Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Chuwi HeroBook Pro is a good value laptop that has a fast startup, bright, crisp HD screen, and is generally cool to operate. However, users should be prepared to undertake Windows and Office updates, and be aware of wait times in loading content for common apps. Worth noting too is that more demanding activities like gaming or video production could be challenging on this laptop.

Pros

  • 💻 Has a 90% display that is quite good, with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
  • 🚀 Fast startup, typically taking around 15 seconds to get to the date and time Windows log in screen.
  • 🎒 Lightweight and portable due to its slim design.
  • 💰 Offers decent performance for regular use like e-mails, messaging, Web surfing, blogging, social networking, correspondence, etc. at a reasonable price.

Cons

  • 🐌 Some users reported slow loading times for apps and long waits for content to load.
  • 💾 Requires multiple stages of Windows and Office updates after setup.
  • ⚡ The charging brick that comes with the laptop seems cheap and potentially short-lived.
  • 🔥 Apparent lack of ventilation for the laptop's electronics could cause excessive heat during intensive operations.

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for an affordable, lightweight laptop for routine tasks like browsing, emailing, or using Office apps, the Chuwi HeroBook Pro could be a good choice. But if you require superior performance for gaming, graphics-heavy tasks, or high-speed activities, you might want to consider other options.


  • Does Exactly What I Needed it To Do
<edit> 6 month update: just after the window closed for support, like a week after the 6 months was up, it crashed. Now it's stuck in BIOS and no one can get it to work again. So I basically rented a laptop for $35 a month. Hugely disappointing. I almost got a Chromebook after I dropped my previous laptop, because I only needed to access a few websites and dictate some documents for work. I considered using the Word app for docs, But I'm so used to the Windows environment and my Office365 subscription that I was hesitant to make a switch. This laptop was extremely affordable and has been great so far (I've had it for a few months). I'm running three outboard monitors (one from the HDMI port and two others from a a USB hub and two adapters), and it handles everything I throw at it (including the occasional netflix stream on one monitor while I do some work on the other two and the laptop screen itself). I suspect it might not be a good gaming pc, but it does exactly what I needed it to do, and I'm happy with it ... show more

  • Updadted: Cloud Gaming, Best for Price Point
Updated: I originally bought this for college, but I decided to try out cloud gaming with it. I signed up for GeForce Now and the experience has been great. Granted, you'll need a good wi-fi provider and bandwidth, and there's a monthly Geforce Now fee, but if you have that you can ditch your gaming computer and simply use this laptop. Great gaming experiences on high-end games on a $200 laptop?! Sure, the speakers could be better, but just headphone up or plug into some pc speakers. I am extremely satisfied with this laptop. I ordered this because I needed a laptop for school. I wanted it to be lightweight, budget friendly, and able to connect to my desktop pc via remote desktop. At its price point, it fulfilled all of these PLUS it has 8gbs of RAM, which is pretty much unheard of. It also can be upgraded to a 1tb SSD storage. I did this, and it was very simple. The direct access panel to the SSD on the bottom of the laptop is accessible by removing just two screws. From there, just remove the screw holding the SSD, pull out the old one and slide in the new one. Just keep in mind it it needs to be M.2 SATA, not M.2 NVMe (I initially bought the wrong one). Honestly, I bought this laptop not only based on the product description, but also the review by D, which was the first review that popped up. D goes more in depth than my review, but I have found everything positive he said to be true. Definitely a great product at this price point. ... show more

