The Chuwi Hi13 is a tablet with a 13.5 inch, 3,000 x 2,000 pixel display and an Intel Celeron N3450 Apollo Lake processor.
While there’s no shortage of inexpensive Windows tablets with Celeron or Atom chips, the Chuwi Hi13 stands out thanks to its high-resolution IPS display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. You know what else has a 13.5 inch, 3,000 x 2,000 pixel screen? Microsoft’s Surface Book. But Microsoft charges $1,499 and up for those 2-in-1 laptops, while Chuwi’s tablet sells for less than a quarter of that price.
On the other hand, while the Chuwi Hi13 does support both a digital pen and a detachable keyboard, neither of those is included in the base price. So if you plan to use this tablet as a notebook, you’ll have to spend a little more.
Other specs include 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a microSD card reader and a 10,000 mAh battery with 24 watt fast charging, a USB Type-C port, micro HDMI output, a 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth.
Conclusion
Based on specs alone, the Chuwi Hi13 offers a mixed bag that won’t exactly stand up to the Surface Book but, at the same time, offers something the Surface Book can’t: price. The Chuwi Hi13 will sell for $349, less than third of Microsoft’s detachable laptop. You do get what you pay for, but, in this case, it might not be that bad at all.
