Thanks AltDM! shall be waiting...

I think this is the item you bought - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-1...C-Intel-Z3735F-Quad-Core-IPS/32215797202.html

It seems the keyboard option they have is not the original hard kb but a universal bluetooth one, which looks good for the price.

Have you called up DHL to confirm the consignment number? they will tell you if the parcel has actually been given to them to be processed, or if the tracking number has only been registered but no actual parcel has been handed over yet.

Hopefully you will get no screen flickering and a 64bit windows OS version :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Alternate_DM:
Yeh thats the one, i went for the English keyboard dock, not the bt one. I have a asus transformer tf101 with the keyboard dock, they work well together, but looking forward to a windows variant as opposed to android.

Havent called DHL yet, but I'll give it a couple of days for the shipping info to show up in the system. I shall remain optimistic :)

I just received my Hi10 with docking keyboard. I'm not sure how the "dual boot" is suppose to work, but I'm only able to boot into Windows 10, checked disk management and it only had Windows 10 on the drive.... I wanted a clean Windows 10 (had some Chinese apps and PC properties is in Chinese), so I re-installed the OS... Drivers weren't automatically installed, so no wi-fi, had to tether through my phone. Currently trying Windows Update and seeing if that would install all needed drivers, also the touch screen isn't working, so I'm lucky that I had my docking keyboard because it seems that the keyboard is plug and play.
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
The Hi10 doesnt come with dual boot, maybe you mean the vi10 ?

Did you get the window 10 32bit OS version or the 64bit? 32bit can only use 3gb of ram instead of 4gb ram.

How does the hard original chuwi keybaord work? does it hold the screen securely without flaping around if you have the tablet+kb on your lap?
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
I finally received my Hi10 + dock keyboard yesterday.

There was a bit of a delay (2.5 weeks or so) with shipping from the AliExpress seller as a lot of the initial manufacturing run had been returned to factory to sort out the screen flicker & overheating problems etc.

On the plus side :

Mine shows no sign of the flicker issue and seems to stay at reasonable temperature without noticable performance throttling.

Comes with plastic screen protector fitted, and a spare in the box.

The docking keyboard is solidly built (and *heavy* - presumably to stop the thing toppling over backwards), the hinge/latch seems robust and holds the tablet firmly without wobbling & the trackpad works well.

The lower (or left, depending how you look at it) tablet USB port is definitely USB 3 even though it's not blue. It achieved peak 140/60 MB/s R/W on a USB 3 thumbdrive, whereas the other ports maxxed at 40/22 MB/s R/W on the same device.

On the minus side :

It's got 32bit Win10 installed. Some users at Techtablets.com have received 64bit versions in the last day or two, so I must have one from "batch 1.5" and they got "batch 2.0" :) Guess I'll have to wait for Chuwi to release the 64bit upgrade UEFI/BIOS/OS update as various people say they've promised to in the next month or two.

The additional full-size USB port on the side of the keyboard is driven from the USB 2 hub/lane, not the USB 3 one.

The docking keyboard's weight comes from a steel plate in the base, rather than a supplementary battery. Not that anyone ever claimed any different, but it's pretty much impossible to find any definitive specs of the dock online and one has to be optimistic ;)

Talking of optimism - the product label on the side of the box has the Android side of the Windows <=> Android line unchecked (my device certainly isn't dual bootable) but maybe this means that they are keeping it open as an option somewhere down the line, maybe with the Win10 64bit update.

[IMG="Chuwi Hi10 Box label"]http://www.hrmmm.net/random/Chuwi-Hi10_box_label.jpg[/IMG]

While I think of it - Intel WiDi (Wireless Display casting) isn't available/doesn't work, even though the Atom Z8300 & Broadcom BCM4343 WiFi are supposedly capable of it and a Hi10 spec I saw on Chuwi's site clearly states it as a feature. Again - maybe it's something only available in 64bit (since the Intel WiDi switcher applet from their site only seems to come as 64bit) or Chuwi only shipped non WiDi enabled 32bit Intel drivers.

