Chuwi Hi10 X

The Chuwi Hi10 X is a compact 2-in-1 tablet PC with Windows 10 out of the box. Its FullHD display measures only 10.1 inches in diagonal. Instead of an Intel Atom x5-Z8350, the new version uses an Intel Celeron N4100 quad-core together with 6GB of RAM. There is also 128GB of storage space available internally, whereby expansion via a microSD card should be possible.

Chuwi Hi10 X Hardware Specs

Inside the Hi10 X is a new favorite of models targeted at the entry-level market, the Celeron N4120, which is based on the Gemini Lake architecture, comes with four threads, four cores, and 4MB of cache. It has a 9th gen UHD Graphics 600 GPU and can turbo boost to 2.6GHz. Perhaps more importantly, despite still using an “old” 14nm manufacturing process.

Performance-wise, it is good without being exceptional. The N4120 is speedy but the entire device is pulled down by the poor eMMC storage. At just under 3hr48 (228 minutes), the Hi10 X achieves an excellent 0.114Whr per minute. This metric gives a rough idea of how energy efficient (or inefficient) the device is on this particular platform.

Display and Design

The gorgeous IPS display has a higher-than-expected resolution and together with a small diagonal, provides one of the highest pixel densities (and therefore sharpness) of any Windows PC or tablet. Even out of the box, colors pop out of the screen with good enough contrast to provide a great picture quality thanks partly to the full lamination. It does support the Hi Pen, a 4096 pressure-level stylus.

The metal Chuwi Hi10 X comes with a suitable keyboard cover. In this combination, the 2-in-1 tablet should then also be able to work productively.
