preface

Chiwei has enjoyed a certain popularity among gaming enthusiasts since the period when the Android tablet was popular. The Chiwei Vi10 launched in 2015 has attracted me to buy one since its 3736f processor, dual standard USB and double-sided glass design exceeded the same price. Now CherryTrail's X5 processor has become popular. Chiwei has launched a more excellent new generation of 10 inch tablet - ChiBook. Its new generation Z8300 processor, full angle rotary keyboard, all metal body and Type-C interface are all eye-catching features. The author was lucky to get a HiBook from Lei Feng and ZAKER for trial use. Next, we will bring you a detailed evaluation of HiBook.

1. Unpacking record - the body of "steel" under simple packaging

Chiwei's consistent yellow cardboard box packaging is simple and clean. In addition to the LOGO on the front of the box, the familiar Intel inside below indicates that it is equipped with Intel processors.

On one side of the packing box is the relevant information of the machine, including capacity, color, bar code, anti-counterfeiting mark and serial number. What I got should be the test model, not marked in the capacity and color; The main selling points of the machine are marked on the other side.

The main character appears and is wrapped in a plastic bag. On the right side is the accessory box, which has a semicircular cut mark for easy removal; Remove the plastic bag, and the screen is as smooth as a mirror; The author also found an interesting little detail. The protective layer of the self adhesive film was printed with "Tear up the new fun here". The lively writing style made people laugh.

Accessory box and its contents. Put HiBook aside for a moment and look at other items in the package: the charger is well made and weighs slightly when held in hand. What makes the author's eyes shine is that its output has reached 5V-3A, that is, 15w charging power, which is the same as the fast charging power of existing flagship mobile phones, leaving most competitors staying at 5V-2A behind. The charger is manufactured by Boyi Times, AC100-240V, 50Hz/60Hz input means it can still be used in Singapore and other countries; Close up of the data cable, Type-c interface, more rounded, no positive and negative distinction, no need to confirm whether the data is inserted in the right direction when charging, easy and convenient. Good design can liberate people, as if it should be.

Pick up the tray and see a kraft paper seal; The kraft paper seal contains instructions, product test report, warranty card and certificate of conformity.

2. Appearance workmanship - considerate details, grand and steady

The front is a standard standard Windows flat panel design, with logo key on the right, LED indicator light and light sense on the upper left corner, and the camera on the upper center.

Close up of the front 2 megapixel camera and logo key; At the lower left corner of the fuselage, you can see the shiny trimming made by CNC technology; In the middle of the bottom of the body is the docking interface, which is used to connect the keyboard.

Bottom list

The main interfaces of the whole machine are arranged on the left side of the fuselage. From left to right are 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI interface, MIC (microphone), MicroUSB interface, USB Type-c interface (USB3.0 standard), TF card slot and left speaker; There is no interface on the right side of the fuselage except for the right speaker; There are only volume+- and power buttons on the top.

On the left side of the top of the fuselage are the power button and volume button, which should be made of engineering plastic coated with metallic paint.

The back of the fuselage is silver gray, and it is dignified. The right side is marked with the properties of each interface. People who are new to using the tablet need not worry about not being able to distinguish the interface. There are LOGO, Intel LOGO and some parameters of the machine in the middle and lower part.

Give a close-up of the corner of HiBook.

The author also bought the original HiBook keyboard, which arrived late, so the shooting environment and light are not the same. Next, let's show the complete HiBook form after the keyboard is connected.

Closed corner, The keyboard and the HiBook main body are integrated in an atmosphere without visible color difference.

In the rear corner, you can see that there is a standard USB interface, and there is also one on the symmetrical side. There are two standard USB interfaces in total. After the USB interface is inserted into the USB flash disk, the shaking range is very small, but the author also found that there is a gap at the right side of the USB connection, which may be due to the incomplete early process.

The hand-held display shaft is made of engineering plastic with almost no visible color difference.

The HiBook in complete form is made of alloy material on the C side of the keyboard, with a ring of bright edges machined by CNC around it, which greatly improves air supply; The four corners of the keyboard area and the lower left and right corners of the entire C surface are equipped with rubber protective pads to effectively prevent screen wear; A power indicator light and case indicator light can also be seen near the right end of the upper right corner shaft. There is also a ring of highlight around the touch panel, which is a beautiful design; There are many common keys on the keyboard. At the same time, the Fn key can lock the screen with one key and temporarily close the touch pad.

