Chuwi Surbook has exceeded all limits on Indiegogo. As of this writing, the Chinese-based company has raised $298,131 USD supported by 807 backers. The original goal was to raise $30,000 and now the limit has crossed by 994 percent. You can still place your order since nearly one month is left for the campaign to end.
If you compare Chuwi Surbook with Microsoft Surface Pro, you will find that the Surface Pro is expensive with the standard model starting at $799. If you need to buy a type cover and pen, you will have to pay $129 for the type cover and $99 for the pen. Moreover, if you want the type cover with Alcantara fabric, you will have to pay $30 extra. Hence, you will have to spend $1057 to purchase Microsoft Surface Pro.
Meanwhile, you only need to pay $349 for the Chuwi Surbook tablet with 6GB RAM and 64GB expandable internal storage coupled with keyboard and stylus. You can save $708 if you purchase Surbook.
In fact, you can buy two more Surbooks from the amount you saved. If you are not interested in keyboard and stylus, you need to pay $299 only for the Surbook tablet with same specifications. If you prefer 128GB storage model, you need to pay $399 USD bundled with keyboard and stylus. Imagine, the amount of money you can save with Chuwi Surbook.
Chuwi Surbook features a 12.3-inch display with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 pixels paired with 3:2 aspect ratio and 10-point multi-touch. If you compare the connectivity, you will find that Surbook has more USB ports that the Microsoft Surface Pro. The Surface Pro 4 includes one USB 3.0 Type-A port. However, in Chuwi Surbook, you will find one USB Type-C port and 2 USB 3.0 Type-A ports.
On the specifications front, the Chuwi Surbook is equipped with Apollo Lake N3450 processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB internal storage powered by a 10000mAh battery. The stylus features 1024 pressure levels and a detachable magnetic backlit keyboard.
Chuwi Surbook will be suitable for students and business people since it features powerful performance. You need not have to worry about performance lag due to the integration of 6GB RAM.
If you place your order via Indiegogo before the end of the campaign, you have reserved a unit. Chuwi is gearing up to start shipment of the Surbook tablet by the end of July.
