Chuwi Experience so far
I own two Chuwi products, here is my thoughts if it helps. Firstly Oct 2024 I purchased a i3 13 inch free book yoga model on their eBay store as it was on a deal. It took a while to arrive from China (approx. 2 weeks) and came via Royal mail. Within 3 days of using it the fan died, chuwi sent out a replacement fan that I agreed to fit, to save the horrors of sending it back to repair. It arrived 2 weeks later and since fitting the laptop has worked well. the specs for the price are simply unbeatable. However there are some niggling things such as: -Rubber feet pad is loose as they hid screw under it for fan replacement. -There is "coil wine" when plugged in and fully charged, the charger they sent me did not have UK plug. - The plastic space grey finish on the keyboard deck which is plastic rubs off very easily especially on corners. Again on the eBay store I got another good deal on a 10 inch x1 tablet. waited 3 weeks for it only for Evri to loose it when it got to this country, so was fully refunded. I cant comment on this device although Chuwi did respond on eBay within 24 hours each time I queried them. Lastly I brought from their official web page store (as I really did want a 10 inch device to chuck in bag etc) the minibook x n150 (again a yoga/tablet design). This again took 2 weeks to arrive but thankfully arrived with DHL. this product has been great. Extremely quiet and feels better quality than the i3 freebook model. I have used it for over a week now as of this review and no issues other than the full charge coil wine. On both of these devices I have swapped out the power adaptors to a trusted 3rd party supply just for my own peace of mind. The coil wine is present with both official Chuwi and 3rd party power supply. and to stop it simply unplug it for a while to discharge. With those costs included you still wont be getting anywhere near the cost of a equivalent "known" brand on price per specs. They really are a budget friendly option. With all that has happened I am happy with my purchases. Also to note, still cheaper (for both products combined and new power supplies) than a surface tablet which has less specs on ram and storage. my advise with this company if you are thinking of buying products is -research the product thoroughly (YouTube vids/reviews/chuwis own web forum) -buy a power supply you trust be ready to wait a couple to a few weeks for it to arrive -be ready to wait for windows updates to download and install (this can be said of all laptops) -Wait for deals (there's usually a sale running and if not ask them for discount code on their own forum) I hope this has helped
