At the same time, integrating the Android 5.1 system with the win 10 system is a selling point for HiBox. The dual system provides a solution to make full use of the living room TV. There are some software, such as commonly used graphics, non-linear editing, pc games and other software requirements for the windows system to run, and other popular multimedia applications for set-top boxes choose Android more flexible and convenient. 
Through the translucent package of the host computer, you can see the Intel processor mark printed on the top cover of the HiBox. In the past two years, the dual system launched by Intel has matured through market verification. Many dual-system digital products are powered by Intel processors. Dual-system flat-panel market, such as millet, Onda, Taipower and so on. However, these products are mostly in the tablet area, and many applications of the windows system require large screens for fine operation and viewing. Therefore, the advantages of the windows system on the small screen compared with the use of the Android system are not significant. While HiBox's PC box complements each other, eliminating the cost of the screen, focusing on the performance of the fuselage, you can carry around to connect to the monitor, television, projection. 
HiBox can be placed horizontally or wall-mounted, so a metal metal hanger is included in the package. Other accessories also have a 12V 2A DC voltage regulator, an HDMI HD cable. 
As a PC host on the palm, its thickness is only 2cm, and its length and width are only 11.5cm. The entire host uses a nano-injection molding, the advantages of this process can be felt in the hands, the first is the corners of the edge of the sleek processing, the material surface of the delicate handle feel good, accurate mold opening. 
Although the sparrow is small and fully-equipped, the HiBox interface configuration is still relatively complete, in addition to the power line interface, there are HDMI interface, there are three USB ports (one is USB 3.0), SD card slot, network interface and 3.5mm headphones interface. Among them, the network interface adopts Gigabit Ethernet, and WiFi supports 2.4G/5G dual-band. It does not need to worry about the performance of the network card in a short time. 
Interfaces are distributed on both sides of the fuselage, although the arrangement is dense but not conflicting and crowded, the design is reasonable. 
Three USB ports, even in laptops, are not common, and there is an SD card slot that allows users to save extra external readers. In addition to providing convenient plug-and-play service in daily use, these interfaces can also be connected to external hard drives for long-term expansion of storage space. 
The side panel has two small holes. This is a built-in dual-digital microphone. It has a higher sensitivity than an ordinary analog microphone. It has a high-quality vocal effect microphone, and it has a strong pickup ability. Squelch, improve speech intelligibility, in the chat, note recording than the desktop analog microphone is much better. 
ChiBox does not use a specially-customized power supply. Instead, it uses a standard DC power supply with a connector diameter of 5.5mm and 12V 2A. The advantage of using this power supply is that it can be purchased everywhere. Many routers, set-top boxes, and surveillance cameras can be used. Universal. When you go out and carry a HiBox, if you have such a power supply and HDMI cable at your destination, you can use only the host in the past. This makes it easier to use between multiple locations. 
The fuselage can be placed horizontally. It is also possible to use the bottom central rack-mounting slot, which can be wall-mounted with the attached hanger. The rack supports newer models and the monitor's backboard is fixed. After the installation, the host computer can hide behind the monitor. If the monitor is viewed from the front, it will have an all-in-one effect. 
System Experience
The hardware is the basis, and the smoothness of the system is mainly controlled by the hardware configuration. The HiBox CPU uses the Intel 14nm Atom x5-Z8350 4-core processor, memory 4G, and 64G solid-state drive, which is similar to the mainstream Internet notebook configuration on the market. The biggest difference from the single-system laptop after startup is the addition of a dual-system selection page for Android. Left Android and right Microsoft. If there is no operation, it will enter the win 10 system by default. This is in line with the usage habits of desktop computers. 
If you select the Android system, you will enter the initial Android interface, the horizontal screen display is similar to the simulator, the native Android 5.1 system, the interface has not been optimized or added topics. There is no restriction on the function of the system. However, when the software is installed, the installation interface displays English and needs to be manually set to Chinese. 
If you use the HiBox as a TV set-top box, you can use the built-in iQIYI direct video on demand program, you can also install third-party software in the Android system to extend the functionality, such as the installation of the software when the shellfish market, so that the box Playability is greatly improved. 