Edit: For sake of completeness I just tested the USB 3 thumbdrive in the micro-USB/charging port with an OTG adapter - that also maxxes out at USB 2 rates.
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
nice to see they gave you 2x screen protector and that the original keyboard dock is well built.

what aliexpress seller was it? do you have link ?
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
"VC Mall" ... although they sometimes refer to themselves as "VC Lemon".

Either way - the Aliexpress store link is : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1818735
[Device Reviews and Information] t4lly:
My seller was Shenzhen Senyong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd, looking at their feedback they seemed like a reputable store, this instance just wasn't handled very well I think so. I'll give your seller a go when I go to re-order in the new year. Ali has always been good for me, just one bad experience, it won't stop me using in the future.

It's good to see that peoples are coming through now and bonus that there is a full sized USB 3.0 port, I had seen reports that it was just the micro USB which would be this.

Maxman190 I'd be interested to see how you get on with the touch screen, first thing I would be doing is re-installing Windows so hope it isn't too much pain
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
ok thanks, i did msg them days ago but no reply yet - lots other people are saying they are dishonest and stuff with their so called promo keyboard gifts.
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
For what it's worth - the Chinese text in PC properties is only a few strings of OEM info in registry: just open regedit and search for some of the English text (e.g. "(Chuwi)" or "To be filled by O.E.M." or "17.00PM") and delete them/fill in Google translations/replace with whatever you like.

The "Chuwi驰为" logo on the right is just a .bmp file in C:\Windows\OEM - again referenced in registry. Delete either the registry key or the .bmp file and it will go away as well.

The only other "Chinese apps" I saw were a Windows language pack and a keyboard map - presumably used by factory/vendor in pre-ship testing. Both can be deleted safely. The rest of the install was completely vanilla English Win10 - only addons being hardware specific drivers which all seem to be the English localised versions.

It was actually quite a refreshing change to receive a new device with pre-installed OS that wasn't utterly riddled with vendor/partner crapware and worthless "utilities" ;)

[IMG="PC Properties post-edit"]http://www.hrmmm.net/random/chuwi-properties.png[/IMG]
[Device Reviews and Information] Alternate_DM:
I'd be concerned at dropping a couple hundred dollars on something associated with "Lemon" Haha! Happy to hear you received it already :)

Mine's showing up in the DHL website so they received it yesterday thankfully. Communication with my seller has been great, and they showed me tracking info from their local courier before it was showing up in DHL.

I've got next week off work, so hopefully it will arrive soon and I can have a proper play.

Good to see its not riddled with crap though (32bit preinstalled is a little dissapointing). A colleague bought an Onda 8 inch tablet a few weeks ago; Already had a user account set up and was full of dodgy self signed certificates; any secure website he went to was throwing errors which prompted him to reinstall the OS. I think he said there was a folder with drivers that he copied off on the C:\ before wiping

I found this page the other day: techtablets.com/ downloads-drivers-roms / (sorry for spacing, cant post links or similar yet :s)

No Hi10 drivers yet but they may show up soon.
[Device Reviews and Information] bovoro:
I am concerned about what they say about the version of Windows that they send, any of you ordered a Hi10 from Gearbest?
[Device Reviews and Information] FumiJ:
Chuwi HI10 has RAM 4GB ROM 64GB , and it's in stock now, i check the news.
[Device Reviews and Information] PeteSco:
Thanks for the pics, specs are pretty nice with 4Gb of RAM and the 1920x1200 IPS screen, where is it in stock?
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
what the? this is Vi8 unbox video, nothing to do with the Hi10 dude.
[Device Reviews and Information] FumiJ:
yeah, i open it and it shows Chuwi VI8 plus review, not Chuwi HI10. What happened, dude?:o
[Device Reviews and Information] law.tout@gmail.com:
Anyone know where we can get a dual boot version from??? Pref with 64bit win 10
[Device Reviews and Information] burntfaceman:
i just got two hi10's , 64bit, no issues at all, does get a little warm over the SOC but not hot and no overheating issues ( kids playing minecraft win 10 beta for hours). Built quality seems solid(no marks form the factory) . Also win10 as a tablet OS is a million times better then win8 in my opinion . The 1200P screen is nice, no flicker issues to report, ran some 24.xxx FPS movies no playback timing or tearing issues that i could notice.

