Did look at a few options from Chuwi, one of them the Surbook and the Hi13. Also similar ones from Teclast and Onda.

But the CUBE i9/Joi 12 seem to tick the most boxes, especially with local warranty and not having to deal with unknown overseas sellers. I find the resolution completely servicable, if not lacking in outdoor brightness, and certaily appreciate the quicker 128GB SSD, especially when dealing with larger file sizes.

the 4Gb Ram is a bit lacking, especially if doing some light mobile photoshop the m3 is capable off. It is something I have to work around. I previously had a Asus T100 Transformer with 2Gb of RAM and managed decently.
The camera issue sorted itself out after some driver updates, but still get some very rare incidence of phantom start menu activation.
Now shopping for a aftermarket Type-C charger so I only need to take a single charger for all my devices, and a Type-C PD Powerbank that can charge 30W/40W through Type C. My Xiaomi 20k QC3 18W takes a whole night to charge the tablet up with it powered off. I suspect its not charging at anywhere near its 18W output. The Anker ones look promissing but expensive as heck.