The Android system is mainly used for audio and video entertainment, especially mobile games, but for the working software, the experience is not as comfortable as the Win10 system. Many Android system's APP resolution does not reach the best display of the large-screen display, and the Microsoft system, as the origin of many working software, is more suitable for these software fine operations, such as photoshop, CAD, and non-linear editing. 
Enter the Win 10 familiar interface, browse the web or watch the website video is very smooth, and open 10 tags will not be stuck, in such applications can not feel the same with the configuration desktop PC difference. HiBox has low energy consumption and good media applications. It is smaller in size and can completely replace the HTPC in the living room. 
Test to play HD movies in several mobile hard drives. In order to get the best playback results, the host's own USB3.0 can not be wasted, mobile storage use Type-C interface orico hard disk box. In the picture below, the MKV format is used. 1080P's "Machinist 3" is clear and smooth, and it doesn't stop at random. 
The small size is more suitable for office work. Take out the bag and connect the monitor to a fully functional computer. Remote control, multimedia production, OFFICE software, various software's response speed is very fast, barely aware of the difference between this palm-sized PC and ordinary computers, which is also related to the use of SSDs, 64G SSDs Although the capacity is small, the advantage of comparing the mechanical hard disk with the response speed is more obvious. 
Running points is an intuitive way to check the product's comprehensive ability. Through Master Lu's test, the total score for HiBox reached 33,000. The score range is probably in the range of entry-level PCs. It can be said that except that you can't play video games, everyday There is no problem with work or media applications. 
Application scenario
In addition to some older models of displays and TVs that use VGA/HDMI conversion heads, many newer display devices have HDMI interfaces, which makes it easier to use the HiBox. This allows the disorganized desktop to be refreshed. Keyboards and other peripherals can be connected via Bluetooth. For example, only one power cable and one HDMI cable can be used to enable HiBox to work. 
Even the HDMI HD cable can be saved, leaving only one power cord to work. Chihiro's dual systems can use wireless projection to wirelessly connect projection devices or wireless displays. The Pa02 projection in the figure below is similar to ChiBox's HiBox wireless display through the Win10 system. The split display can be implemented as required. Both are mini-devices and the portability is very obvious. 
ChiBox has a rich interface and complete functions. Many peripherals can be easily used without having to configure a variety of adapters, such as gamepads, squirrels, and Bluetooth speakers. These peripherals can be connected to the box in a variety of ways. There are multiple ways to output only the sound: 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI connection, DLNA, Bluetooth. 
Not fan cooling is an advantage of the Z8350 processor, which reduces power consumption and noise. Of course, long-term use of high-power applications will still cause the body to heat, but the stability of HiBox has stood by. The test, watching 1080P HD video, installation software, performance testing, etc., continuous work for nearly two hours, the top cover temperature is close to 40.8 degrees Celsius, and did not cause heat to crash due to poor heat dissipation from the plastic housing. 
If you're running out of business and you're having a problem with your notebook, put HiBox into your bag and connect to the client where you want the projector to project. However, the keyboard mouse must be ready in advance. This is also equivalent to traveling more than one mobile office emergency computer, as long as the HDMI interface display device can become a standby machine. 
to sum up
Chi is HiBox positioning media playback and office applications, built-in Win10 and Android dual system, can be used as a set-top box or a PC host. If used as a set-top box, its configuration can be described as a fighter in a set-top box. Native Android can install a variety of APPs, allowing you to toss enough. If you switch to a PC host, it's on-line work, media applications can also meet the requirements. It has advantages in many respects compared with desktop PCs. It is small in size, easy to carry or covertly installed, and it also saves a lot of power consumption compared with desktop computers. It also has a fanless and quiet operation. It can be assumed that Chi has a better application prospect for HiBox, which is the terminator of HTPC.
Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
The Terminator of Desktop Computers Becomes HiBox Experience
The HTPC at home is more and more unwilling to see. The reason is that many functions are stolen by the set-top box. The traditional PC architecture limits its evolution in size. Even the mini-HTPC is still a big man, even more than 100W of power consumption. The whirring wind noise is destined to be just a flower in the living room. Chi Box launched HiBox as the successor to HTPC has a dual function of PC and TV box, and the volume is only 120 * 120 * 25mm, to meet the graphic office, high-definition video, web browsing and other light applications. As a 799 yuan mini PC host, it can not replace HTPC? Let's experience it with everyone.
