two thousand and ten In, Apple iPad set off a tablet computer craze all over the world. In 2010, the growth rate of keyword searches on tablet computers reached 1328%, Tablet computers have brought revolutionary influence on the traditional PC industry, even the entire 3C industry. Compared with traditional notebook computers, the biggest advantage of tablet computers is to use touch control instead of traditional keyboards Or mouse, no flip, no keyboard, small enough to fit into a lady's handbag, no less functional than PC, and even better entertainment performance.

As far as tablet computers are concerned, the most common operating systems are iOS operating system, Android operating system and Windows operating system. Among them, the tablet of IOS and Android systems has a greater advantage in entertainment, which can achieve various targeted operations like mobile phones, but can also bring visual impact of larger screens. However, the biggest disadvantage of these two systems is that they can never achieve mobile office like laptops. The author insists that the tablet that cannot be used for mobile office is not a good tablet, but the single Windows operating system will greatly reduce the entertainment performance, which is also the reason why the dual system tablet was born.

Chiwei has always had its own position in the domestic dual system tablet at the thousand yuan level. From the low-end Hi8 to the mid-range Hi10 at the thousand yuan level, to the more aggressive Hi12, each product has won the favor of many clusters with its very good cost performance. Chiwei recently launched a 10.1 inch two in one tablet HiBook, which uses the familiar Intel CherryTrail X5 processor, supplemented by 4GB of memory, and is similar to Hi10 in overall configuration. What are the advantages of this product over Hi10? The author was lucky to get a trial of Lei Feng's Chiwei HiBook. This article can provide a better reference for those who pay attention to dual system tablets.

Unpacking&appearance design - thin, all metal body with excellent workmanship and feel

HiBook Our packaging adopts the traditional kraft paper minimalist style. The cardboard material used in the packaging box is still very tough, so there is no need to worry about the damage to the large screen panel caused by the transportation process. From the package, we can see that the tablet uses the Intel 64 bit quad core Z8300, which is CherryTrail's X5 processor. At the same time, the biggest selling point of HiBook is the lossless switching between Windows 10 and Android 5.1 systems.

As for accessories, they are relatively simple. In addition to the flat panel, a Type-C data cable and a power adapter. This time, HiBook added the currently popular USB3.0 Type-C power interface. The biggest advantage of Type-C is that it does not have to worry about the pros and cons, and blind plug. The 5V 3A power adapter is also powerful. HiBook has a built-in 6600mAh battery, which takes only 3 hours to fully charge, and can provide 6-8 hours of endurance. The performance is quite good.

Take another look at HiBook's fuselage design. The fuselage size is 262mm × 167.5mm × 8.5mm. A 10.1 inch 1920 × 1200 resolution IPS screen is adopted on the front, and the narrow frame design is not adopted in the frame processing. There is a 200W pixel front camera on your forehead, 84 ^° Wide angle front-end meets the needs of video chat. As a built-in Win10 tablet, a Win key is added on the right side of the front. When the system switches to Android, this virtual key becomes the familiar Home key.

The biggest improvement of Chiwei HiBook compared with Hi10 is the addition of the full metal body. The back cover of the body made of aluminum alloy does not use the flat design like the iPad, but uses a certain radian treatment around the back, making the whole back look very round and feel very colorful. Although few people will take photos with a 10.1-inch tablet, Chiwei added a 500W pixel rear camera to HiBook. Compared with the current smart phone market, which is almost equipped with a 1300W pixel camera as standard, the 500W pixel camera on HiBook really only meets the daily emergency needs.

eight point five The millimeter body is very thin, and the weight of the whole machine is kept at 550g, which is relatively light compared with the large size of the flat plate, so the hands will not be oppressed during entertainment. The rounded arc design is adopted at the four corners of the frame, and the double track CNC process cutting of the metal edge significantly increases the grade of the whole machine.

On the jack layout on the left side of the fuselage, the HiBook and Hi10 are consistent as a whole. A Tpye-C interface supporting USB3.0 is added, while a Micro USB interface is reserved. It also includes a 3.5mm headphone interface, Micro HDMI interface, and TF expansion card slot that supports up to 64GB expansion. Unfortunately, it may be to maintain the integrity of the side of the fuselage that HiBook cancels the two standard USB interfaces of the Hi10, which makes it slightly inconvenient to connect external devices such as USB flash drives.

Those who have used the Hi10 will be very dissatisfied with the speaker whose sound is as soft as the handset. This time HiBook The so-called AAC dual speaker design is also adopted. The only difference is that the two speakers are placed on both sides of the body. Through adjustment, the sound is much brighter than that of the Hi10. However, the author is still disappointed with the sound quality of this group of speakers. The sound is harsh and lacks bass. I hope Chiwei will be more careful in tuning the sound quality in future products.

On the left corner of the top of the fuselage are the power on and volume buttons. The buttons are relatively stiff, especially the volume+button, which needs to be pressed heavily to have an effect. I hope this is just an example of the trial version.

Just a tablet? Does not represent it

Like Hi10, HiBook also provides a Docking interface at the bottom, and two keyboard fixed ports with magnetic suction are left at both ends. Plug in the spindle keyboard to return to the familiar computer operation mode. However, the original spindle keyboard needs to be purchased separately by the user and is not presented with the product.

