The curtain of CES 2018 has fallen a few days ago
and during the show, Chuwi announced 3 of their new devices for this year:
Chuwi SurBook Pro powered by Intel Gemini Lake processor, Hi9 Air tablet
equipped with Mediatek 8176 SoC running on Android 8 Oreo out of the box, and
GBox Pro (mini PC) that comes with Intel i5 processor. And now they seem to be
getting ready for another Mini PC called GBOX, which will be loaded with the
first global Gemini Lake N4100 chipset.
So, why Gemini Lake N4100 chip? Because it offers up
to 50% performance improvement compared to the previous gen CPU, DDR4 support
for faster data transfer, 4K UHD HEVC 10-bit support, and up to 2.1 times of
web browsing experience. Also, it has up to 3.2 times faster graphics, integrated
Gigabit WiFi, VP9 hardware decoding, and up to 10 hours of battery life,
compared to the last-gen chipset.
And unlike other products before, this time Chuwi
wants the users to decide about the product’s design and configuration. So, you
can choose one out of three designs proposed with each one made of different
materials (engineering plastics, aluminum – magnesium alloy, carbon fiber). In
addition, you get to choose the RAM amount, storage capacity, storage expansion
choices, provided ports (HDMI, VGA, Type-C, RJ45, USB ), and even the operating
system (Windows, Windows+Ubuntu).
So if you are interested in such kind of product and
want to have a say in its overall production, here’s your chance to shine. Vote
and make it happen exactly the way you desire. And as always, Chuwi will run a
giveaway on the site.
