CHUWI's website boasts that the Hi12 has a 400-lumen brightness, ... talk radio. Music; not so much. Bass is non-existent, and you'll be clamoring for external speakers or headphones before long.

Chuwi's Hi 13, though, costs just 1/3 the price -- it's currently selling for HK$2,754 (US$350). Of course, the internals are a bit behind Microsoft's offering.
