More than a pretty tablet: Chuwi UBook Pro, in-depth review before launch
As we already indicated at the time, the manufacturer has combined some design details that are adapted to the latest trends in the industry, although it is not only an aesthetic element and it also mixes it with maximum comfort of use for the average user. . Thus, for example its thickness of 9 mm and a body that only weighs 780 grams makes it ideal for daily transport and office work while traveling.

The 3: 2 aspect ratio screen favors a greater display of elements on the screen, something essential when working with office files and large amounts of text.
On the other hand, UBook Pro is equipped with a fully laminated 12.3-inch IPS screen that responds to a native Full HD resolution , so it is not far behind in the reproduction of multimedia contents with great clarity.

A mid-range performance: Chuwi UBook Pro, in-depth review before launch
If everything indicated above is still not enough to be sure of the purchase of this equipment, it must be confirmed that the chosen hardware elements are more than acceptable for the current year and the final price that is asked in exchange for users .
This means that Chuwi UBook Pro may not give the best feeling for those who are very demanding or need to perform tasks from highly demanding software tools, but for most conventional work and entertainment activities it is more than up to the task.

Differences with Chuwi Hi9 Air
It is logical that before your purchase other current alternatives on the market are analyzed, and even from the same brand, so it is a good idea to draw comparisons between the Chuwi UBook Pro and the previously presented Chuwi Hi9 Air . The main difference is none other than its operating system, since one is based on Windows 10 and the other on Android 8.0 Oreo .
This marks clear differences between the type of use that will be given to one and the other, although it is worth noting that the Chuwi Hi9 Air can also be coupled with an external keyboard (sold separately) in case you want to carry out writing tasks.