3. Brief analysis of configuration - balanced and reasonable configuration, high cost performance steel gun

In terms of configuration, Chiwei HiBook adopts ATOM-X5 Z8300 four core 64 bit processor, which is based on the 14nm process and has 12 EU units. Compared with the same level products last year, the performance of Chiwei HiBook has been comprehensively improved; In terms of screen, HiBook uses a 10.1-inch OGS full fit IPS screen, and officially claims that the NTSC color gamut has reached 120%; DDR3L 4G+64G large memory and large storage space; In terms of connectivity, docking keyboard is supported, and the original spindle keyboard is officially available for purchase. The body provides HDMI, MicroUSB and USB Type-C interfaces, which are relatively rich; 2 million+5 million cameras; 6600mAh battery is equipped. In general, the configuration is medium high, and the price performance of 1099 is very high.

4. Performance test - perfect daily application, metal heat dissipation

① Android

Here, we use the common rabbit to test its performance. HiBook has scored 57188 points, which is in the middle of the current Android devices. Running points does not mean experience, but also system optimization. HiBook uses native Android 5.1, so it is always smooth.

It can be seen that HiBook has a very large memory. After opening the rabbit under Android, it can use about 3.4G, which is one of the benefits of pure native system. In terms of storage space, 9.72G is identified, because the storage space of Android and Windows is isolated from each other.

②Windows

Master Lu's score is as above, for your reference. As a tablet computer, 56940 points belong to good results.

The manufacturer has identified some problems at present, and wireless Internet access is also supported.

This is the machine temperature change curve under high load operation during the run in period, which is basically stable at about 63 ℃; It feels cool when you use it. The excellent heat dissipation effect of the metal body is satisfactory.

This is the speed curve when copying large files through the 2.0 interface. It is excellent and reaches the peak. Because the Type-c interface OTG is inconvenient, it has not been tested for the time being. I believe it will be faster.

5. Screen performance - eye pleasing, high definition, large viewing angle, cold screen

The overall color is very bright and the backlight is even, which belongs to the cold screen. The viewing angle is very large, and there is almost no color deviation at a large angle. Normal use will not cause color change at an oblique angle. This screen can give 95 points.

6. Imaging effect - simple recording is acceptable, and taking photos requires mobile phones

The author uses the camera that comes with Windows to take photos. Here are some samples for you to enjoy

It can be seen from the sample that the detail and glare control of the rear 500W of HiBook is stronger than that of the front 200W, but it is only suitable for simple recording due to hardware limitations. It is recommended to take photos mainly by carrying mobile phones.

7. Sound quality experience - poor external effect, full of surprises inside

The test was carried out in Windows10 system, and the player was Netease Cloud Music Metro version. The sense of hearing is inevitably subjective. Here is my personal experience.

① External release

Chiwei HiBook Adopted AAC Dual speakers, nice to see Vi10 The advantages of are retained. When the machine is placed horizontally, the speakers are located at the bottom of the left and right sides, CNC The sound outlet holes of are arranged neatly.

use HiBook Released to California Hotel Live In the sound test, the left and right speakers played a stereo effect. The audience's applause and instruments were clearly separated, but the overall sound was not mellow enough. The high frequencies were somewhat harsh (but not broken). The harsh feeling became more obvious with the increase of the volume, and the low-frequency diving was not obvious. It belongs to the level of sufficiency Vi10 Slightly poor.

② Internal placement

The headphone hole is located at the upper left corner when it is placed on the horizontal screen of the machine AKG K550 Headset monitoring HIFI The earphone is put into the test. AKG K550 It is more professional and accurate, and can be used as the evaluation standard of playback equipment. Therefore AKG K550 Shall prevail.

Wearing earphones, the listening sense of the hotel in California immediately upgraded, which surprised the author. stay Vi10 The problem of excessive bottom noise (usually referred to as current sound, Zizi sound) occurs on the HiBook The performance is excellent, not only can't hear the flaw, but also has a big sound field. Here I want to commend you.

8. Dual system interface and its switching - dual systems have their own advantages, and switching is convenient and fast

① Android

System default desktop

Notification bar, settings and about tablet page. In the pull-down switch on the notice bar, there is a switch to Windows button. Click once to restart to Windows, or long press the power key will also bring up the switch to Windows option, which is very simple.

②Windows

The interface of the original factory after startup is as shown in the figure. With pure Windows10, only one SwitchNOW software is used to switch between two systems. Click and confirm to restart and enter Android system.

The author will not repeat native Android and genuine Windows. Through practical experience, the dual system switching is very simple. The switching between the two systems can be completed in one minute. The two systems exist independently and do not interfere with each other.

