At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 last month, Chuwi announced their new flagship tablet, the Chuwi Hi13. The company has announced now that the Windows 10 2-in-1 device will be officially released on February 20, and will be available for pre-orders. Established in 2004, the Shenzhen, China based company is the global tablet strategy partner with Intel and Microsoft.
A follow up of last year’s flagship tablet, the Hi12, the Hi13 sports a higher resolution display and packs in the newer Intel Apollo Lake processor. Made available in Q3 2016, the Apollo Lake platform is Intel’s latest generation of Atom-based notebook SoCs. It features a new x86 microarchitecture as well as a new-generation graphics core for increased performance and video playback.

A tad over-ambitious, but the marketing folks at Chuwi hint that the display on Hi13 matches the one on Surface Book point by point. On paper, that’s not incorrect actually.

The Chuwi HI13 is priced at $369.

These are of course sold separately. What are your thoughts on the Chuwi Hi13? Is this an affordable Windows 2-in-1 that you’d like to get your hands on? Tell us in the comments!
