The Asian brand, Chuwi, has been making inroads into the European market, offering what many are looking for: a good price-performance ratio in all its products. Below, we'll discuss the best Chuwi tablets and, of course, whether they're worth it.
Features and price
Chuwi UBook X Pro
In true Surface style, comes the Chuwi UBook X Pro, a convertible that's unbeatable in terms of price and quality. It includes a stand on the back to keep the device upright. It's not as premium as the ones Microsoft makes, but look at the price...
It is a device built in aluminum and plastic with measurements of 307.4 x 217.3 x 9.2 mm and 925 grams of weight. The screen integrates technology IPS with a diagonal of 13 inches and resolution Quad HD (1440 x 2160 pixels)Its very good audiovisual section is completed with a dual speaker to Dolby Atmos.
Going to the important thing, the performance, this Chuwi mounts an Intel processor, the i7-7Y75 with integrated graphics (Intel HD 615). Added to this are 8 GB of LPDDR3 RAM together with 256 GB of storage.
It has USB-C, two USB 3.0 ports, a Micro HDMI and works on the renewed Windows 11.
Chuwi UBook X Pro or Surface Go 3?
In this duel, we're going to pit the Chuwi model against the Surface Go 3 in its most basic version, priced at around €500.
In terms of construction and materials, the Microsoft product is far superior to Chuwi, as its materials are of extreme quality and the feeling in hand is that of having a truly premium.
However, the Chuwi's screen is significantly better, larger and with a higher resolution, although color reproduction is somewhat more accurate on the Surface. The latter takes the prize for sound, as it's much more powerful and clear.
If we talk about raw power, Chuwi wins the battle, since its i7 processor is noticeably better and more efficient than the Intel Penitum Gold 6500Y that the Surface Go 3 has, we repeat, in its base version.
Ultimately, we're going with the Chuwi at this price point. If we wanted a Surface Go, the only models worth going for would be Intel i3, but the bill would still climb to €800, even without accessories.
Chuwi Hipad Pro
If we look at the Chuwi Hipad Pro from the front, it will look very similar to an iPad, as its design seems like a true carbon copy.
It has dimensions of 245 x 157.7 x 7.5 mm and 455 grams of weight. Its screen integrates technology IPS with a diagonal of 10,8 inches and resolution 2K, And a quad stereo speaker which rounds out the multimedia experience and elevates it to a great level for what it costs.

The best thing about having a tablet
Compared to any device of similar dimensions, a tablet offers greater portability, autonomy in most cases, a better and more polished design and constant connectivity, in the case of 4G or 5G tablets, in addition to serving as eBook.
However, this duel is usually between laptops and tablets, so it's also very important to note that the tablet is defeated in some aspects such as multitasking or some processes that require more power.
Is Chuwi a good brand?
To give you an idea, Chuwi has gone through a very similar evolutionary process to Xiaomi. It's a Chinese brand, initially unknown, that offers very good value for money, in this case focusing heavily on laptops and tablets.
Brand unfamiliarity may be a major reason why many users don't consider it when choosing a product, but we would recommend a Chuwi product, especially any of the ones we've discussed in this article. Our reason is, without a doubt, the value for money.
