This tablet is much faster than I expected and the build quality is great. I used to have an ASUS M81C and this feels and acts much better. Having the 4GB of RAM along with a relatively higher end atom processor, 64GB of storage, and Windows 10 Home 64-bit, runs most applications surprisingly well. I'm able to play older and even some relatively recent games like Oblivion and Skyrim at a respectable frame rate of around 30 fps on lower settings and resolution. Video playback on youtube has also never had any real stuttering problems. The Intel HD Graphics 400 integrated GPU seems to run similarly to my first and oldest desktop with an Nvidia 6800 Ultra (both using around the same 256MB of memory, the Intel obviously being shared). Other less demanding games like Deponia run well at full resolution.
I also ordered a separate micro SD card (a Sandisk 256GB ultra) that pairs well with it. I've used it to store Steam and whatever games I install with the access rate being perfectly reasonable. I assume the 128GB max specification mentioned is due to larger micro SD cards not being around when they first tested it because I've had no issue with the 256GB after formatting it to NTFS.
I seem to get around 6 hours or so of actual usage while gaming, but it might be a little better if being used for only basic web browsing. It would be nice to get a little bit bigger of a battery, but it is still acceptable without worry about it running out too soon. It feels a little long to charge fully at around 2-3 hours, but it's still acceptable in that aspect as well. The additional/separately purchased keyboard with trackpad doesn't seem to hurt battery life either.
Overall I'm very pleased with it after owning it for a few weeks now and the build quality seems to be great with it's unibody metal frame. It feels like it will last quite a long time and is great for putting on my lap when I want to relax in bed while watching movies/shows and basic gaming. It might not be as fast as some laptops, but it is far more portable and nice to be fanless.

Great value for money
There are a few people that gave this one star but reading their reviews it is because they don't understand Windows 10 or how to set up a tablet. When you get this, it does not have the latest version of the Windows 10 operating system so it is going to try to download GBs of an upgrade which will severely limit the tablet performance for hours. I suggest you turn off updates, fit the memory card and get that working so the download can be buffered onto the extra disk space then go to a website that tells you how to disable or delete all the Windows 10 features you don't want or don't need that take up disk space. Make sure your WiFi is set up and ready, turn off bluetooth then turn on updates, go to the updates (start button, gearwheel, security & update) and keep selecting to search, get the updates, restart and then repeat until it says it is fully up to date. Then and only then should you start loading applications like Office. I have MS Office, Adobe, SQL Server express, Visual Studio Solo (I am a programmer), Skype, Photoshop Elements, VSDC Video Editor and Google Earth on mine and it all works great with a Sandisk 128GB micro-SD card. I also have the keyboard and I adapted an ASUS Transformer leather case to fit it. The most important part of that is to remove the 2 tiny magnets inside the leather top right and left or the tablet shuts down/won't boot when it is in the case (see pic). Overall I love my Chuwi which I use when I travel, mostly for transferring and editing my action camera videos, but it is good for work on the long flights. This is fantastic value for money. Even with the case and keyboard and plug in data card it cost about one third of some of the big brand name products out there. Very happy with this purchase.
