Backlight Bleeding issue
Just like what happened in the past with the CHUWI Lapbook Air (1st batch, latest ones are not affected), also the Lapbook SE is affected by the same annoying issue. Basically, you need to be lucky in order to get a unit with a perfectly glued screen until they fix the issue in the production line.

Thermal Mod
Since this PC was reaching almost 90c under heavy-load with the locked 6W TDP, I decided to go ahead and open it. Unfortunately, many bad surprises came out.
ALERT: Be careful, there are some hidden screws that made me crazy while opening it since my Lapbook Air was not featuring them.
First of all, there was no thermal pad between the heatsink and the metal chassis (the one you see here has been added by me as a test).
Second, the heatsink seems to be recycled from another motherboard, but this is just the beginning. Due to this, the coating used to shield the Metal from the Motherboard was behaving as a barrier for the heat.
So, the only way to fix this mess is by removing the coating from both heatsink and metal chassis (because yes, they insulated also that). I used some abrasive paper (P400) to remove most of the coating.
The thermal pad has been replaced with thermal paste (Kyronaut by Thermal Grizzly).
By doing this process i have discovered that the thermal pad i used as test on the heatsink was too thin (0.5mm) so i have switched to something probably overkill (1.5mm), both pads were high-performance ones BTW for the best results.
Funny story, 1.5mm resulted to not be overkill at all because there is also a design issue with this heatsink, that is not being perfectly flat thus the distance between the die and the heatsink itself is quite big so this extra thickness of the 1.5mm Thermal Pad worked perfectly. NOTE: I would recommend to go for a copper pad instead of a thermal pad but i don't have any thermal adhesive so i decided to go for something safe.
Done! As a result of this process, temps dropped by ~10C at 6W, reaching maximum 65c under Prime95 maximum heat test.
Full-quality photo album can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/2Yi24vL​

For those interested, even though it is possible to disable Power Limit 1 in the BIOS, the setting is ignored and the maximum power usage keeps getting limited to 6W. XTU is not working either (blank tab).

For those interested, even though it is possible to disable Power Limit 1 in the BIOS, the setting is ignored and the maximum power usage keeps getting limited to 6W. XTU is not working either (blank tab).
By using ThrottleStop it is possible to unlock power limits properly: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-throttlestop/
The problem is that temps get too high even with the thermal mod, i may consider liquid metal as next experiment.

Update regarding my Thermal mod. I was not satisfied with the result so proceeded and this is what i had to do.
First of all, i switched to liquid metal (Conductonaut) so i had to insulate almost the whole motherboard.
Then, as you can see here, a small piece of heatsink has been removed since, due to the design flaw, it was causing it to be bent improperly with poor contact with the die.
The result is unfortunately not superb, but i am now able to stay with power limits unlocked (via Throttlestop) with no/minimum thermal throttling.

Chromium OS
Chromium OS for Lapbook SE
This is a release candidate and the final release will be more polished and with a working built-in installer.
Downloads:
Chromium OS 68 Image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8qNpLruVz3gJieWwReb2fqe-lirqUJ9/view?usp=sharing
Installation: Depending on the destination device, you may have to follow different installation guides.
- Internal SSD (for permanent installation): in order to avoid issues, you need Linux, so choose your preferred distro and boot it (a live USB is fine, you don't need to install it). Then follow this video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N17rPCj9ye8
- USB Devices (HDD/SSD/Flash Drives, for portable installation also known as Live USB, 16GB minimum): you can use both Windows and Linux. For Windows, just download Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/), choose your USB device, tick DD mode (instead of ISO) and proceed. For Linux, the video guide linked for the Internal SSD installation can be followed.
Known Bugs:
- Unavailable tap to click (the hardware click button works fine though)
- Broken Chromium OS Installer (disabled to avoid complains)
FAQ:
- Question: I can't find the Play Store as seen on Chromebooks, where is it?
- Answer: You won't find it until Google decides to make this feature available to the public.
- Question: The Laptop is stuttering and stops responding for a while, please help.
- Answer: It means that your External USB Device is painfully slow and have to consider to get a faster USB 3.0 device to avoid this.
- Question: Is the current image source-built? If yes, where is the kernel source as requested by GPL?
- Answer: No, the current release candidate build is based on another already built image thus i have no source code for it. I am waiting for the public source release in fix all remaining issues plus make the source code available.

Wow the maximum power usage is insane without any power limit enabled. Almost 21W without any active cooling is just too much to handle, i was lucky to get only a maximum of 85c thanks to my extreme thermal mod but i can't recommend to keep power limits completely off without doing it.

