  First putting the date and time into manual mode, then resetting the time zone to a wrong time zone.  Then I put both back to automatic and after this Windows 10 activated immediately.
