Chuwi Hi10 X1: Budget tablet features Intel Processor, Windows and also works as a laptop

Chuwi has started offering a new, highly affordable tablet: the Hi10 X1. Unlike many other tablets in the budget segment, the Hi10 X1 doesn’t use an ARM-based SoC and Android as its operating system, instead opting for an Intel processor and Windows. As a result, the system is also well suited to productivity work requiring Windows applications – greatly depending on the user’s needs, of course. Naturally, some compromises in performance were necessary to achieve the budget price. For instance, the Hi10 X1 is powered by an Intel N100, a processor with rather limited performance that offers just four cores and no HyperThreading support. The chip is flanked by 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 256 GB SSD connected via SATA.  

The tablet is 10.1 mm thick (0.4 in) and weighs 610 g (1.3 lb). There is also an optional keyboard attachment for turning the Hi10 X1 into a replacement for a highly compact notebook. Equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, the tablet also supports modern standards for wireless data transfer. By contrast, the screen resolution is not quite up to date, with the 10.1-inch display having a resolution of just 1,280 x 800. However, the Chuwi Hi10 X1 is well outfitted in the software department with Windows 11 Home. The device boasts a fully featured USB-C port as well as a Micro HDMI output and a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port. The battery has a capacity of 3,400 mAh. The Chuwi Hi10 X1 will set you back €199 (US$209) in Europe, but the company has yet to provide pricing information for America. We have previously reviewed a similar model from the manufacturer, the Chuwi Hi10 Max.