Hi
thanks for the detailed information regarding this laptop
I would like to know if you have tried upgrading the SSD, specifically if it'll be able to boot from an NVMe M.2 SSD?
hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

I don't know your budget so i can't recommend you a specific model, Samsung SSDs are the best on the market as far as i know. BTW, any M.2 2280 SATA (not PCIe!) SSD will work on this device.

My budget is 110 dollars Just let me know the names. I live in Brazil so the values ​​vary a lot. I wanted a high reading. I found one of Kingston a1000 among others. But I'm confused by this SSD issue. I bought one but it is wrong, I ended up buying a SSD pcie So I would recommend some models to me.

Noob quick question
I majorly f-ed up my Chuwi SE. I thought I successfully cloned it to the 128 SSD, then deleted the eMMC. But, I now get this blue error screen.
Anyhoo. I'm trying to reinstall windows using the drivers the OP posted (thanks), and the windows + bios files on the chuwi site (slow going. Keeps getting network errors while dloading...). [sry, can't post outside link as I'm a new member. It is located on the official chuwi forums]
ANyway, my question. After I install windows (fingers crossed). How do I install the bios files that I downloaded from the chuwi forum? I downloaded them and they appear to be 4-5 different .efi files scattered about. How do I use these files, and do I need to install all of them? Many thanks in advance.

Hello... Post an HD photo of the motherboard, I'm interested to see the type of RAM installed

8GB internal storage
Wifi b/g/n(up to 150Mbps)

I've been testing a beta hardware GK802 for a couple of weeks now and have known about it for a few months.
Over at armtvtech we've worked with geekbuying to fix some firmware/hardware bugs and now it's a pretty stable device.
It's also my favorite Android TV stick to date. I just ordered one of the production models today.
Unlike the rockchip based sticks this one actually switches resolutions properly.
I haven't had any wifi signal drops, or lowered speed while using this stick.
Video playback is great and in sync. I've actually used BS Player and Dice Player to play 2 1080p mkv's at the same time with no apparent frame drops or issues.
Netflix works like a charm.
The internal NAND is actually a micro sd card that can be removed if you open the unit up. I've made several backups of my micro sd using dd in ubuntu. I've also replaced my micro sd with a larger and faster 16GB UHS-I and it was much more responsive. I used Gparted to increase the size of my partitions.
The i.mx6q actually supports linux. Freescale has builds that can run x11 w/ hardware acceleration. They also support hardware acceleration with Gstreamer for videos. It's just a matter of getting the u-boot on the internal micro-sd setup, and building a kernel that supports the built in wifi.
I've actually been working on getting ubuntu running properly on my GK802. I have it booting, but I need my usb to 3.3v serial adapter to arrive so I can check/set/make a properly working uboot.(mostly so I can change the kernel location and run a custom kernel with working wifi)
Kernel/Android/Linux sources are available from Freescale. They are gearing up for the i.mx6q to be a long term SOC so we will be seeing future software updates.
There's a copy of this device called the Hi802. It will not be receiving the same updates or support as the GK802.
It's slightly cheaper, but they basically stole the design and shopped it out at trade shows.
It also won't be featuring the same usb cable/charger needed to update the firmware through the pc as the GK802 has.
I highly recommend you go with the original GK802 over the slightly cheaper copy.
The copy can't even offer a warrenty, let alone support for the device.
I want, but I wonder when will these go on special.
Did you order one?
I ordered one. I've also got a pre production GK802 sitting in front of me.
In case your wondering I also own (3)UG802, (1)MK808, (1)MX1, (1)MK802 III, (1) Oval Elephant, and a CX-01.
I've made kernels and custom firmwares for the rk3066 sticks.
I tend to go through all these sticks looking for something a bit better and I think I've found it with the GK802.

Cool. I'd like to hear your impressions of the GR802
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
I'm basically in awe over this stick.
It's much smoother than the rk3066 sticks.
However the benchmarks are not much better. This can be explained:
The rk3066 dual cores usually operates at 1.2 to 1.6Ghz. They get antutu scores ranging from 6800 to 9900.
The i.mx6 quad core in the GK802 operates at 996Mhz(it is a 1.2GHz chip). It gets scores of around 10430 at 720p and 9980 at 1080p.
Video playback is great! Audio/Video look to be nearly perfect if not perfectly in sync.
It can playback with hardware decoding in Dice Player, MX Player, BS Player and more.
Netflix works like a charm as usual.
When doing software decoding in XBMC beta 2 I can playback 720p without alot of frame drops. Very watchable.
Avi, smaller mkv's/mp4's also playback great in XBMC beta 2.
Youtube was working great until the last update from play store, now I can't seem to find the fullscreen button. I solved this by sideloading an older verison.
I really enjoy the removable internal storage. I've made dd backups for myself.
I'm also working on getting freescale's ubuntu release running.
The internal wireless has a pretty decent range. It can connect to my router at 150Mbps through 2 "wifi troubled" rooms.(aka wifi zone of death)
Being able to switch resolutions is a huge plus. The rk3066 stick can't do this yet.
All in all I've found this stick to be more stable than my others. Which is surprising considering that it's brand new to the market.
I'm recommending it to everyone I know. Especially anyone that runs linux, because that is a huge thing in my community.
This coming week I'll be doing a full review with pictures and screenshots. I just need my new GK802 to get here!
Cool. Thanks for the review.