Now just hanging out for the first people to get android running on it / chuwi do it themselvse
[Device Reviews and Information] FumiJ:
you can read here, i have made a nice review about Chuwi Hi10. Just enjoy it and share more with me. http://xdaforums.com/android/general/chuwi-hi10-unboxing-hands-performance-t3278364
[Device Reviews and Information] PeteSco:
Thanks! I'm going to check it out.
[Device Reviews and Information] Maxman190:
Since I installed a clean Windows 10, I've been unable to used all the features due to missing drivers, so I have to wait until manufacturer release the downloads... Until then, I can't use the touch screen, rotate screen (with gyrometer), and probably other stuff.

I ordered from VC Lemon through aliexpress, they gave me an Euro plug when they shipped it to an USA address.... I told them, they said they will send me free plug if I buy something from their store. I tried to get the cheapest item there, an accessory for like $9, they tell me, "Besides accessories, buy something from store please." Everything else is tablets that goes for $150+. They expect me to shell out an additional $150+ for a mistake that they made? I asked for a partial refund of $5, so that I can buy an Euro to USA adapter on Amazon, then they went, "my friend, please help cancel the dispute, we will agree send a new charger,thanks-susan." I don't understand why they wouldn't just give me a partial refund. Now I'd need to wait 2+ weeks for a charger that I can use, so basically my tablet is unusable at the moment... I mean, I do have other USB 5v 2a chargers, but that's not the point... What if it happened to people that didn't have it? Basically, by the time the charger arrives and if I test the tablet to see if it works, if it doesn't, the return period would be over.
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
If your thinking of saving money and buying from online stores more often, instead of brick-mortar stores, maybe its time you bought some extra plug adapters, they are dirt cheap. usually $10 for 10 of them.

but yeah, online customer service can be ridiculously weirdly horrible sometimes, not sure whats going on in their work environments - probably really crapy work conditions.
[Device Reviews and Information] Maxman190:
I do have like 12 adapters, ranging from 5v 1a to 12v 5a. I'm just saying, what if I DIDN'T have it.

Any Hi10 owners mind zipping the driver files and uploading it? :D
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
A few people over at TechTablets.com Chuwi Hi10 forum have extracted the OEM drivers from the factory install images and bundled them up.

See this post by Daniel for a list of downloads :-

[Device Reviews and Information] Maxman190:
Dude, I love you.

I guess we have to wait for awhile for a BIOS update... I can't stand the settings because it's set to "Windows 8.1"
[Device Reviews and Information] Alternate_DM:
Just received mine today (on a sunday, well done DHL!) initial thoughts: feels pretty solid, its responsive and has 64bit Win10 on it. Already has a "v" user account set up so will be doing a wipe shortly if those drivers above check out. comes with a screen protector pre-installed... has a small piece of dust underneath which is already driving me nuts, I like those things perfect!

They did send the bluetooth keyboard/cover when i ordered the keyboard dock, so hopefully that will be resolved soon. I'll play for a couple of days and post up my thoughts
[Device Reviews and Information] Maxman190:
What's the normal operating temperature for Hi10? Mine's running pretty toasty at 86C under load.
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
Yeah - that's about right for the measurement directly at the internal "on die" sensors of individual cores when they are being hammered. Intel quote it as being able to take 90C before it triggers any thermal throttling performance scale-backs.

