CHUWI HiBox Mini PC Android 5.1 + Window 10 Dual OS 64bit

The fastest delivery ever!!!

Came to the UA for about 9 days after the payment.

Package of the PC is quite strong, so there is a very low possibility that it can be damaged during delivery. Includes HDMI (about 60-80cm length), 36W power adapter, VESA mount, which i will use to mount the PC on the wall near the TV, but you can use it to mount the PC to the display, and the remote air mouse.

As for the HiBox - already tested Winows. And the bad part is - windows was activated already. So i was not the first one who powered on this PC, but there was a small tag in the box that QA passed, so probably QA needed to activate it to check the goods, so we can live with that (besides you can choose interface language later, so no problems with it).

Have not tested android yet, but not even sure it is needed on such media device, because Kodi on Windows can work flawlessly and there will be no difficulties with NTFS.

As for the media - FullHD video opened absolutely without lags. Due to other reviews seems that the only tough part for this device is a 4k video with very high bitrate. For regular 4k videos it can handle without any problems.

The first thing that I have noted with AirMouse when unpacked - it doesn't use USB dongle now (in prev. versions of MiBox there was a dongle so you had y share one of the three USB ports for it). So that is a good part. as for the experience using it - you will need to get used to it for a while, because I have never used gravity-sensor and gyroscope to navigate the cursor, but in some time there will be no problems navigating with it. But the bad part is that this AirMouse doesn't have right mouse button, so it gives some lack of functionality in windows. I'm sure that it will fit android needs by 100%.

I would recommend to purchase Chuwi HiBox in case you want to get good media device with power of windows 10 (including basic office wirk and internet serfing). It will Pay off every dollar you put in him.

Suggestion

- no right-click on the air-mouse
- a bit warm when on high load
- windows was activated.

Als der Player kam, konnte ich nicht erwarten ihn anzuschliessen und wurde nicht enttäuscht! Die beiden Systeme funktionieren sehr flüssig und ich hatte keine Problemme mir meine Lieblingsoftware zu installieren. Windows 10 Home war bereits registriert und ich bekam sofort jede Menge Updates. Android kann man mit der Chuwi HI12 Methode ohne Problemme rooten. Der Player wirkt sehr stabil und auch die Air Mouse funktioniert hervorragend. WLan verbindung ist sehr gut, aber mein Router steht auch nicht zu weit weg. Die Medien werden ohne rückeln abgespielt und der Player wird nicht besonders warm, obwohl er ohne Lüfter auskommt. Ich bin wirklich sehr zufrieden damit, vor allem wegen der beiden Systemme, die mir sehr viele Möglichkeiten bieten. Das Umschalten zwischen Windows und Android geht sehr gut, aber erfordert immer einen Neustart.

Suggestion

bis jetzt wirklich keine!

1. Windows 10 and Android 5.1 on one device - you can use one wireless keyboard or attached remote
2. remote is not infrared but wireless and it works perfect with on-screen keyboard
3. bracket plus two size of screws - you can use VESA holes or like me the ventilation holes of the TV! The unit comes in and out easily but holds firmly as long as it's not upside down
4. unit works perfectly, updates and is surprisingly fast
5. you can use an app on android to see pendrives or external drives formatted in other systems than FAT so it works!
6. easy system switching

Suggestion

1. only android 5.1 version that is getting old for some of the newest apps
2. long booting time that affects lengthy system switching
3. No Kensington lock hole in the unit to protect it from theft at the office where retailers go around

Considerando il prezzo (comprato a 130€) e le caratteristiche hardware (soprattutto la presenza di 4GB di ram e i 64GB di emmc) direi che è un affare se confrontato con quanto offre il mercato dei minipc con w10 nella fascia di prezzo 100-150€. Il sistema operativo android al momento non l'ho mai utilizzato (non ne vedo la necessità), windows 10 invece lo uso molto e funziona egregiamente. Sia la navigazione che la gestione di contenuti multimediali (kodi, app netflix,app mediaset...) è fluida.
Collegato su porta USB3 hardisk esterno che condivido nella rete di casa senza alcun problema. Sulla partizione windows 10 sono disponibili circa 30GB di spazio libero.

Suggestion

La navigazione delle pagina web "pesanti" potrebbe subire qualche leggero rallentamento
il telecomando in dotazione a mio avviso non è comodissimo, io utilizzo una mini tastiera wireless con touchpad integrato

Splendido box , economico , silenzioso , veloce e doppio boot Android-Windows10 .
Ottimo il telecomando che funge da smartmouse , si accende il box e si arresta con la semplice pressione di un tasto.
In windows 10:
sembra di utilizzare un pc con ssd , incredibile e inaspettata velocità di lettura e scrittura.
E' possibile utilizzarlo per fini multimediali , nevigazione internet , per Office e anche i giochi girano bene.
Android :
Molto veloce e stabile , si installano tutte le app dallo store di google .

Suggestion

Android poco ottimizzato x la visione su tv UHD.

Android va sempre alla massima risoluzione del Tv , anche se si imposta una risoluzione più bassa , al riavvio torna alla massima risoluzione .

Quando si fa lo swithc tra android e windows 10 è necessario aggiornare l'ora di windows 10 .
