Another advantage of this tablet is that if offers two colors. The deep gray version reviewed in this post, but also a golden version, which in my opinion is more visually appealing

You also have the option to buy a keyboard for your CHUWI Hi12, which improves the versatility of this device greatly. They keyboard itself is rather light and very easy to attach and use.
