The Chinese brand Chuwi is not only dedicated to the creation of tablets, it has also been trying to introduce itself in the mini PC market for years. After their last successes of financing in the Indiegogo platform, they have decided to use it again to launch their new campaign in April with which they intend to create a mini PC destined for gaming, the Chuwi HiGame.
Chuwi HiGame improves by 40% a team with an Intel Core Coffee Lake and an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Chuwi says that this mini PC is powerful enough to replace our desktop computer. It has very demure dimensions, 173 x 158 x 73 mm, which will make it look like a console. Inside we find a new Intel Core Coffee Lake processor, specifically the Intel Core i5-8305G.
This processor arrives with the integration of the graphics of AMD Radeon RX Vega M and 4G of VRAM. The mini PC will have 8 GB DDR4 RAM and 128 GB of storage with an M.2 SSD. Although this is the initial configuration, we can expand its RAM thanks to the two slots it incorporates, one more M.2 device and another 2.5-inch SSD.
Among its connections are a Thunderbolt 3 port, 5 USB 3.0, GB LAN, 2 HDMI 2.0 and a DisplayPort port which makes it a very versatile device. Thanks to its hardware, this device is capable of reproducing images in 4K at 60Hz, with a performance that allows us to use our virtual reality glasses without problems or having several monitors connected simultaneously. In terms of wireless connectivity we have Bluetooth 4.2 and 802.11 dual-band WiFi a / b / g / n / ac, so we can use the computer, even if we are not near the router and with our wireless peripherals without any problem.
If we look at the performance tests presented by the brand, we have compared the Chuwi HiGame with an NVIDIA GTX 1050 graphics card and we can not deny that the results are very encouraging. In 3D Mark, this new equipment is 1.3 times better than another with an 8th generation processor and NVIDIA graphics.
In games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, in which the Intel-NVIDIA team did not exceed 30 FPS, it would approach 40 or as in HITMAN that is close to 50 FPS. It is true that many users ask for a greater number of FPS when using a computer to play, but we can not deny that if these specifications are accompanied by a competitive price it can be a good purchase option.
We hope this HiGame is no exception. If you want to know more, we refer you to the official site where you can also subscribe to the newsletter and participate in a small giveaway!
