Chuwi MiniBook X review: Small, inexpensive laptop with one niche use case
While the rest of the specs are pedestrian, this laptop can work well for remote writers
I've always been intrigued by mini laptops. I work multiple gigs around the world, and the nature of my job means work tasks could suddenly come in at any hour. Having a small computer that can stay in a bag with me all day is highly beneficial. But most mini laptops I've tested are almost always underpowered with a keyboard too cramped for a fast touch-typer like myself.
How to install Linux on the Chuwi Hi10 Air
The Chuwi Hi10 Air is a relatively decent Windows 10-powered tablet, but if you're more of a Linux person, you can get Linux running with relative ease.
There's a lot of Chinese brands putting out exceptional devices at the moment--just have a look at brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and OnePlus for examples of this. But the Chinese market is big, and there's a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to Chinese OEMs. Chuwi currently figures as one of these lesser-known Chinese brands, but nonetheless, their devices are still worthy of attention and still have a place for discussion in our forums.
The Chuwi Hi9 Air is a 10-inch tablet with a Helio X20, 8,000mAh Battery, and LTE
Chuwi has announced the Hi9 Air, a new Android tablet with a 10.1" 2560x1600 display and the MediaTek Helio X20 SoC. It's powered by an 8000mAh battery, and it runs Android Nougat. Pricing and availability are currently unknown.
We tend to talk a lot about established Chinese device makers such as Huawei, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Lenovo Group. However, there are other lesser-known Chinese brands out there which make smartphones and tablets. For the most part, these lesser-known Chinese device makers find success only in their domestic market of China, but there are some device makers that seek to take a step beyond and establish themselves in international markets. One such device maker is Chuwi.
The Chuwi Hi9 is an 8.4" Android 7.0 Tablet With a MediaTek MT8173
Chuwi is a little known Chinese brand that offers cheap Android tablets with decent, mid-range specifications. The Chuwi Hi9 is their latest offering.
Chuwi is a little known Chinese brand that has been trying to stand out in the crowded market of low price Android tablets. The company, which was founded around 2004, first started making MP3 and MP4 player devices as well as other multimedia devices. It was only after striking a partnership with Chinese silicon manufacturer MediaTek that they entered the Android market with full force. Since 2015, they've been aiming at reaching the global market beyond their native China. But it's not easy to get into the U.S. market (just ask LeEco), yet Chuwi is still pushing forward with their recently announced Chuwi Hi9 tablet.
