is the battery 4000 or 5000mah?.
Also how much of the 32gb is available for the user?

It a nice price. $133.20 AUD roughly…

Comparison with the Vi8 version. Hardware identical except for screen (and looking like battery)
- MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 29/06/2015 - 21:01
  
  Battery is 4000mAh, and the processor is more powerful than the Chuwi Vi8. I can't remember exactly how much storage is free on each partition as I don't have my Chuwi Vi8 nearby, but I believe it's about ~12GB on the Windows partition left over.
  - smurfinaus on 29/06/2015 - 21:11
    
    Ahh ok thanks for that. I might go ahead & grab the Vi8 version myself :)

Just letting people know you can get the same price on gear best using chi8 as the discount code. you can also bundle a case for $8.

    you need to load the desktop version of the website then under the item you can add a case and screen protector also discounted. Then use the 'chi8' code at checkout. I don't know the exact price because I had other things in the cart.
    - plasmoske on 29/06/2015 - 21:18
      
      It's about $1 cheaper on gear best. That's not including shipping.
      
      About how fast gear best ships it out or how reliable they are, I don't know.
      
      Then again, I could say the same for geek buying :P

      @doctorwatson:
      
      Oh right. It seems like I assumed something.
      
      I got 2 tablets. And shipping was $0 for DHL.
      
      For 1 tablet, it was 5.82 shipping DHL.
      
      It seems like there's free shipping over a certain order amount $.

      @doctorwatson:
      
      The CHI8 code mentioned above is slightly cheaper ($91.45 vs $91.99) but also keeps the discounted price on bundled accessories. GBNEW bumps them up to full price.

sorry my stupid questions, but with just 32Gb storage, how are you going to use the remaining storage for other progams/apps? Am i missing something?
- MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 30/06/2015 - 08:43
  
  You get about ~10GB free in the Windows side and ~7GB in the Android side. Microsoft has compressed Windows 8.1 so it can be installed on devices with 16GB of storage.
  - kipps on 11/07/2015 - 15:20
    
    Thanks Clear, purchased. Personally I will probably delete Android to make more space for Windows.

so with that 10Gb storage, i can install ANY programs just like Desktop version?
- MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 30/06/2015 - 09:34

Also I think the 80ish gram weight diff from an ASUS Note 8 is due to the lack of glass over the screen. It has plastic and it will push against the display if pressed too hard (and by too hard, I don't mean that hard at all), and can even stick to it. It looks terrifying when it comes apart, the area goes all white for a second. Mine came with it sticking to it but after a few minutes of being on it popped apart.
whooah1979 on 04/07/2015 - 13:48

or should i get something like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/200526?
thanks.
- MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 04/07/2015 - 13:59
  
  Would be powerful enough as they both have the same Intel processor and RAM. As long as you're not running too many resource intensive applications at once it should be fine. I'd recommend the Teclast X98 if you intend on having it connected to a monitor as it has HDMI out.

  As it's quite a new tablet the only case that is out is a leather cover case. I've yet to see a tough case that you'd typically find with an iPad or Samsung.

  Actual price is determined at checkout, but it should be <$10 USD. After processing which can typically take up to a week you're looking at ~3 days shipping DHL and TNT, while with EMS it's about a week.

    Hi,
    
    I just placed an order for the Chuwi Hi8 tablet on order #3400417
    
    However, I forgot to add the below case in the same order:

    Is there any chance you can please help me add on the case below to the order so I don't have to pay additional shipping fee and also can get the tablet with the case?
    
    Thanks
