Came across this new crowdfunding for a Chuwi Surbook. Reminds me of the Surface.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/chuwi-surbook-affordable-…

Overview:

Meet Chuwi SurBook, the most affordable 2-in-1 tablet yet, designed with performance to rival the iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface. We’ve thought of everything to make SurBook the best 2-in-1 tablet around!

The portable SurBook features a powerful Intel Celeron N3450 processor and a 12.3-inch 2736 x 1824 resolution 2K screen, bringing everything you see and do to life. On-the-go productivity has never been easier thanks to the convenient kickstand, detachable keyboard and intuitive magnetic pen.

Thoughts?
Seems cheap enough at $299USD or $399AUD.

    Great screen, cheap keyboard/pen, but the N3450 processor holds it back. Probably won't buy until they release an M3 model.

    CPU is weak, otherwise a good spec.
    Obviously the issues with non-local warranty etc.
    If I desired a cheap Surface, maybe. But $400 buys a lot of cheap Chinese tablet if the Surface copy isn't your priority.

    Really disappointing to be honest. This was CHUWI's chance to finally release a Core M device and they missed it. 6GB RAM is an odd configuration too, why not standardise and do 8GB? Also is that 64GB/128GB eMMC? Teclast and other manufacturers have included SSDs in their devices. If they're short on space a 2240 M.2 SSD would have been perfect.

      Good deal on K3QF7F70DM-QGCF modules I suppose. Only thing I can think of that makes 8GB standard is (2^)13||23||33…

    The fact that it says up to 128GB leads me to believe this is eMMc storage rather than SSD. Which is terribad. Think 20 MB/s or less transfers that cannot be simultaneous.

      Says eMmC 5.0 in the specs.

    This is terrible for 400. Surface Pro 4 with m3 were 700.

    I have a CHUWI H10 which is dual OS as well. Quite nice little tablet but not good enough.