  • A remarkably good laptop for a very modest price.
Never heard of a Chuwi brand laptop? Me neither until I came across this HeroBook Pro sporting a bright, crisp 14-inch full high-definition screen, 8 Gb of RAM, a 256 Gb SSD, 2.8 GHz Celeron CPU, Windows 11 and decent complement of ports. There's also a card slot for additional storage. Making it easier to try an unknown (to me, at least) brand was this, from this laptop's Amazon product page: "Free maintenance within one year after purchase, free return and exchange within three months." The product page shows the HeroBook Pro's regular price at $239 but it was just $189 when I ordered. (Still at $189 as of 8/26/2023, as I write this review). For that incredibly reasonable price I would expect no more than 4 Gb RAM, 64 GB storage, a born-to-struggle CPU, weak dull screen and dead-to-the-touch keyboard. After some time to get this laptop set up and put it to regular use, I can recommend it without hesitation for the routine uses most of us need a laptop for: e-mails, messaging, Web surfing, blogging, social networking, correspondence, etc. It's no speed demon but does move along at a good pace. Game-wise, I'm into some solitaire now and then. The Chuwi's specs tell me it's not designed for hot, heavy and high-speed action games. Then again, it's one-fourth or less the price of a laptop designed for that kind of game playing. Is there no downside to this remarkable bargain laptop? Not much that I've found. My biggest concern, although nothing bad has happened because of it, is an apparent lack of ventilation for the electronic innards. A few days after my Chuwi arrived, Microsoft sent along a triple-whammy update. That meant big. long-running downloads followed by intensive data-hustling within the tight confines of the Chuwi's unperforated case. So, as one would expect, it got hot. There was no meltdown, no smoke, no fire, no breakdown. Just me tapping my fingers, anxious to get this over with and hoping the heat wouldn't do damage. Just to be safe, I borrowed my wife's mini table-top fan and directed it at the Chuwi. No, it hadn't gotten hot enough to fry eggs on. It's just that I baby my gear. If you need an amazingly good Windows laptop for surprisingly little money, you're not likely to do better than this Chuwi HeroBook Pro. Odd name, great deal. Update: After 19 months of light use, my Chuwi Hero book's screen failed. It's very bright white and flickering madly. This occurred right after a big Windows 11 download and update. I strongly suspect high heat buildup within this laptop's unventilated case was responsible. Checking online, I discovered screen failures aren't uncommon for Chuwi's less-expensive laptops. Second update: After a few months I booted my ailing Chuwi again hoping to fix it. To my surprise and relief, it returned to full life, its display working perfectly. Why the screen failed and, now, why its working perfectly remain a mystery. Hardware malfunction, got too hot, Windows glitch? There's no telling. I'm just thankful it's working again. Hot tip, literally: For safety's sake, I'm putting the Chuwi onto a two-fan cooling platform whenever I use it. For less than $15 that accessory is cheap insurance. ... show more

  • Best customer support I've had in years (EDIT: apparently that was a fluke)
Let me start by saying that I did have a technical problem with the computer. The charge cable became loose and wouldn't charge the computer reliably. So I can't honestly give a good review for its performance. But it was me, not Chuwi, who decided it wasn't worth trying to fix - my situation had changed since I'd bought the computer and I no longer really needed it. Here's what impressed me about this company. Every time I sent them an email, I got a reply within 24 hours. I mean a USEFUL reply that clearly came from a human being who had read and understood my email and made an effort to actually help me. I can't remember the last time I was able to say that about any customer service. They offered two different solutions to my problem - a replacement power cord or a refund. When I asked for the replacement, and told them my address had changed, they said they'd send it right out and I didn't even have to fill out any forms. A few weeks later, the cord hadn't arrived, and I'd spoken to a friend who could repair my previous computer. So I wrote Chuwi, asked what had happened, and said that IF there had been some mixup and the cord hadn't been sent, on second thought, I'd rather have the refund. I certainly didn't expect them to send me a replacement cord AND a refund. Well, it turned out the cord has been in Los Angeles for two weeks (in quarantine, maybe?), but it IS on the way, so I would absolutely have understood if they'd said I should try it first, and they'd give me a refund if it didn't work. But instead, they gave me a US address to send the computer to and processed the refund right away. So I can't guarantee that if you buy a computer from Chuwi, it will work properly. On the other hand, I can't guarantee that about ANY company - my computer before last was an Asus and had the exact same problem as this one. But if or WHEN something does go wrong, they're willing and able to help, and just because of that, I'd be happy to buy from Chuwi again the next time I need a computer. EDIT: I did buy from Chuwi again, although not through Amazon. Less than a year later the power cord broke. I spent two months trying to get it replaced with no success. I couldn't get anyone to respond to me in real time, so it took forever to have a conversation, and everyone I spoke to said it was someone else's problem. One representative got very snippy with me for telling him that knowing the voltage and amperage wasn't enough to just buy a replacement myself. How can anyone work in this industry and not know there are multiple different sizes and shapes of chargers? This is NOT a good company. This is a terrible, stupid, bureaucratic company just like every other one, that apparently has ONE good representative whom I was lucky enough to speak to earlier this year. I wouldn't take that risk if I were you. ... show more