By the time this has dissipated through the whole CPU package I get a board sensor reading (as read into ACPI) of about 55C
[Device Reviews and Information] burntfaceman:
one of my two tablets has stopped booting...... sigh :crying:

i can foresee ali express vendor interaction pain.......lol
[Device Reviews and Information] victor@ss:
Seems great for the price. Thanks for sharing it with us. I found a video unboxing about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WocDpWLJZ0g
[Device Reviews and Information] Zunera M:
Hi, the keyboard is Standard equipped? If not, Where can i buy?
[Device Reviews and Information] Krystyna:
Chuwi Hi10 need to be purchased separately, here: http://www.androidmall.co.uk/chuwi-hi10-bluetooth-keyboard-leather-case-gray.html
[Device Reviews and Information] pazvanti:
The keyboard is sold separably. I purchased mine with the tablet from the same seller. I got it from Aliexpress. It is at DHL right now, but apparently they don't ship between the holidays where I leave :)

Be careful, because there are bluetooth keyboards (that work with almost any bluetooth tablet) and official keyboard dock. The one from the reply you got from Krystyna is just a bluetooth keyboard. I got the keyboard dock. Hope it is good.

That is a standard bluetooth keyboard, not the official Keyboard dock.
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
what did you do to it ? try to install 64bit windows?
[Device Reviews and Information] burntfaceman:
nothing, both mine shipped x64, if it was a borked install that would be fine but i cant get into EUFI, disaply is blank etc. But the usb port still deliver power when i turn the tablet on ( its the only way i can tell its on).
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
So one day the screen just stopped working, you didnt drop it or anything?

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

That sux, but do feel good knowing that a girlfriend will never cost you more money than a boat would :p

Maybe you can still use the tablet with an old TV to make it a smart internet tv.

did you get to test the screen outdoors?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alternate_DM:
Hah, well, I have one of those too, so you can see why i went for a cheap chinese tablet :p Putting on my sherlock hat... Boat joke, concerned about visibility outside... putting this tablet on the boat for a cheap gps/sonar by any chance?

Just took it outside then... at 100% brightness the screen is visible (much better with lighter backgrounds obviously) but its not the greatest. It is overcast today so in full sunlight may be worse. The screen protector doesnt help at all, it goes a bit hazy and i lifted a corner to see it was better without. Because its not oleophobic the protector is very hard to see through outside unless you give it a really good clean. A decent matte protector to reduce the reflections may be a good idea.

The smart tv is a good idea, i may look into that. It looks like there is a replacement screen on aliexpress... but is it original? or is it a chinese knock-off cheap knock-off... could you imagine? haha!

Apart from touch, it still functions so let me know if there is another scenario you would like me to try
[Device Reviews and Information] t4lly:
Bit the bullet and bought (again) this time from GearBest, my thinking being that it is more established than an Aliexpress seller even though I have heard the horror stories. Currently priced at $182 and they 'confirmed' via a support ticket that it would be 64-bit without the issues of the first batch, I'll believe it when I see it though.

Looks like first thing for me will be to backup the drivers and re-install. Any other requests from things from a factory tablet I am happy to oblige.
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
yeah media PC or internet tv box would be best, otherwise... I have seen usb touch screen films, people put them over 19inch monitors, maybe they make 10inch sizes?

like this one, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/16-9...sistive-Touch-Screen-Panel-10/1957154865.html
[Device Reviews and Information] burntfaceman:
its not the screen thats broken its the tablet, ie no .11 association , keyboard pluged into usb doesn't get lights for num lock etc and the micro HDMI connector doesn't work. the only thing that seems to work is power delivery over the USB ports.
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
Is it the CHuwi keyboard or a normal keyboard you bought?
[Device Reviews and Information] sonhy:
Oh ok, thats no good then.
[Device Reviews and Information] pazvanti:
Mine also arrived today. I only used it for 30 minutes, but the first impressions are good. Windows was clean and had no added adware or anything. The initial setup wasn't even made so this is good. The tablet seems to be responsive and works well. No screen issues so far. Also, Windows 10 was the 64-bit version.

The keyboard dock is also quite nice, but rather heavy. It is heavier than the tablet. I am surprised it does not have a battery (or does it? will find out later). Also, the dock has an extra USB port and a touchpad.
[Device Reviews and Information] ozxander:
I received my 2 tablets today ... and it's with Windows 32bits :( Even if VC Mall (lemon from aliexpress) confirmed it would be 64bits. Any news from Chuwi or Lemon about this issue?

