Bought one recently from a different seller stunning 1920x1200 screen got a decent atom processor as well as 2gb ram.
To potential buyers some advice and answer.
If you choose to you can delete android partition and have just full windows 10 and vice versa.
With both operating system on you get around 8-10gb space left in Windows so a micro sd card is advisable.
Also all of the Chinese apps that come pre installed can be removed except for chuwi store to remove so you need to root, this can be done easily using the kingo root method a 2 step process.
If you want you can do a fresh install of windows using Windows 10 32bit UK installer from Microsoft this will get rid of all the Chinese defaults. However make sure that your windows tablet reports as activated before doing so and also make sure to get the chuwi hi8 windows drivers - Google them.
Some bad points - No hdmi and the camera on it is rubbish, also if using headphones there is a very noticeable electrical buzzing and hiss which is more noticeable on the Android partition also when on Android and you have headphones plugged in video playback may stutter due to the headphones causing some sort of electrical interference.
Also although likely a YouTube bug, full 1080p on the Android app is not viable only 720p but on Windows it's fine.
The on board speakers is fine for general use but is awkwardly placed muffling sounds.
Overall it's a great device for the price very smooth and great screen
you'll not have any issues at this price. They only get involved with individual orders over £99

I paid for express shipping, and it came via DHL, who sent me an 'after the fact' bill for £21, £10 of which was for their 'administration fee', because they paid customs for me so I could get it quicker, so swings and roundabouts. Still very happy with the purchase though, even with the £21 on top

Luckily nothing.
It's no trouble at all. If you wish you can remove either of the OS's.

If you remove one of them, can you go back or is it permanent?