Hi deadhp1,
I saw a video about it in Youtube, is it correct that GK802 runs ICS instead of JB? Because of this, I'm delaying to get one. I have an iMito with JB, it's a lot smoother compared to those ICS sticks.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
The Gk802 is indeed based on ICS. Freescale has not released a JB port....yet.
I found the GK802's ICS experience to be just as smooth, if not smoother than any of my JB sticks.
I have the iMito MX1, and at real 1080p the GK802 is smoother.
I also have several other sticks including ug802, mk808, mx1, mk802 III, cx01, oval elephant. The GK802 beats them all hands down.
In other news I've soldered the 3.3v serial lines on my GK802 and have gotten access to the u-boot options.
I used the FTDI 3.3v Basic Serial to USB adapter from sparkfun and connected 3 wires the rx/tx, tx/rx, gnd/gnd wires.
After that I setup minicom to access it over ttyUSB0 115200, 8n1, no soft/hard flow control.
I had to hexedit the stock u-boot to change the bootarg "bootdelay=0" to "bootdelay=5" otherwise I couldn't interrupt the u-boot process.
I've been able to use the stock u-boot to boot the kernel included included in this release for the Nitrogen6x.
http://boundarydevices.com/latest-freescale-ubuntu-i-mx6/
I'm still stuck on the waiting for root filesystem, so my bootargs need some work.
After that's done it should be easier to compile a new u-boot with proper bootargs built in.
deadhp1 thanks for letting us know about the performance of the quadcore! I've got the MX1 (with the most recent firmware) and i love it. I saw that geekbuying was releasing the Zealz GK802 and thought about getting it but wasn't sure until someone reviewed the device. I look forward to your review of the device!
Have you tried playing shadowgun deadzone one there?

What would nice is to know if the wifi signal strengh is good and if it doesn't drop.
The Hiapad Hi-802 looks exactly the same?
Hi,
do we know if we can use the GK802 fw on a Hi802 stick?
I believe I have placed my order to quick and I took the Hi802 for its design rather then the GK802
So any chance to use the GK802 updates/fws?
Thanks
Amazing, quad core in a stick, I will need to look into this. Thanks OP.
EDIT: didn't realize my topic w already discussed and answered. That's what i get for researching on my phone. Removed...
Broken Recovery Button:
deadhp1,
Could you post a card image with your new rooted firmware and updates. Then, I could dd on to the internal card? If I can not get the image I can not update my new device. My button is broke.
full internal micro-sd image posted up on my forum
http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=1113
It's got the 12-13-2012 update applied to it, rooted, and play store fixed.
I'll try to make a new full image with the 12-20-2012 update applied tomorrow sometime!
In other news I'm making a bit more headway into getting linux to run on this thing. I still need to build a properly working kernel and uboot.
I soldered serial lines to my beta GK802 and am using that for testing. My production GK802 is mostly stock and kicking butt!
great work deadhp1, ur the reason im getting/trying to get this, Any 1 here want to explain uk taxes/fees for this item to a Recognized Contributor aka me?
I got one for baby. Now I wonder, did anyone test this keyboard (with gyroscope) with the GK802 yet? Here is a YouTube clip. Someone claims the two don't get to well together, but I would love to see the gyro functions in games etc.

I haven't tried the RC11 model(I'm not a big fan of air mice), but I do have the RC12 with the touchpad(no air mouse). It works great with the GK802.
I can't see why the RC11 air mouse wouldn't work. It's almost the same model...even the box is the same.
Is this deal for essentially the same device? (They say 4 days left, and it's a whole dollar cheaper!) The branding is different but the specs look the same.

