Review on 💻 CHUWI Hi10 X Tablet with Keyboard and Stylus Pen, 10.1" 2-in-1 Tablet PC, Intel N4120 Quad-core, 6GB LPDDR4 128GB eMMC, 1920x1200 FHD IPS Multi-Touch Display, 2xType-C, Bluetooth 5.1, Dual Wi-Fi, Windows 10 by Jaymai Alford

I wanted a small, inexpensive (so I wouldn't have to worry) Windows PC (so I could run programs that aren't available on Android) to travel and work on my travel photos you fill the bill. It has a brighter screen than big-name PCs in this price range, more 128 GB of eMMC storage, more 6 GB of RAM, and good performance. It's just unknown if it will have the same repair speed as well-known brands. What follows is a detailed review: The overall look is very pleasing - most of the case is sandblasted or etched metal, with a silver finish that doesn't leave fingerprints. Beveled edges in shiny metal. The wide (5/8″ top/bottom, 7/8″ sides) black bezels around the 10.1″ screen look less modern, but I don't know if Chuwi could squeeze all the components into the thin part of the tablet if they could did. 11 inch screen with thin bezels. The tablet part scored just over 1.2# on my scale, as did the keyboard part. Total weight 2.4-2.5#. The power and volume controls are on the top edge (on the left in laptop mode). The 5-megapixel rear camera is mediocre, but good for videos. A 2 megapixel webcam is also sufficient. Left edge, top to bottom: 3.5mm audio jack, Micro HDMI, USB-C charging + data 2.0*1, USB-C 3.0 data*1, TF card slot (Please note that the TF card is 1-2mm larger than a microSD card, so they don't have to be swapped out) supporting up to 128G TF card, speaker. Right edge: speaker below. Bottom edge: 2 pairing slots with 2 raised ribs on the keyboard hinge. 5 POGO pins for electrical connections. The magnets hold the tablet so firmly to the keyboard that you can turn the computer upside down and even shake it slightly without breaking the parts. The small QWERTY keyboard has all the usual keys, with the usual manufacturer-specific repositioning of some keys. Minor keys, and many keys have dual roles with different functions (the function icons aren't explained in the manual - most of these are generic, but the icon on the F11 key is new to me and I couldn't figure out what it does ). Some keys and the trackpad are a bit more sensitive than others, so my typing error rate was higher than on my good full-sized computer keyboard, but overall the keyboard turned out to be better than I expected after reading some reviews. The keyboard has 2 standard USB-A (full-size, rectangular) connectors (USB 3.0 according to the specs), one on each side near the hinge, and 6 small rubber pads on the top of the keyboard around the display support when closed. Keyboard USB ports deliver power even when the computer is asleep (tablet ports not tested). The trackpad responds to a very light touch and performs state-of-the-art multi-finger "tricks". 1 tap = left mouse click. Two finger tap = right click. Three finger tip = open search. Scroll/pan with two fingers. Pinch/spread two fingers to zoom in/out (seems to work better with photos than text). The display may "wiggle" a bit, as one would expect from a mounting type. Otherwise, the entire laptop is quite rigid and supports well with one hand. The hinge opens about 35 degrees vertically and probably stops there to allow for touchscreen operation without tilting the computer backwards when it's on a table. Opening the hinge raises the back of the keyboard a few degrees to make typing more comfortable. If you're very tall or have a shorter-than-average desk, tilt your eyes slightly down at the display, but the display will still be bright and clear. The trackpad gets "sticky" when your fingers are dirty. The touchscreen gets covered in the usual smudges that become annoying when the light is bright and behind you - another reason to keep your hands clean. Chuwi recommends cleaning your computer and screen with a damp (not wet) cotton (or microfiber) cloth only. There are no vents or fans here (passive cooling provided by the metal chassis), and all heat escapes down the left side of the tablet, particularly the top left near the power button. Because there are no vents or heat along the keyboard, this laptop can actually be used on your lap. The IPS display has a resolution of 1200 x 1920 pixels and is brighter than most computers, especially in this price range (also mentioned in other reviews). With normal room lighting, only 50% brightness is required. The touchscreen works in both laptop mode and tablet mode. Since the screen size is only 10.1 inches, you can zoom the display settings to 175% for better readability. The display was blue shifted from the factory (like many other factory displays) but this is easily fixed using the Intel Graphics Command Center (shipped with the computer and also available from the MS Store). If you are using IGCC there is a switch to toggle between the all color slider and the individual color sliders. Select individual colors (which disables the All Colors slider and enables the Red/Green/Blue sliders), then adjust the photo to make it look right. Note that skin tones and light whites/greys are most sensitive to subtle color distortions. The speakers sound pretty good for a tiny computer, but they're only loud enough for a computer user. If you want to use it as a ghetto blaster, you need external powered speakers. I get about the same perceived volume with the built-in speakers at 100% power or with the headphones at 35% power. The computer comes with basic applications and no malware. It is configured to download additional popular apps from the Windows Store once connected to the internet. The included printed manual is only good for general advice (e.g. don't spill water on it) and basic functions. field in this price range), 16:10 aspect ratio, 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, hothost function, gravity and magnetic sensors, 262 x 167 mm x 8 .8mm (tablet part) and about 18mm thickness for laptop mounting. Supported voice/audio formats: OGG, ACC, M4A, FLAC, AMR, etc. Supported video formats: AVI, MKV, MP4, M4V, WEBM, 3GP, MPEDG4, etc. The paper Manual does not tell the user how to access the BIOS ( quickly pressing the ESC key during the first few seconds of boot) or the boot menu (quickly pressing F7). The computer can normally recognize the connected device type and display it as an option in the F7 boot menu. If it doesn't "see" the boot device or you can't boot from the device, you may need to disable Secure Boot in BIOS and/or change the boot from UEFI to Legacy Boot, or go into BIOS and set that device to boot first. With 46 individual apps and app folders included with Windows 10 Home, plus downloads from the Windows Store and 10 of my favorite apps from outside the Windows Store (including Avast real-time antivirus), downloading from the start took 32 seconds of switching off. to the desktop, including entering a password, which is just a few seconds slower than a new computer that costs three times as much. Back then, it only took 13 inches to open a Word document. It only took about 5-10" to shut down. After a major Windows update, installing Adobe PhotoShop Elements, GIMP, and Canon ZoomBrowser (3 great photo programs), the load times increased slightly to 42" for desktop and an additional 18" for Open .Word file. Sleep is slightly faster than shutdown: shutdown after 5" and boot after 28", password included. Sleep mode consumes about 6% of battery power per day. Overall, this is a great Wiidows 10 computer for the Money, except for the rear camera, which is good for videos but probably not as good as your phone's camera for taking photos.. The biggest unknown relates to the lack of data on the frequency of repairs compared to branded computers Note that some well-known brands are repaired almost twice as often as others, and Asurion, Revain's extended warranty provider, charges a similar amount for a 4-year warranty ntie, so the reliability can be at the same level as well-known brands. UPDATE: After using it for 6 weeks I've noticed that the grainy metal finish wears down the screen protector a bit where it meets the edges of the keyboard. The keyboard does appear to be a bit yielding, so that's where the keyboard and screen touch, halfway between the small rubber bumpers, when the computer is closed and carried. I created small bumpers using 3 layers of tape and glued the bumpers to the black edge of the screen where there was early wear. So far, so good.