Edit: They arrived at my parents' place and after verifications: I have 2 different versions:

- One is Win 10 32bits and no blue port (does it mean no USB3?)

- One is Win 10 64bits with the blue port
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
The upgrade of UEFI & Windows from 32 to 64 bit has appeared in the last few days - see here for details :-

http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/chuwi-h10-32bit-to-64bit-upgrade-v200-hardware/

I've applied it to my own 32 bit Hi10 and can confirm it all works properly.

As far as the different hardware versions:-

`v200` - 32bit UEFI & Windows, Samsung eMMC HD, Broadcom WiFI

`v300` - 64bit UEFI & Windows, Hynix eMMC, Realtek WiFi

In both cases the lower (or left, depending on orientation) port is full USB3 speed - it's just the colour of the plastic in the connector that's changed.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

It doesn't have a supplementary battery, the extra weight comes from a simple steel plate in the base - it has to be heavy to stop the thing toppling over backwards when tablet is docked.

I agree an extra battery would have been nice but a bit unrealistic at the price point the offcial dock keyboards are selling for :)
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
I'm excited to receive my keyboard dock today (still haven't got it yet), and I had hoped there would be a battery (since in my testing the Hi10's battery life isnt as good as the Vi10), but that's unrealistic. Do any of you guys have a Vi10 keyboard to compare with? Or possibly even another convertible like the ASUS T100 or the Acer Aspire Switch?

One thing is that this keyboard's key travel looks like it will be better than the new 12" macbook, where the keys travel like 3mm.
[Device Reviews and Information] Sj12345:
Hi, I'd read the stock charger is a sh*t, is that true?
[Device Reviews and Information] Ztruer:
Yes it is true. Only if you close the tablet it has enough power to recharge. I use a charger from my samsung galaxy tab s, then you can use the tablet an recharge at the same time.

I had the chuwi hi10 and the original keyboard for a week now. I am very satisfied with the tablet, and the keyboard are one of the best tablet keyboard i have tried. If you have some questions, feel free to write.

Received my Tablet last week and its Windwos 10 64 Bit. Registered and licensed ok. hoping they release an update to allow dual boot soon so I can get some Android goodness on it alongside Windows. Have VmWare installed and able to run a kali vm without any issues although I havent tried anything to taxing on the system.
[Device Reviews and Information] ozxander:
Thank you very much for that! As the laptops are at my parent's place the process seems a little bit too complicated for them to try. But next time I go there I will try it :)

P.S: Does anybody know which eMMC between Samsung and Hynix is better? Never heard of this brand ...

Is the wifi working good? I am thinking to use it with the steam streaming
[Device Reviews and Information] Ztruer:
Yes it works very good. I play on stream myself. Team fortress, path of exile works fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] kuraikaze:
Hynix are another big Korean semi-conductor manufacturer. They don't do much in the way of consumer products, mainly memory chips etc for OEM use, so their name won't be as recognisable to many.

Going from the screenshots of disk tests I've seen in various other forums the Hynix is approx 10MB/s faster on writes, but about 10MB/s slower on reads.
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
My review of the Chuwi Hi10 is up!
[Device Reviews and Information] pazvanti:
Do you use Steam Remote Play (aka the game runs on a more powerful PC and the tablet is just for mirroring) or you actually use the tablet as the gaming device? I bought the tablet and did not have time to check if Remote Play works.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ztruer:
No i have not tried remote play. I use the tablet as gaming device.
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
I can confirm Steam in home streaming works. I only tried it with Left 4 Dead 2, but it worked perfectly fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] pazvanti:
Thanks...guess it is time to get a controller and hock the tablet to my TV. I have so many Steam games that are big-picture and controller ready :D
[Device Reviews and Information] ozxander:
For the people with the win 32 bits problem, CHUWI came up with an 'official' solution on their 'forum' (forum.chuwi.com/thread-15-1-1.html) ... seems way more complicated than the solution from kuraikaze's link.