Hey
What do you guys think about the PiPO W2F 8 inch Tablet Intel Z3735F Quad Core Windows 8.1? I saw it to a nice price at Gearbest. It comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM that seems to be okay for a 8 inch tablet. It also has support for HDMI and OTG which I find very important for a tablet.
Due to Chinese manufacturers, the market of mobile electronic devices overflowed by cheap Windows 8 tablets. Devices of well-known brands cannot compete with the same quality, but lower prices of Chinese products. The famous Hong Kong brand PiPO presented 8-inch Windows tablet PiPO W2F.
The 5MP camera lens and stereo speaker’s grilles are located on the back cover. The Start button and volume lever are on the long side. On the shorter fringe located interface connectors: 3.5 mm audio, microUSB / OTG, miniHDMI, power jack, the microphone hole, slot for TF card and On button.
The screen also impressive. It is based on IPS matrix with resolution 1280x800px. Display supports ten-finger multitouch and reproduces pictures, videos and dynamic games with reasonable quality.
The basis of W2’s hardware is the quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F, made on 22 nm technology process. It clocked at 1.8 GHz and appropriate to Windows.
Video System integrated into processor’s cores and supports high-quality graphics in mid-class games. The RAM reaches 2GB. The tablet can simultaneously perform multiple tasks due to good balance of a hardware. With PiPO W2F users can listen a music, read e-books, work with documents and communicate in chats. The tablet can support all online games, and many other ones, except games, requiring a strong hardware and discrete graphic card.
The internal SSD storage capacity is 32 GB. Volume of memory can be increased by using the TF card. OTG interface allows you to connect a mouse, keyboard, external hard drive and other devices to the tablet. PiPO W2F can be charged from a computer or laptop via USB.
Wide range of Windows 8.1 applications and Office 365 with an annual subscription will make a work with PiPO W2F more comfortable and efficient.
PiPO W2F has FM-receiver, and all necessary sensors. The tablet can play high quality music and video.
With HDMI interface, the tablet turns to a video player by connecting it to a TV or home theater. Wireless technologies are implemented in the tablet via Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth modules. The device has no GPS, because it is a feature of W line of PiPO gadgets.
The battery capacity of 4500 mAh ensures continuous operation of the device up to 9 hours in active mode, or two days in standby mode.
PiPO W2F – the device with good performance, which is runs on the latest Windows 8.1 system with an annual subscription to Office 365. It seems to be a best buy at the market.​

Teclast X80h is the answer. Drop all the other chinese brands apart from Teclast. In Russia Teclast is by far the most popular one. Imagine why.
Post #1 also now updated with a video of the PiPO W2F, so far it is running good, I also own the Voyo Winpad A1 Mini, but the W2F is thinner and for some reason actually better to hold in the hand.

Hi! I am very interested in buying the Pipo W2F but I have some questions,
Have you found a good case for it? because I'm not able to find anyone.
What tablet do you prefer? Do you recommend it? (Voyo, teclast, Honda...)
Are you happy with this tablet?
Could you take some photos with both cameras?
And the last question,would you wait to Cherry Trail? (new Intel processor)
Thanks a lot!

I have not found a case for it sorry. I like this PiPO very much and happy with it, but the Voyo is also good (but higher priced).
To be honest, the camera is nothing special, only ok for a little Skype etc. don't expect too much from cameras in tablets.
I would not wait for the Cherry Trail, because there will always come something new, and then you can wait forever.
I've been thinking of buying Pipo w2 because the processor is better.... Thanks for your answer.
Because the USB of W2 is 3.0 and PiPo W2F USB port is 2.0.

Ye if you want to pay some more then you could go for the W2 I guess, but the difference is not big, they are almost the same.
yes I know by the way I've just found that Chuwi is going to release his Chuwi Vi8 Super Edition, it comes with HDMI and dual boot with android 4.4.4....
Thanks for your reply!

Actually I have the PIPO W2 with the USB 3.0. Despite the driver stating it is an USB3.0 I had tested with several USB 3 thumbdrive,hard disk and all but none of them work at USB 3 speed. .__." bummer~

Strange portrait mode forced onto secondary display
Anybody with the W2F experiencing problems with the secondary display being forced into portrait mode when connecting via HDMI? Not sure if it is a problem with windows or the tab (I have an Asus T100 as well and have never had this happen before).
Thanks a lot for those review videos, they really helped me make up my mind :good::good:

Most of the drivers will be downloaded automatically from Windows Update, or are included in Windows.
You charge it from the USB port, it is fast enough even if you use it.

