Chuwi Prepares Their HiGame Mini Gaming PC with Kaby Lake-G CPU

[Chino]

Chinese tablet and laptop manufacturer Chuwi is working on their HiGame mini gaming PC to rival Intel's latest Hades Canyon NUC. The Chuwi HiGame incorporates an Intel Core i5-8305G quad-core processor with AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL graphics, 8 GB of DDR4 memory, and a 128 GB SSD. Nevertheless, the HiGame has good upgradability. There are two SODIMM DDR4 memory slots, a M.2 PCIe x4 SSD slot, and a 2.5-inch SATA III drive bay onboard so consumers can potentially upgrade the memory to 32 GB and slap an ultra-fast M.2 PCIe SSD into this miniature monster. In terms of size, the HiGame measures 173 mm x 158 mm x 73 mm, which makes it just a tad shorter but fatter than the Hades Canyon NUC.

Unlike Intel's offering, Chuwi's HiGame maintains a more traditional PC look with a Thunderbolt 3 port and accompanying power button on the front. Connectivity won't be a problem on the HiGame as the mini-PC comes with a plethora of ports at the back. There are two HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPorts, a Gigabit ethernet port, five USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a microphone jack, and a headphone jack. While not visible to the naked eye, the Chuwi HiGame also features 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2. Chuwi hasn't announced the pricing for the HiGame yet. However, the Chinese giant plans to launch their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the HiGame by the end of April. So keep an eye out for it.

"Gaming, until your Vega overheats!" The old AMD and eggs story... Seriosly, I always liked AMD, specially their processors and I can't help but think that the best thing that they had in their favor they handed it on a silver platter to their rivals (which was the iGPU). Now, the desktop seems to have a nice design, and a nice CPU+GPU combo and decent upgradeability, but I have to ask, since here in Europe isn't much of an issue, how do you buy one of these in the US?

They should've made it Ryzen-based, at least bring something new to the table rather than just copycat existing NUCs

Do you realize that the vega + intel cpu chip is a single piece? For the ryzen + vega you can always go with the new apu lol, but it's nowhere near the performance of the new NUCs

Hi, my first post here, created an account just for info...

The correct site is en.chuwi.com. The website you posted belongs to someone else. Attaching a screenshot

A whole lot different from "Hello world"

(P. S. I was a programmer a long time ago, so I appreciate the joke

The domain definitely belongs to chuwi.
It seems like they are having some very lengthy maintenance, cause yesterday it was still down (localized pages did not resolve, and the main page was what I posted earlier)...
Really want to look at their newer tablets w/ pen support.
