I've not had the pleasure; but if it runs Windows, especially on native, non-emulated Intel architecture, there shouldn't be any issues.
Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Home Computer: the first home computer with a 16bit processor, crammed into an 8bit architecture. Great hardware - Poor design - Wonderful BASIC engine. And it could talk too! Please visit my YouTube Channel :D

So, I managed to pick up a Fujitsu Stylistic Q702 Win10 'convertible' which had just come off Corporate PC Lease, for not much more than the Chuwi Hi8, and it does the job perfectly! :D
The great thing about it is that it runs a no-compromise i5 processor (not atom); it boots fast and runs everything I've thrown at it (programming suite, video production s/w etc). Have been able to get by without the keyboard dock most of the time (using just on-screen keyboard, touch and occasionally wireless mouse with the 'tablet' part). For navigational ease, wouldn't want the screen size to be any smaller though.
Just completed my first PB app on it:

It feels surreal to get the 'PC experience' in a tablet form factor (using a device that's a few years old no less)