9. Common software usage scenarios - not only chat news, but also learn to work

Android

Usually we use the Android system to chat and read news. The gene of mobile Internet makes Android more suitable for these tasks.

The QQ HD version of the necessary software is more suitable for tablet use, convenient and fast, and Tencent's one-stop service is in place. The actual experience is smooth without frame dropping. It seems that the compatibility is already good.

Excellent information software ZAKER, HD version is not only large font, but also specially optimized layout. The actual experience is also silky and smooth.

Windows

Today's Windows is more advanced, but it also adds many new elements. A wide variety of Metro applications are available in the Windows Store. However, it may be due to the domestic network environment. Sometimes it is normal that the download speed is unstable or even unable to start downloading. Microsoft's approach to Metro is similar to Apple's, closed. However, it also supports traditional EXE software, so it has both constraints and freedom. It is recommended that you experience both versions of the software, and then keep the one you are comfortable with. Next, the author will show HiBook's software experience in the two states of life entertainment and study work.

Life entertainment:

The built-in weather application, with dynamic magnetic patches, is pure and easy to use, and is worth preserving. You can easily get useful weather information.

With nostalgia, the author tried to use HiBook to call the Red Alert - one of the memories of childhood; Now HiBook can be easily driven as a tablet computer. Overall smooth, better effect with keyboard~more than 30 frames by visual inspection.

I have nothing to do to watch movies, so I can relax after studying. HiBook's excellent 10.1 inch screen can't be wasted~The author first opened the 720P Dead Serve, playing it completely smoothly, and dragging the progress bar back and forth without pressure; After that, the author skipped 1080P and directly tested the 4K movie "Crazy Animal City". It was still completely smooth and there was no problem. Praise~

Learning life:

HiBook is not only a large screen entertainment device, but also a mobile productivity tool. The author has installed OFFICE2013 by himself, and the HiBook with keyboard can play a greater role. The paper to be written can be completed directly on HiBook, and it is no longer necessary to carry a computer weighing seven or eight kilograms to the library.

Since you want to write a paper, you need to open many pages at the same time to search for useful information. Thanks to the 4G large memory, there is no pressure to open 10+pages with EDGE browser. You can see that the page has not been reloaded and scrolling up and down is very smooth when you switch back and forth. It is worth mentioning that the HiBook touchpad supports multi touch, and can perform double finger zoom and double finger up and down page sliding operations.

10. Endurance time - to reach official publicity, 6 hours without pressure

The author used 83% of the electricity for one hour and three minutes continuously, and the electricity dropped to 67%, consuming 16% in total. It can be concluded that the endurance under Windows 10 can indeed reach 6 hours.

summary

advantage:

① The quality of the screen is good, and it is far better than the previous generation product Vi10 in terms of resolution and color reproduction;

② Excellent internal effect, pure and clean sound, quite surprising;

③ The metal fuselage is of good workmanship, not too heavy as a whole, rather thin;

④ The space allocation of dual systems is reasonable. The C disk of Windows is about 44G, and the total space of Android is about 10G. Some space is occupied for other partitions, etc;

⑤ Support TF card expansion, support HDMI, and the keyboard has a standard USB on the left and right, with good connectivity;

⑥ Type-C interface does not distinguish between positive and negative, and it is USB3.0 speed.

Disadvantages and suggestions for improvement:

① The rear camera can be considered to improve the lower pixel, or use the rear camera as the front to improve the quality of video calls;

② The machine in the hand of the author should be an engineering machine. The screen is slightly tilted in the lower left corner. The author asked other HiBook users that this is not the case. This is an individual case. The mass production machine should have solved this problem;

③ External tweeters and basses need to be optimized.

Conclusion - Big tablet with cost performance and beauty

      HiBook From both hardware and software, we can see Chiwei's sincerity. In terms of hardware, the light and thin metal body with fine matte surface has excellent hand feel. The grand silver gray color match is more stable than the popular gold color. The rich and forward-looking interface configuration can be called luxurious and highly reductive 1080P The cold screen is attractive, Z8300+4+64 The configuration of is never out of date; On software, genuine Windows And Android support hot and cold switching, one is mobile productivity, the other is entertainment center, with clear division of labor and smooth operation. stay one thousand and ninety-nine In this price range, HiBook The price performance ratio is defined again.

The HiBook Pro, which sells for 1199 yuan, is also a good choice to upgrade its battery to 8000mAh, its screen to full fit technology and its resolution to 2K.

Finally, thanks again for the evaluation opportunity jointly provided by Chiwei, Lei Feng and ZAKER! Thanks for reading. I'm qilelejia. Goodbye.
