Chuwi is a well known company. We have reviewed many times the tablets that makes, since they are very good and is a very good buy. Today we are going to see 2 of the latest models chuwi presented to us, Chuwi LapBook and Chuwi Hi12. We have presented both tablets here at igeekphone.com in the past, but not is time to compare them and see who is going to win! So let the best Chuwi win!
Design
CHUWI LapBook comes with super large 15.6 inch 1920*1080 Full HD and display ratio 16:9 display, the richer colors and sharper contrast can make your videos, photos and web pages look better. LapBook has a very large full-size keyboard and a mis-touch avoiding trackpad, every detail was curated just for an exceptional input experience. Material of back cover is from plastic. Comes with the 9-22mm thickness and 1860g weight (50% thinner and 40% lighter than an ordinary laptop), the LapBook has very good portability. While the white main enclosure makes it more charming and elegant. The dimensions of the CHUWI LapBook are just 37.10 x 23.97 x 2.20 cm.
The front face CHUWI HI12 measures 10.31 by 6.59 inches. The entire tablet is only 0.35 inches thick and weights 852 grams, which is considerably lighter than the Surface Pro 4 and only slightly heavier than the current iPad Air. The resolution of the display is 2160 x 1440 pixels, the contrast ratio 530:1, numbers which are great for a 12-inch screen. Images are sharp and there’s plenty of on-screen real estate. The maximum brightness of 318 lux, is good enough for outdoor use on a sunny day. Color quality is better still. In terms of gamut, the Hi12 offers 74 percent of the AdobeRGB scale. That closely rivals the significantly more expensive Samsung TabPro S. The dimensions of the Chuwi Hi12 are 29.67 x 20.28 x 0.89 cm.
Hardware
CHUWI LapBook is equipped with a Quad Core Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 running up to 1.44GHz. For GPU is equipped with a Intel HD Graphic (Gen8). Thanks to the advanced 14nm Intel X5 CPU and 8th generation Intel HD Graphics GPU, whether you are playing games or watching the videos, it can guarantee everything to run more fastly and smoothly. It has 2MB Caching and the Power Consumption is only 2W. The CHUWI LapBook is equipped with 4GB DDR3 of Ram and 64GB of Rom. 4GB memory makes LapBook run a variety of programs and tasks with no pressure and 64GB storage can meet all your storage needs for work, study and entertainment. Besides, by using a Micro SD card slot, you can easily expand its storage up to 128GB.
The Chuwi Hi12 is powered by an Intel Atom processor, specifically the 1.44GHz quad-core Z8300 chip. The Atom line is designed for low energy usage, not peak performance, so no one should expect it to perform well on benchmarks. For graphics, Hi12 uses the on-board Intel HD graphics. The Chuwi Hi12 sports a Hynix HCG8e solid state drive, with 64GB of storage. That’s not a lot of space for installing apps, storing images and video. For RAM, Hi12 is equipped with 4GB, memory more than enough for executing all kind of operations.
Battery
The CHUWI LapBook features a Built-in, 3.7V / 10000mAh, Polymer Li-ion battery. It has about 7-8 hours standby time and about 5 hours video playing time. Its 10000mAh large internal battery capacity is perfect for all-day using. Also, it can be very fast recharged by using the original 5V/3A charger.
The Chuwi Hi12 comes with a 6600mAh battery. This, combined with the energy efficient Atom processor, means users can expect long battery life. The Peacekeeper battery test, which runs browser benchmarks in a loop, lasted six hours and 15 minutes, which is a perfectly respectable result.
Features
The CHUWI LapBook features WIFI 802.11b/g/n wireless internet connection and Bluetooth 4.0 for connecting with other devices and the internet. Features also a single front camera of 2.0MP for taking pictures and speaking with others through Skype or whats-app. Features also 1 x USB 3.0 + 1 x USB 2.0 slots, Micro HDMI slot, DC Jack and 3.5mm Headphone Jack. With the dual USB-A ports (USB 3.0, USB 2.0), you can transmit your data quickly between your laptop and other devices. The micro HDMI port can allow you to connect with projectors, TVs or other video devices. Supports Skype, Youtube. For images supports BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPG and PNG, for audio supports MP3 and for video supports MP4. From MS Office format supports Excel, PPT and Word. The Chuwi LapBook comes with installed Windows 10. Windows OS is built-in Chinese and English, and other languages need to be downloaded by WiFi. Windows 10 is the latest and most popular OS from Microsoft. It’s not only great for entertainment, but also great for productivity. The Edge browser, Cortana assistant and Xbox game can also offer you more comfortable using experience.
Chuwi Hi 12 is fanless, so noise is not a problem or overheating. So far as we can tell the internal heatsink in the Chuwi Hi12, alongside the underpowered processor, do a good job of keeping everything cool. The touchscreen does not work during the boot sequence, so users will have to use the volume keys to choose Android or Windows. If you can’t get that to work, an application on the Windows desktop allows users to restart into Windows, and the shutdown menu in Android offers “Boot to Windows” as an option. There’s not a lot of Android software installed by default, not even Android staples like Gmail or Chrome. Happily, Google Play is included, so installing and setting up your favorite apps isn’t hard. Performance seemed a little smoother on the Android side overall, but still a little slow while browsing heavy pages. The Hi12 offer a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port on the tablet itself. A headphone jack means you can connect your speakers, and a micro HDMI port enables external displays. There’s also a MicroSD slot, which can help supplement the 64GB of internal memory. Power is handled by a MicroUSB port on the side of the tablet itself, inexplicably placed between the two full-sized USB ports. This means that, in order to use the tablet while it’s charging, you’ll need to connect a cable to the side of the display (a display that, you’ll remember, is prone to wobbling.) The 32-inch cable that comes with the Hi12 only reaches so far, meaning plugging in is impossible if there’s no plug on the table or desk you’re working on.
Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi are offered by the Realtek RTL8723BS wireless card. The Hi12 documentation points out that Wi-Fi lets you “swim the internet,” which we assume is more immersive than surfing.
