ΈWe have reached an age where every family has a Tablet, Laptop or even a desktop Computer.
Most of us, however, are looking for a device that can meet most (if not all) of our needs, whether it is a Tablet, PC or Laptop.
Somewhere here comes the Chuwi-VI10 Plus which is a hybrid device that resembles a Tablet and a Laptop at the same time due to RemixOS which contains. The RemixOS is a modified android operating system that has several features found in Windows that we have all learned to use.
We received it a while ago and after a lot of use, I think it's time to write a few things about it.
But let's not go ahead and see some details about the Tablet…

Hands-on
At first glance, when you open the tablet, it looks like any other tablet. But when I started looking for it a bit, because of the operating system that it has RemixOS, is essentially a mix of Windows with Android. The operating system is designed so that it can be used normally as a Laptop and make Windows users feel familiar as they use it.
It has features such as multiple application windows, toolbar and start bar where all the applications installed on the Tablet are located.
The android version of the tablet is currently on 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and has and RemixOS 2.0. Nevertheless, the operating system has application System Update, where it works like OTAUpdater and has options for stable or unstable updates.
Let's see now the performance of the Tablet.
In Antutu, the score he gets, is 64464. Quite satisfactory for his money as he has, 2 GB RAM, Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 Quad-core at 1.44 GHz and Intel HD Graphics 8th Generation.
Gaming
I personally would not characterize it as a gaming tablet as there are other options for gaming which are much more affordable and cheap. This of course does not exclude the fact that the tablet is not for gaming. On the contrary, it's a pretty good choice for gaming. I did a few tests with PSP Emulator (PPSSPP Gold) and Nintendo DS Emulator (DraStic) in games Jeanne D'arc and Pokemon Black 2, Respectively.
Device Design
By design, the tablet is quite nice. Its corners are round and it has a nice grip.
As you hold it vertically, at the top, there are the ports for headphones, micro USB, micro HDMI, as well as input for the SD Card memory card.
It is not convenient to hold it for a long time, however, as it is quite large and heavy. It tires the hands easily so it is more convenient to fasten it somewhere.
This purpose is served by Docking Keyboard with Touchpad made for the tablet.
It connects very easily and quickly and can stand on its own, just like a laptop.
It turns into a small Netbook with the differences that it is Android, more portable and lightweight.
Numpad does not have due to its size but this function is also covered by FN Keys.Note that the Keyboard is separate from the Tablet and does NOT come with the device.
In addition to the keyboard, there is a special pen for the tablet.
It is quite convenient for painting or writing. It has a micro USB port on top of which it charges.
Of course, it seemed to me as if he was losing contact for hours and that he needed a lot of pressure
I do not know if this has to do with the pen itself, her application which I used, if it is a matter of software or I just used it wrong.
For me personally, however, they did not drive me crazy, but this will definitely have its uses as well.
Like the Keyboard, the pen does NOT come with the device. They are special.
Conclusions and Observations
All you have to do is download the corresponding img from the Chuwi Server - Page, and make it Flash with the help of the tools given to you. In this Review, it is not my intention to expand on its chapter. operating system change, but let me just say that finally the Chuwi VI10 Plus, you can easily customize it based on your own real needs, even at the operating system level, which gives it a great added value. However, I was very satisfied from Remix OS, and it is certain that in its next upgrades, this will become even better. to get it. My opinion is that it is worth giving a few euros more to get the Docking (Keyboard) because it turns the Tablet into a regular Laptop / Netbook. Thank you Gearbest for the concession of products.
