HiGame PC is Chuwi's new gaming mini-PC

Numerous army of fans of games grows every day. Everyone finds something in the gaming process - an attempt to escape from reality, take a break from problems, achieve certain results and become at least better on the playing field. Whatever interests you are guided, it is clear that in order to succeed you need to equip carefully your workplace. Here you will need a powerful computer, because in today's games the system requirements are quite high, so you need a good "iron". Today we head to Shenzhen (China), where Chuwi has unveiled a new HiGame PC gaming PC powered by a powerful 8th generation Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor featuring a discrete Radeon RX Vega M video card with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB or 256 GB main expandable, which supports up to five monitors at a time and has a compact size, 15 times the size of the standard system unit.

Features of the novelty

Modern games have a very realistic drawing of characters, locations, and provide extensive tools for passing levels and collecting a certain amount of points. Therefore, leading manufacturers of computer technology produce special gaming models that have top features that easily cope with the loading of complex graphic elements. Not only the system units have undergone many changes in this regard - some laptops also boast excellent parameters.

Earlier, we talked about AeroBook, a 13.3-inch Chinese Chuwi compact laptop that received a stylish design in a slim aluminum body with a slim bezel around the display, equipped with one of the high-power Intel Core m3 processors. Energy savings, a 5000 mAh lithium-polymer battery, plus 8GB of RAM and the ability to run for up to 8 hours without recharging (you can read more about it on the link below).

The manufacturer of today's novelty is also Chuwi. Therefore, compactness has become a fundamental feature of the device. The manufacturer has tried to remove all the unnecessary details and achieve incredible - the dimensions of the system unit are only 173 * 158 * 73 mm (length * width * height). Its weight was 1300 g. At the same time, the novelty has quite powerful game parameters. Suffice it to note that the PC processor is the eighth generation of quad-core Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7, built on 14 nm process technology.

The base clock of the younger model was 2.8 GHz and the maximum was 3.8 GHz. The older one got 3.1 GHz and 4.1 GHz respectively. Both versions have a discrete Radeon RX Vega M graphics card with 4 gigabytes of graphics data memory. Thanks to the direct connection to the Intel PCIe bus, the novelty can cope with complex tasks (games, graphics and engineering applications) that require performance without delay and "sagging".

The system unit has received 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, which makes it easy to run a large number of programs, support resource-intensive games and sophisticated software. The dual-channel controller operates at 2133 - 2400 MHz, allowing you to expand the memory up to 32 GB and provide a bandwidth of 38.4 GB / sec. This optimized design makes it possible to solve any, even the most difficult, tasks.

HiGame PC has a pre-installed 128GB SATA solid-state drive or 256 GB (SSD), depending on the modification. The computer supports the expansion of internal memory by installing different types of storage - 2.5mm HDD, solid state SATA (SSD) or PCIe x4 NVMe (SSD) in the amount of four pieces. Thus, if you do not trust cloud services and are used to keep all the necessary information at hand, you have the opportunity to do it easily and without problems.

With these parameters, the system unit can become very hot. Therefore, the manufacturer predicted the presence of several fans, including a diameter of 90 mm for cooling directly the processor and the video card. In addition, a series of ventilation openings are provided in the housing of the device in a special way for uniform cooling and prevention of overheating of the device. They are on the right and left sides as well as at the bottom. This will give you high performance even with the most resource-intensive games.

How on a gaming computer to do without the various connectors to connect all sorts of peripherals? The compact HiGame PC has many ports that allow you to connect a variety of hardware to it. The novelty has one Ethernet cable port, one USB Type A, Thunderbolt 3 on the front panel, universal USB Type C to support data rates of up to 40 Gbps, as well as two 4K UHD 60 Hz displays or an optional external eGPU video card.

The system unit received ultra-fast wireless connectivity to an Intel Wi-Fi card. It is nothing but 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz dual band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, allowing you to boost up to 433 Mbps. Peripherals can be connected to the system unit thanks to Bluetooth 4.2. The package comes with a licensed Microsoft Windows 10 Home operating system, which includes a suite of office applications and an Adobe Creative Cloud graphic. The body material is metal.