no idea about root for android yet. will update if i find some info about that, go look at post #22
credits go to @gecko16300 for finding this
"I think I found a way to root the tablet !
I’ve found it here : http://www.tablette-chinoise.net/forum/chuwi-vi10-t7085 (which is from http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...p-cwm-t2975096)
– Install adb / fastboot drivers for the tablet
– Enable USB debugging
– Download SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
– Download IntelAndroid-FBRL (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722644693)
– Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip to the tablet
– Uncompress IntelAndroid-FBRL on your computer
– Launch “launcher.bat” from IntelAndroid-FBRL folder
– Type “ACCEPT”
– Check if device status and device information are OK, then type “T3″
– The tablet should reboot in fastboot mode, and after another auto-reboot, CWM recovery should show up
– Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip

Remove android and merge with windows partitions
found on techtablet.com and with the post of @roguealcatraz post #140
roguealcatraz said:
Hi all,
I just want to share that i found a way to resize partition in Windows. Personally i don't have reason to keep my android in my Chuwi Vi10, so i decide to delete Android partition and merging the unused disk space for Windows system without reinstalling whole operating system. i thought it was easy at first, but then it is not as easy as it should be.
I will describe step by step, but firstly what you need is to download EASEUS Partition Master 10.5 first. This program have more abilities than Windows built-in disk management. Trial version won't work, so here is a link to download it :
Chuwi Partition Tools
You must learn how to use EASEUS, because any changes you want to make (such as deleting, merging, creating partition) is NOT performed real time. First you choose what you want to do with a partition, and click 'Apply' button in the left top toolbar, otherwise the changes will not be made. Now please make sure you click that button in every step.
From windows, press 'Windows+R', type compmgmt.msc and Enter. At the left handside, click Disk Management. You will now see many partition. Please pay attention to EFI system partition and Recovery (OEM). STRICTLY DO NOT TOUCH THIS TWO important partition. This contain your EFI bios and recovery image of Windows in case you screwed up your system.
Now after you notice that two important partition, DELETE all RAW partition, EXCEPT those aforementioned EFI and Recovery OEM partition (Warning!!! This step will lose ability to use Android in Vi10). These RAW partition is consist of several small 16,32,64 MB, one 7 GB and two 1GB partition. After deleting it, you will have a 9.2 GB un-allocated space now.
CREATE new NTFS partition from aforementioned un-allocated space, the result should be around 9.2 GB. Click 'Apply'
The new partition will be positioned in the left of Windows partition (C:\), with a small 128 MB partition in between them. Restart your computer now.
DELETE that small 128MB partition and CREATE new NTFS partition from unallocated space. Do not click Apply yet, we will apply step 4-6 all at once.
MERGE the 128 MB and 9.2 GB in order to make a new partition which located side by side with the Windows system partition. You will now have a new 9.3 GB NTFS continuous partition.
Merge the 9.3 GB to Windows partition. ALL operations in step 4-6 will be executed all at once by EASEUS, and since these operation involving pre-boot formatting things, it will be done not in Windows, but after POST (Chuwi Chinese writing logo) and just before log into Windows. This required multiple reboots so please make sure your battery is above 75%
The final result will be like this:
Disclaimer: This method works for me. I will not be responsible for any data loss, corruption, damage, world war or apocalypse caused by said method. Always backup your important data before doing this. Even better if you can view this method in different PC so you can concentrate in re-partitioning your tablet.

sold it for 120euro in 2015/start 2016. and here im again 2017 got my self a 64gb chuwi vi10 for 57euro from igogo refurbished. (but chinees windows 8..)

Hi!
Thanks for your review
I have also bought the chuwi vi10 at aliexpress on the 18th may. Waiting to receive it, I'm looking for info about how to root it. It seems that kingo root could work with this processor...
@jugo00 noproblem
i thought it would be nice to have a thread about this tablet.
can't wait to have it in my hands. ) i have a 8" voyo a1 but it's just like nah its plastic and i don't know didn't like it maybe i will like it again with touchscreen lol. (broke my touchscreen by standing on it so ordered a new one it should come around the same time as the chuwi vi10)
the chuwi looks very nice in design and materials glass on both sides. etc. + android and 2 usb ports that made me buy it and the faster z3736F cpu.

