Chuwi Company, which is known as a manufacturer of low-cost tablets and laptops, in the foreseeable future is going to establish production of a new gaming mini-PC CHUWI GT Box. These computers will be equipped with Intel Core i3-5005U CPU processors (HD Graphic 5500 GPU). It is also known that GT Box is an improved version of Chuwi HiGame, a popular crowd-funding product on Makuake some time ago. After that, many feedbacks have been received. Thus, Chuwi decides to release a more affordable mini pc based on Higame. Chuwi’s mini PC- GT Box is recently launched on Gearbest for about $299.99. It features Intel® Core™ i3 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD storage with SSD expansion supported.
Design
The Chuwi GT Box was probably born from the idea of making the basics of the old project profitable. It clearly changes gears with a much less powerful chip but is not lacking in appeal. The dimensions of the new device are quite modest: 17.30 x 15.80 x 7.30 cm. As the demand for convenient office work and entertainment increases, consumers are fond of those products that are more portable, that’s why Chuwi GT Box hasn’t made any changes in its appearance–it looks same as HiGame. Compared with those traditional workstations measuring 30 liters, GT Box has an ultra-compact case that only weighs 1.3kg, which is 13.5 times smaller and lighter.
Hardware
There are several configurations of CHUWI GT Box: with the Intel Core i3-5005U processor (Low-power desktop platform processor, stable and reliable performance, less delay and lag). The graphics subsystem is a video core embedded in the chip: Intel HD Graphic 5500 GPU (Better and faster in playing games and watching videos than the previous generation. Meet your requirement for high resolution and give you an enjoyable entertainment experience.) According to Chuwi, many users have mentioned that they want to purchase a mini pc at a lower price because of the limited budget. So Chuwi GT Box is packed with the more cost-effective Core™ i3 processor rather than the expensive Core™ i7 processor, which can greatly lower the costs and price. On the other hand, Chuwi GT Box of 8GB dual-channel memory and 2.0GHz turbo frequency can easily deal with daily tasks without any lag. Concerning the storage, with the price of SSD storage becoming more affordable, more and more consumers choose SSD to expand their storage space independently. Therefore, except the 256GB SSD storage, Chuwi GT Box has also reserved the SSD expansion slot to facilitate users greatly.
Features
The Chuwi GT Box offers a Wifi5 and Bluetooth 4.0 as well as a rather sober connection: Nothing on the front panel which remains very sober with a single start button. On the rear side are two HDMI CEC ports, two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, an Ethernet Gigabit socket and separate 3.5 mm headphone and microphone jacks. This mini-PC contains 8GB DDR3 RAM for Advanced Multitasking. SSD with the capacity 256GB is used for data storage, and also a slot for M.2 SATA memory expansion is available.