  • Good for moderate use
I bought this replace an old HP DV9730 as my go-to laptop. These two are completely different in terms of processing power and capabilities, but I paid close to $1100 for the HP, and $279 for the HeroBook. Do not think you'll be getting a world-class laptop. The Chuwi seems to solid, light and capable. I've added and additional 256G microSD card in the external slot to give this a full 512G of memory, though the specs say that the TF slot only can take up to 128G. The laptop recognizes the card and I can add/delete at will. It charges at a reasonable rate and has a good battery charge, capable of 8-10 hours of use. One thing I noticed and have seen on some of these reviews is that there is a perceived problem with the charging. It should be noted that the charge port on the left side is exactly the same size as the headphone port on the right, and you can plug the charger into the headphone port and think you should be charging it, so be advised. The body of the laptop is PLASTIC, contrary to some of the Q&A discussions above. The Chuwi has taken a major Windows 10 upgrade from Microsoft without problem (version 2004). A dxdiag inquiry in the "run" screen" shows 64-bit Windows, Intel Celeron N4000C CPU @ 1.1Ghz (2 CPUs), 8192MB RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 600 graphics card w/4134MB display memory, Realtek audio speakers (sounds OK), Realtek microphone, Microsoft USB 2.0 camera. I'm running Firefox as my browser and Malwarebytes along with Microsoft Defender to keep the bad guys at bay. Mousepad is big and responsive. I've found that the lower right corner of the pad is for right-clicking. Keyboard layout is good and is NOT backlit. I didnt find that the laptop ran particularly hot but haven't really put it through its paces, but it's not a gaming laptop for sure. I usually have it placed on a flat surface, and it does fine and doesn't overheat. Display is good and clear. For the money, its a good laptop and an additional 256G of memory makes this a light-weight full Windows-supported travel companion with WiFi and bluetooth support. Ive seen the price go up a few times, so get it while its under $300. ... show more

  • Poor touch pad
This is a decent general purpose computer although slow and only useful for general purposes. Everything seems adequate, with the big exception of the touch pad which is big and has different characteristics, depending on the position of your finger. With the finger in the center of the touch pad it works fine but, if the finger is not very near to the center sometimes there is no reaction or the reaction to the finger touch is different than expected. It can be extremely frustrating and I definitely would not buy this computer again. ... show more

  • A very pleasant surprise!
My new laptop arrived this morning and honestly, for the price, I wasn't expecting to be impressed. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I had it set up and all the updates installed in about an hour. I also purchased an external dvd drive so i could install the applications I normally use and everything just works perfectly. I saw some comments about it being slow, but that hasn't been my experience. Start up and opening applications are quick and easy. I was also impressed by the packaging. It was securely packaged with plenty of cushioning to keep it safe. Documentation was included as well as business card with support and contact information. **UPDATE** My original review I gave it 4 stars because I didn't think it came with a recovery partition....I was wrong and should have been more thorough in my inspection. The recovery partition there. It's just hidden. Changed my rating to 5 stars. For the money, this is an awesome little computer. Love it! ... show more

  • VERY Responsive Customer Service
I was extremely impressed with how attentive the Support team was, when I contacted them with a question and an issue with my laptop. While this ended up not being the model that fit my lifestyle, they took my product feedback and replied diligently across days. They also managed to sell me up to the next-higher model, the LapBook Pro, which I have been absolutely thrilled with. A surprisingly impressive 1080P screen, a tiny form factor and solid metal construction make this a great carry-on laptop. The HeroBook Pro doesn't have a lot of horsepower and that's actually literally why I sought it out. I was looking for low-watt Intel thin'n'lights that have power-sipping CPU's and not a giant charging brick for a tiny travel bag, without forfeiting screen resolution. The $250 price tag make Chuwi's lineup attractive, and the qualtiy metal construction made it a good value, I feel. I would suggest, if you can, looking at the next-up model (the LapBook Pro) for juuuuuust the right amount of power for on-the-go, even for streaming intense 3D games from Steam Link or GeForce Now. But, if you just want to watch downloaded videos or catch up on email, the HeroBook Pro will accomplish all the fundamental tasks. Its 8GB RAM is enough to happily run Win10. It screen is better than the cheap 768p panels on MOST budget devices. And it isn't limited to ChromeOS despite being half the price of many/most prominent branded Chromebooks. ... show more