HiBook This spindle keyboard can achieve 0~120 ^° Opening and closing can also be inserted in both positive and negative ways, but the reverse insertion is only used as a support. The keyboard adopts the same aluminum alloy metal process design as the flat panel. CNC cutting really makes the keyboard also full of texture. Similarly, the keys are simple and the journey is very comfortable.

The lack of standard USB interface on the body can finally be found on the keyboard. One USB interface is left on both sides of the rotary axis keyboard of HiBook, one is connected to the mouse, and the other can be left for external connection such as USB flash disk.

Lossless dual system switching, Win10 or Android?

Many tablets on the market support Win10 and Android The flag of dual systems, in fact, the device itself only contains two products of one system. When consumers buy, they can only choose one of the two systems of tablets, and can not enjoy the different fun brought by the two systems at the same time. Such marketing is actually playing rogue.

Chiwei HiBook, on the other hand, has truly realized one machine and two systems. A SwitchNOW application has been added to the Windows desktop. Click it to switch to Android. Similarly, shortcut keys for switching to Windows are added to the drop-down menu of Android system, which can achieve lossless switching.

Windows10 In fact, it is very suitable for use on tablets, because it has its own tablet mode, and the applications in this mode are designed for tablets. Some very practical applications can also be found through the built-in Microsoft App Store. Of course, compared with IOS and Android, Microsoft's lack of applications on tablets is still a great disadvantage.

Of course, Windows is not good at entertainment when it is used on tablets. The strength of Windows lies in its office ability that IOS and Android can not match, and its better web browsing and multi tasking ability. Users can continue to work in Office or browse the web perfectly while watching movies, which is difficult for IOS and Android to do.

HiBook With native Android 5.1 system, it supports perfect horizontal and vertical screen switching. The native system has not made any customization. Due to the well-known relationship, the cancelled Google market has failed to provide any other application market. For those of us who are used to various highly customized versions in China, we will feel a little inconvenient to use.

The same machine and two systems need the support of large storage space. HiBook comes with 64GB solid state storage, and Chiwei has also made its own division. The Windows system comes with 44.1GB, while Android actually leaves only 9.72GB available. Users with large space requirements need to expand storage space through TF card.

Hardware performance, 4GB memory guarantee system smooth

Chiwei HiBook is equipped with the very familiar Intel 64 bit quad core Z8300, which is CherryTrail X5. It is based on 14 nanometer technology, with a main frequency of 1.44 GHz, and each core can pass through Intel's Remax acceleration technology dynamically adjusts the frequency to 1.84GHz processors.

HiBook The processor is also equipped with 4GB DDR3 running memory, which is very rare in the 1000 yuan tablet market. Under Windows 10, Master Lu can score about 55000 points. Although it is impossible to compare with the current mainstream laptops, if you do not try to play medium and large games, you can basically ensure the system is smooth.

It is a Windows system. I try to test this tablet with the popular LOL. In the default effect, the game loading speed is slightly slow, and the frame rate during the game has been kept at around 10, which can basically realize the smooth operation of the League of Heroes, but it will still be a little difficult in group warfare.

Thanks to 4GB of memory, under Android, the score of using Android Rabbit has reached 56000, which is basically at the middle and high-end level of the current Android configuration lineup. It is still no problem to realize the fluency of the native system, and it is also possible to play some medium and large games.

Screen performance, accurate color restoration, color gamut is a surprise

HiBook It uses a 10.1 inch 1920 × 1200 resolution IPS screen. The addition of OGS technology makes the screen thinner and has very good light transmittance. NTSC color gamut saturation reaches 120%, the color display is very bright, and the picture is lifelike.

According to the red, blue and green graph tests, the HiBook screen has a very high degree of color reproduction, basically no color bias, and the overall color performance is still positive, which is more than enough to meet our daily household needs.

Thanks to the good performance of the IPS screen, HiBook also performs very well in terms of visual angle, without color bias and white phenomenon.

The viewing experience brought by the pursuit of large screen is the factor that many users choose the tablet. In terms of video and audio HiBook, with its 10.1-inch high-definition, high color gamut screen, and a good system configuration, can basically play the current mainstream video format smoothly, and there is no residue and tailing in dynamic image reproduction.

summary

Chiwei HiBook first got rid of the cheap plastic body design of the previous products in terms of workmanship. The addition of all metal aluminum alloy technology has improved the texture of the flat panel. In terms of hardware, it is equipped with a 10.1 inch display 1920x1200 resolution, five generation Intel Atom X5-Z8300 processor, 4GB memory and 64GB storage space, built-in 6600mAh battery, 5 megapixel camera, It supports photo and video shooting, with a front 2 megapixel camera. The configuration is sufficient and balanced. The combination of Windows10 and Android 5.1 systems makes the tablet more excellent in mobile office performance while giving consideration to entertainment. The price of just over 1000 yuan also makes HiBook competitive. Of course, if Chiwei can work harder on sound effects, some details of workmanship, and the customization of Android system, perhaps the product will be more impressive.
