Chuwi Hi10 X1: Affordable Windows tablet gets CPU upgrade

Chuwi is expanding its tablet and convertible lineup with a new configuration of the Hi 10 X1. To be more exact, it is now available with an Intel N150, while the previous model only featured the slower N100. This rather minor CPU upgrade does not change the intended use case, and the Hi10 X1 is only designed for applications that don’t need much processing power.

That being said, the Chuwi tablet still features 8GB RAM clocked at 4,800MHz and a 256GB SSD, which is rather small but can be sufficient for some users. However, the SSD utilizes the slower SATA interface, and not the modern PCIe standard. The Hi10 X1 runs on Windows 11 and can run countless x86 applications without any issues.

Moreover, the Chuwi Hi10 X1 sports an IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 800, which is not particularly sharp. Prospective buyers also shouldn’t expect a high brightness or contrast ratio. Meanwhile, the main camera has a resolution of 8MP, while the 5MP front camera should be suitable for video calls.

The spec sheet further mentions WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and a decent port selection including USB Type-C with video output and USB PD support. Alternatively, the Windows tablet offers micro HDMI, USB Type-A and a headphone jack. A keyboard can be purchased separately and connected via a five-pin connector.

At its official online store, Chuwi is asking $209 for its latest tablet, while the aforementioned keyboard costs an additional $30. Last but not least, the Hi10 X1 comes with a 3,400mAh battery, weighs around 1.34 pounds and is 0.4 inches thick.
