[REVIEW] 2in1 Tablet PC (Windows 10 + Android 5.1 ) Intel Z8350 4GB/64GB : CHUWI Hi 10 Plus

Hi, I want to introduce you my new 2in1 Tablet PC : CHUWI Hi 10 Plus. It is a cheap 2in1 Tablet with good specs like Intel Z8350 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, 10.8" IPS Screen, Dual OS (Windows 10 + Android 5.1), magnetic keyboard case etc... I decided to get this tablet because of its good price with good specs. For daily usage like watching videos, surfing the web and social media, playıng games etc. Androıd is a good OS because of its ease of use, low power consumption, many free apps opportunity etc. But for work purposes, when multitasking needed Android is not good for me, I prefer windows for work purposes. I want a windows devıce that I can carry everywhere. Because my laptop is a bit heavy, it is better to get a windows tablet. But of course tablets can't give performance like powerful laptops but with Intel Z8350 and 4GB RAM 64GB ROM with SD card support it is enough for a portable work device. I can easily surf on the web with multiple tabs on chrome and prepare a document on office word. As a side note, it is possible to run .exe applications because full windows is installed, not mobile version of windows. But there is tablet mode option which makes windows easier to use with touch screen.

I will update this artice to explain my experiences when using the tablet. I have used it time by time and my first impressions are very good. I like it! I added benchmark results at the bottom. Also I'm thinking about testing some games performance may be, If I can find enough time.

Lets look at its product page and specs:

My Review Video:

PROS:
Good price (discounted price on gearbest)
Dual OS Windows 10 + Android 5.1
Intel Z8350 (better than older model Z8300)
4GB DDR3L RAM (acceptable for a tablet. I think even Microsoft Surface 3 has also 4GB RAM)
Metal back and bezel
Both Type C and Micro USB ports
Keyboard case with magnetic connection support (usb port and bluetooth are free)
IPS Touch Screen with 1920 x 1280 Resolution
450 nits screen brightness
8400mah battery
Active stylus support (sold seperately)

CONS:
No standard USB port (but you can use Type C to USB adapters to connect USB devices)
cover’s fabric has a soft feeeling but it seems like it will pick up dust and dirt easily
Only about 30GB free space on Windows and 6.82GB on Android side. .This may be not enough but it is possible to get extra storage by adding a microSD card up to 128GB
Charging takes long time with included 5V 3A charger, because battery is huge it is acceptable I think

TEST RESULTS:

Android:

Antutu benchmark
