Third-party reviews

What we like about Chuwi Ubook Pro (16GB + 256GB)

  • Significantly more affordable than the Microsoft Surface Pro range
  • High-quality 12.3-inch IPS display with excellent brightness (up to 390 nits) and a 3:2 aspect ratio
  • Solid build quality featuring a metal Al-Mg alloy back and a sturdy U-shaped kickstand
  • Extensive port selection including two USB-A 3.0, one USB-C, mini-HDMI, and a microSD slot
  • Fanless design ensures completely silent operation even under load
  • Responsive 10-point touchscreen with active stylus support

What we don't like about Chuwi Ubook Pro (16GB + 256GB)

  • Disappointing battery life, typically lasting only 4 to 6 hours on a single charge
  • Underpowered performance from the Intel Core m3 or Celeron CPUs, unsuitable for gaming or intensive tasks
  • Low-quality internal speakers and cameras that are often described as 'brittle' or 'low-rent'
  • Subpar official keyboard and touchpad accessory, frequently noted for being flimsy or unresponsive
  • Reports of long-term reliability issues such as battery swelling and poor heat dissipation
  • Awkward placement of power and audio jacks toward the top of the device

Verdict

The Chuwi UBook Pro is a versatile 2-in-1 Windows tablet featuring a 12.3-inch fully laminated IPS display with a 1920 x 1280 resolution and a productivity-focused 3:2 aspect ratio. This specific configuration is equipped with 16GB of LPDDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD, often powered by an Intel Core m3-8100Y or Celeron N4100 processor. Its main characteristics include an ultra-slim 9mm magnesium-alloy body weighing 780g, a built-in U-shaped kickstand adjustable up to 145 degrees, and support for a 2048-level pressure-sensitive stylus and detachable backlit keyboard. Key pros are its exceptionally bright 350-nit screen, fanless silent operation, and a generous port selection including USB-C, dual USB-A 3.0, and Micro-HDMI. However, notable cons include a relatively short battery life of 4 to 6 hours, underpowered processing for heavy tasks or gaming, and weak integrated speakers.