Kingo root or vroot should work fine, I'll be testing this on mine soon and will share the results.
@reggiexp $149 lucky! If I knew they were gong to have a sale I would have waited. I paid $176 usd and then 38 euros in taxes to get it a bit earlier for review. Ouch!
Hi!
I have bought this tablet the 1st may, also by aliexpress, and I received it yesterday.
It looks good, nice finishing. It comes with an adapter for EU Plug.
Actually, I just downloaded french translation and updates for Win8, no software installed (just an Android game to try : Terra Battle).
Win 8 looks clear of third party applications (except InsydeQ2S, that seems to be the dualOS system), but on Android there are some Chinese applications that crash sometimes and I would like to know if I can uninstall them ? I can post screenshot if you want.
Put a TF card is not really easy as it need to be deep inserted before mechanism lock it... but my 64Go TF Card is recognized by Win8 but not by Android (default exFAT), I need to try other FS, unless you know what it need ?
I can't help you for the root, but if you want to try something, just tell me and I will do my best.
Tonight, I plan to try some benchmark like Antutu...
I'm not really fluent in English, so I'm sorry for the mistakes
@Hendrickson hahahah you toke DHL? i learned my lesson no dhl for me. did it with my voyo a1. payed 17euro for shipping. +18 euro douane. + 12 euro again for dhl (10euro that they pay the douane in advance + 2euro for the file sh!t)
never again. i learned my lesson. yep 133euro im happy. still waiting for aliexpress to ship the tablet
okay good luck. hope it works
@ShadyGuard ow cool yeah got a response that it will include a eu adaptor after 10 times of asking...
me i can't help you with the format of sd i have no idea normally i saw in videos that you can uninstall apps on android the chinese apps. ahaha de parler francais c'est mieux mais faut faire l'effort ici de parler anglais.
after all updates how much space you have left internal? just curious.
Hi, 10.5GB free in Windows and Android 6.5GB free so not the best, much better with a 64GB eMMC. I haven't installed any Windows updates. Disabled that, I always do on 32GB tablets because it eats up the free space. You could loose another 2GB easy!
I only shipped it out via DHL to get the tablet a bit earlier for review purposes for my site otherwise I would have opted for the slow boat out of China.. In Spain I have to pay 21% tax and then 15 euros to DHL for their rip off customsk fee. , it's criminal!
I have the Windows drivers dumped here if anyone is thinking of doing a clean install: http://techtablets.com/chuwi-vi10/downloads/
As for rooting the tablet, no luck. Both Vroot and Kingo root fail and even a root tool box for bay trail tablets doesn't work. I'm lost as to how to root it and don't want to spend to much time trying to get root. 160 DPI on the screen makes it look blurry, a better DPI should be used here for sure.
@Hendrickson
Okay thanks. Yeah thats realy not much space, yeah still 64gb tablets are rare. Or expensive
Yeah dhl are assh0les, sure you have your package in 7-9days sure but there still crap for asking money for no real reason.
You are the dude that reviews the vi10 on tech tablet? Very nice reviews you make. Very good channel. Could you make a starcraft 2 video In a arcade game.? I know it playes but i Tryed it of a external drive via usb hub and otg on my voyo a1.
Damn no root yet. Hope some one will come with a solution.
Sure, I'll see if I can try Starcraft 2, just need to download it first. I don't think it will run it to well to be honest. Yes those are my videos, they are part of the review process I do for these tablets.
I'll have to use an external drive due to the 15GB install size being over the available free space on the tablet.

Okay man very good reviews. For the core m tablets and surface always nice to know what the chipset is capable of.
I think i will buy a sd card 64gb Kingston 80write 90read speed. 32euro. It is the fastest i found for a good pricr
But yeah if you could try it. That will be great. (i know heroes of storm doesn't work. 2gb ram is not enough for it, i tryied with a home pc with a good gpu and dualcore cpu it lagged like hell, even if they say you need 2gb ram minimum, its isn't enough.) starcraft should play on low. If it will good i dont know. Problèm with external is that speeds are not always fast.
Fast microsd cards aren't needed unless you have another PC that can take advantage of that speed. All these tablets microsd cards slots max out at 21-23mb/s read and write speeds.

Okay thanks good to know so a simple 20mb/s write and 40mb/s read sd card is all i need. Higher speed won't work?
Hum did you try faster sd cards in chinees tablets? Ones that have more than 40mb/s? Or has the sd card slot same speeds as the usb 2.0 ports?
All 20mb? That sucks. Tought sd card had faster working speeds.

Yep, I think it's normal, try formatting the card in FAT32, or format it directly with Android, Windows should recognize it.

They are faster... Only if the tablet can support this speed ! They will work at a slower speed
It would be nice to make a CrystalDiskMark test to check high speed cards !
Anyone tried 128Gb cards ?
@gecko16300
yuppp i hope hendrickson could make a sd card speed test on the chuwi vi10.
i did try a 128gb sandisk in my voyo a1 once? but just to check if it was real, didn't save the speed somewhere...
@reggiexp Sorry but I have installed some apps... so I try to calculate the free space after updates without this apps, it's about 7.95Go/14.3Go
@gecko16300 Yes, I format it directly with Android, it's FAT32...
@ShadyGuard don't worry, just curious. someone else already give me a answer . 8gb free after updates?
i know on my moms danew dualboot android 4.2 and windows there was not much left. and now after all the updates it's like 1gb. really bad. but i think i will need clean up the hdd.
@reggiexp Yes, 8gb free after updates.

