I have a Hi13 chuwi

It works ok , not fantastic but for what i want to do ( watch videos) its fine.

Nice screen!

Assuming this is still for sale, I have a couple of questions (sorry if already answered):

- battery usage (how much can you work on it between recharges)
- can one upgrade, or replace the Linux distribution that the device runs?

I managed to install Linux on a newish cheap Chinese tablet (touchscreen, wifi, Bluetooth working), but I'm a bit curious about this Asus device.

I've had three of them total; the two backups are sold now, but I still have the one that I used a bit. Now I'm open to selling it off too.

It was used for occasional reading and note-taking mainly in math classes; I charged it once or twice a week IIRC. Officially, it was supposed to last up to 14 hours in active use or 10 days suspended, and I would believe that.

The OS is based on Linux and Qt Embedded, and you get shell access, telnet etc. and there are some community-developed/ported applications. I haven't looked into it more.

As I posted earlier, the device is best treated as an appliance (note-taking, annotations, e-books) with the option to run scripts, share data over FTP etc.

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll search a bit more about the possibility of updating its Linux innards (I see Asus has the free parts on its support page: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/EA-800 ... _Download/).

There's a mirror of the original website with tools. I've seen newer stuff too, but can't currently find it, though.

Hi davkol,
is it still available?
is it still the same price as the NIB ones you sold previously?
