The number of alternatives to Microsoft’s own Surface 2-in-1 is constantly increasing, and now Chinese manufacturer Chuwi is getting ready to introduce its own such device.

Presented at CES earlier this year, the Chuwi Hi13 will be launched on February 20 and will be available for pre-order the same day, coming with a price that really makes it an intriguing product for those looking for a 2-in-1 running Windows 10.

The Hi13 will sell for $369, and in addition to Windows 10, the device will also come with support for Ubuntu, with Chuwi making quite a big deal about this, as it’s one of the few 2-in-1 models on the market that can run the open-source operating system with no additional tweaks or modifications.

Technical specs

The Chuwi Hi13 comes with a 13.5-inch display with 3000x2000 resolution and is powered by an Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3450 processor clocked at 2.2 GHz. It features Intel HD Gen9 Graphics 500 and 4GB RAM, with 64GB eMMC storage.

Made of metal and with a fanless design, the Hi13 also boasts one USB Type-C port and one microHDMI input. It comes with support for a detachable keyboard, just like Microsoft’s own Surface, and also includes a pen called HiPen H3 that can be attached to the screen, as you can see in the photos here. The HiPen H3, however, won’t be available at launch, but Chuwi says the existing HiPen H1 stylus already works with this device.

Other features include four-speaker audio, 5-megapixel camera on the back and 2-megapixel camera on the front, Wi-Fi, 10,000 mAh battery with fast charging, and two USB 2.0 ports that are integrated into the keyboard.

On paper this device looks like a pretty good alternative to Microsoft’s Surface, so it’ll be interesting to see how it performs in real-life too. And the simple fact that it comes with Ubuntu support from the very beginning makes it twice more compelling for those who were looking for a 2-in-1 device that offers super portability.