No idea, Play works for me and so does the official keyboard I just got. Not sure what else you could try? Ask your reseller what they recommend or get a refund and swap it for one that works?
Nice keyboard by the way, it's a step up from the Pipo W1/W3/W3F keyboards.

CHUWI Vi8 Plus Unboxing, Performance, Battery, Camera review

Now i would like to share Chuwi VI8 Plus tablet pc review with you. This is the windows 10 OS tablet pc, which be the other version of Chuwi VI8 dual boot model. Chuwi VI8 Plus is built in Type C port to be the nice version for most users. Chuwi Tablet PC has made big progress in the past few years. It has provided us not only the nice and affordable price, but also the ultra wonderful performance.

Chuwi VI8 plus highlights overview:
Operating system:*Windows10 OS
Display:*8 Inch*IPS*1280*800, 10 Points Capacitive touch screen
CPU:*Intel Cherry Trail X5 Z8300 Quad Core 1.84GHz CPU
Storage:*2GB DDR3 RAM + 32GB eMMC ROM, T-Flash 64GB max
Dual cameras:*Front 2.0MP + Rear 2.0MP
Functions:*Support Bluetooth 4.0/OTG/HDMI/WiFi/Type-C
Build & Quality:
Chuwi VI8 Plus is made of plastic material, it has USB Type C port, the demension has 211.2mm length, 123.2 width and 9.3mm height, it weigh 350g which is easy to handle and take or bring. It has HDMI and Type C port which has much progress than that of Chuwi VI8 tablet pc.
It has 8inch 1280 *800 screen display and support 10 points capacitive touch screen. To some degree, the screen size is reasonable for a convenient tablet pc. And the screen resolution also gives us the nice video playing or games playing. I don't have to buy a ipad mini to spend much money with low performance. This Chuwi VI8 plus can gives us that ipad which will not provide. And Chuwi VI8 plus has supported Windows 10 OS , which is the latest OS like a real PC.You can treat this tablet pc like a computer to do office work, and personal recreation.
Therefore, i am so satisfied with this Chuwi VI8 Plus with this kind of design and quality. BTW, the screen also responses so quickly.
CPU and Internal storage:
Chuwi VI8 plus this time is powered by Intel Cherry Trail X5 Z8300 Quad Core 1.84GHz CPU and 2GB DDR3 RAM + 32GB eMMC ROM, and it can be expandable to 64GB by TF card. As you know Cherry Trail X5 is the lastest chipset of Intel company. and the performance will be compared with a computer. Altought it just has Quad core processor, when you paly games , you can feel the outstanding power than those dual core tablet PC. So you don't have to worry about the playing speed. And it has RAM 2GB and ROM 32GB which can support download many apps as i want. Of course, i just download the useful apps. I am afraid it will run slowly. Meanwhile, if you think the storage is not enough for you to use, you can add the tf card to expand the storage to 64GB. i bet it will be defintely large enough to use.
Dual cameras:*
Chuwi vi8 plus has improved the dual camera with front 2.0mp and Rear 2.0mp camera, due to the last tablet Chuiw VI8 with only 0.2mp front camera, this time Chuwi VI8 plus has 2.0mp front camera with can be used well in facing time or video chat. Of course i can also take selfies by it. And the back camera 2.0 mp also let me take some vivid pictures, although it can't be matched the smartphone with 13MP camera.
Battery Life:
With only a 4000 mAh battery inside is it enough? Using Battery Bar Pro, your looking around 5-6hours hours of normal web, video and doc use depending on what your doing and screen brightness of course. Personally I would have liked an hour or so more here, but it seems size or most likely cost constraints came into play in terms of battery capacity. But overall it’s good for an 8 inch Windows tablet.
Final Thought:
I am so satisfied with Chuwi VI8 Plus right now, i spend less and get a windows 10 OS tablet pc to support USB Type C charging. It also has HDMI port which is the one of most features i like. Of course , i don't know if you like the 8 inch screen size. So how do you feel about it?
Great specs for the price. I would like a bigger battery, but 4000mAh are enough. And what about connectivity? Does it have an HDMI? Also, are there any other versions such as dual boot (Android+Windows) as the Chuwi Vi8 or does it come just with Windows?

yeah, it supports HDMI port, and Onda V820w CH has similar specs at Chuwi VI8 Plus. you can compare them and make the choice. It supports Windows 10 OS and Android os, too. Any other idea ?
I have a Chuwi Wi10, and it's amazing if you unistall Android. I have installed Win10 and run flawlessly. Vi8 plus won't be the exception.
What's the difference between this and the other CHUWI VI8 that came out earlier (non-Plus)?

