The top configuration that includes the Intel Core-m3 8100Y CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD, type cover, and 2048 points active stylus costs just $499 and if you don’t need the keyboard and stylus, the price drops to just $449! Also, if you don’t need the extra power of the Core processor, there is a special version powered by Gemini Lake N4100 that costs just $399. Let’s see some more details about it.

The 12.3″ FHD IPS display with 3:2 aspect ratio brings larger workspace

Chuwi chose a fully-laminated 12.3″ FHD IPS panel with 3:2 aspect ratio that offers a vivid and vibrant experience to the user whether he’s working with pictures or watching videos. What’s more, the screen also supports up to 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity of the upgraded HiPen H5 active stylus that offers improved experience when righting or sketching.

Classic U shaped kickstand, lightweight and portable 2-in-1 tablet

Contrary to Surface Pro’s metal plate kickstand, the UBook Pro features a more light-weighted u-shaped kickstand which is more agile and convenient. The 9mm thin body and the low weight (780g) makes it very portable while the -up to- 145° turning kickstand makes it a decent sketch board for creativity or an efficient office tool when combined with the keyboard.

Intel’s 8th Gen Core m3-8100Y

The UBook Pro comes with the powerful Intel Core M3-8100Y processor that has an overall performance improvement of more than 50% over the previous gen. The processor is built with Intel’s advanced 14nm+ manufacturing process, it’s a dual-core/four threads chip and the highest frequency reaches up to 3.4 GHz. Combined with the highly-efficient UHD Graphics615, it can deal with multiple daily office work and even some moderate Adobe Photoshop editing.

With an excellent internal cooling design and Intel’s latest ULV processor, the UBook Pro is engineered with a fanless cooling system that keeps it extremely quiet even when running multiple software programs at the same time. Also, the large battery gives the tablet up to 8 hours of use on a single charge. Meanwhile the PD2.0 fast charging via USB-C port can fully charge the device in only 1.5hrs.

Chuwi recently launched the warmup campaign for its new crowdfunded 2in1 tablet – UBook Pro- the most powerful and versatile 2-in-1 tablet CHUWI ever built. Its predecessor was widely praised and many users have been waiting for the successor of this series. And Chuwi didn’t disappoint them.

Classic U shaped kickstand, lightweight and portable 2-in-1 tablet

We already know that the device sports a very slim body at just 9mm and its weight reaches just 780g (~1.72lbs) making it very easy to carry around. Also, it supports a magnetic keyboard dock like the previous model.

Contrary to Surface Pro’s metal plate kickstand, the UBook Pro features a more light-weighted u-shaped kickstand which is more agile and convenient. Moreover, this technique left free space for a bigger battery and a better cooling system. The speakers are hidden on each side of the device offering better volume and sound quality than normal tablets’ speakers.

The u-shaped kickstand has a maximum opening angle of 145° and can transform the tablet into a laptop, workstation or tablet, offering flexibility to its user in every situation.

The 12.3″ FHD IPS display with 3:2 aspect ratio brings larger workspace

Of course, the company’s best device to date should come with the corresponding display and Chuwi chose a fully-laminated 12.3″ FHD IPS panel with 3:2 aspect ratio that offers a vivid and vibrant experience to the user whether he’s working with pictures or watching videos.

The 3:2 aspect ratio is vigorously promoted by Microsoft for the Windows 10 OS as it is the golden ratio for productivity when typing, web browsing, coding, etc. What’s more, the touch panel supports 2048 pressure-sensitive stylus.

Intel’s 8th Gen Core m3-8100Y

Besides the looks and build quality, the UBook Pro comes with the powerful Intel Core M3-8100Y processor that has an overall performance improvement of more than 50% over the previous gen. The processor is built with Intel’s advanced 14nm+ manufacturing process, it’s a dual-core/four threads chip and the highest frequency reaches up to 3.4 GHz.

Also, with the Intel UHD Graphics 615, hardware decoding of 4K video is supported and it also provides a good experience in video editing and even some heavy games

Full-featured ports to meet all kinds of needs

As seen in the provided photos, UBook Pro is equipped with many I/O ports that include 2 x USB-A, 1 x USB-C (is said to be full-featured and support PD fast charging), 1 x Micro HDMI, 1 x 3.5 mm headphone jack, and also a DC power supply jack, Docking contactor at the bottom, and a TF card reader. The total of these ports can meet daily needs and also offer external display, high-speed data transmission, a portable Docking keyboard, etc. Definitely a generous set of ports that when compared with devices from giants like Apple and Microsoft seems way superior. Maybe these companies have something to learn from smaller manufacturers.