Chuwi VI8 is the old version, it has Windows 8.1 OS, and Chuwi vi8 plus has the Windows 10 OS. Better performance.

Oh ok, that's a nice upgrade, I really like the USB type-C integration, I always get so nervous when I've to put my tablet on charge because I feel like the proprietary charging connector could break any time.
Is this on sale already?

Yeah, i guess so, you can check and compare, then make the choice, but USB Type C connection is an outstanding feature for most users. This is the new progress for Chuwi VI8 Plus tablet pc .

CHuwi HI10 has supported Windows 10 OS itself. there is no Android version right now.
Share the real picture of Chuwi VI8 Plus with you.
Looks pretty nice, is the USB type-C port surrounded by metal? And what's that other port?
looks great
i especielly like the usb-c port, since just a month ago i had to replace my old phone due to a broken usb port. this looks like a very good value for money, sold in under 100$ in geekbuying.

Thanks, it seems very neat. At that price tag, I guess I have to give it a try.
How can I backup the Windows 10 rom? Is there an Android rom available? (I'm not looking for dual boot)
You can see in TechTablets.
Hello guys,
Have any of you tried this tablet for reading?
I am looking for a cheap tablet to use as an e-reader. This one seems to have a high-quality display on paper, but is it really good, does it strain your eyes?
Also could anybody tell if there is any difference between Chuwi and other similar Chinese brands that you can find on geekbuy or gearbest, like Onda or Techlast?
not good for reading in my opinion
the screen is too dark for me and becomes darker after about 140° viewing angle
windows 10 is not my way by many aspects. Anyway.
Is there a possibility to flash an android system on Chuwi vi8 plus?
In Techtablets you can find info about that.

Thanks for the info. I kinda like W10, and I also need it in my tablet, in order to have some productivity on the move.
Maybe I will have to go for the more expensive MI Pad 2. It's screen seems way better, and aspect ratio 4:3 is more suitable for reading.

Thank's, cables can be easy hidden on the glass side, nice holes overall
but if you mean the back of the case, it looks more like a over stuffed box Not so much place for all the hardware and cables, especially when you have a non modular power supply

U got a MSi I got a MSi too

			
				
A few days after the 3060ti release I looked on pccg (Aussie retailer) I had my cash there ready to buy. ($1000AUD). I looked for the cheapest sale, finding one for $749 and I dropped it thinking it was too expensive and not worth it... BOOIIII I was stupid. 6 months later and I'm still crying I didn't just get it.
You build is mean af tho. Amazing job. I would defo look at some gas monitor stands tho and trying to get a similar sized monitor (height wise) to that super mega juicer ultrawide you got there.

Really nice curved ThinkVision monitor. I think the screen is now so wide that you really need at least three computer mice

I bought it for just 529€ in 12/2020. Today I can sell it for 700+€ if I wish. That is really crazy and mostly driven by the mining scene

Haha, no, they're for 2 notebooks connected to the monitor as well. The monitor itself isn't that big compared to 55" ones from Samsung for example. Those are really beasts and I don't like it cause you have to sit farer away compared to the 44" with 3840x1200 resolution. Also the fact, that it has much more possibilities to connect devices and charge them too.

In Australia, the 3060ti is completely out of stock but is priced more than a 6700xt, costing about $1300AUD and over. Where as every other GPU, similar pricing scheme but they're all in-stock
I like your cable routing, mine is similar but not quite as tidy.

The cables are indeed stuffed at the back of the case and there's no space at all. The side panel sits tide as well due to the cables

Yeah I can see its quite a bundle lol
Once you get rid of those SATA drives you can definitely make some more room.
Hopefully I will get round to posting my build soon, just waiting for a GPU to come along.
Do you have pump whine or strange sounds?
ARCTIC has a link to this really long video about mounting coolers. Skip to 17:30 if you want to see what they say about tubes up for a front mount.

The fact that the manfacture had a big peice of paper saying watch this video before you mount your cooler scared me. I wondered how much it really affects it. I get what they are saying though. Good to hear you have no issues.

Yeah I know this, but since I don't recognize any strange behavior(vaporized cooling liquid) I won't turn the radiation upside down cause this requires that I cut out some parts of the lower case otherwise the fittings won't fit into the lower case
