70% Lenovo Miix review: a Windows tablet that works well as an entertainment device
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Its modest specification means that the Miix 10 isn't as powerful as rival tablets such as the Microsoft Surface. However, it's reasonably priced and its attractive IPS screen ensures that it works well as an entertainment tablet while still having enough power to handle basic email and Microsoft Office documents.

Lenovo's Miix 10 is a solid hybrid: It's comfortable and responsive, and the optional keyboard cover is a cut above. But so is the price tag for a generation-old processor.

The Transformer Book is not without flaws, however. It feels like a $399 device, for starters—especially its stiff keyboard dock and flakey touchpad. But it’s hard to argue with the battery life and performance for the price. Lenovo makes a great keyboard, but it’s not $180 better.

Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 10 Tablet is a solid entry into the ever expanding category of Atom-powered tablet PCs. While the overall performance and battery life don't deviate too drastically from the average, it does have the downside of not being sold with any sort of keyboard, an accessory offered bundled with or sold alongside most competitors. With or without a keyboard, the Lenovo Miix 10 is a thoroughly middle-of-the-road offering, without much to distinguish it from its peers. The current Editors' Choice for Windows Tablets remains the Microsoft Surface Pro.

The Lenovo Miix is more than capable of serving the needs of some people, but it's a definite niche. If the question is should the average person get this instead of an Ultrabook (even a low-end one that comes in at a similar price point), then the answer is no. The Asus VivoBook S200 is almost certainly a better bet.

Yet we remain enamoured with Lenovo's Miix 10. It’s a capable performer for work, and for sitting back on the sofa and keeping an eye on Twitter feeds, and it's light enough for both purposes. It falls short of an award, but by a margin slimmer than its slender frame.

Lenovo IdeaTab Miix 10 64GB

The Lenovo Pad Miix is a Windows 8 tablet with a keyboard that is remarkably slim and light. As it is less than 1 cm thick and weighs 0.6 kg, it is an extremely ultra portable Windows 8 device that is perfect for light tasks. With a understated black bezel and silver back, it looks nice enough and it certainly feels well built. Its 10.1 inch screen features a 1366 x 768 resolution, which is unusual for a tablet and makes it extremely tall in portrait orientation. It comes with an aesthetically minimalist case that houses the keyboard and folds out into a dock that holds the tablet in place with magnets. The keyboard does not feature a touchpad and since the only micro USB port is used to dock it - the only way to connect a mouse is through Bluetooth. The power of this device comes from the Intel Atom Z2760 processor, a 1.8GHz dual-core chip. This is decent for most Android tablets, but in Windows 8 there will be instances of lag during multitasking.

A 64GB SSD hard drive allows the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix to wake up extremely fast, and the microSD slot allows you to add more storage if necessary. The battery life is decent enough when compared to the competition, lasting about 10 hours of light use. At the end of the day, the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix is a nifty little device but the lack of a second USB port or touchpad and the price point just make it a bad choice.

Keyboard-tablet. The little Miix 10 wants to be a tool for devoted Windows users: the advantages of a tablet's mobility but without having to rethink operations. The manufacturer adds a keyboard-case in the box so that typing emails is normal routine. The competition cannot offer this for less than 500 Euros (~$666).

Lenovo's Miix 10 is a mid-priced full Windows tablet. It has a nice size and offers a slightly better screen than most in this price range but there just isn't enough to really distinguish it from a number of other offerings. In fact, the best feature is the fact that it has a dedicated power connector that means it charges much faster than most tablets that use USB charging.

Lenovo Miix 2 11

The Lenovo Miix 2 11 was created to compete with the Asus Transformer Book T100TA, Samsung Ativ Smart PC XE500T1C and any other similar class laptop tablet hybrids. While it is wonderful to have PC-like experience in table form, there are just too many shortcomings to really be useful as PC. Made from an all plastic construction, the Lenovo Miix 2 11 still maintains a good design profile while sporting an 11.6 inch FHD display.

The tablet attaches to the keyboard using a magnetic connector and can be flipped to allow touchscreen access only. The hardware includes an Intel Core i3-4012Y (1.5 GHz) or Intel i5-4202Y (1.6 GHz); depending on the variant, up to 8 GB DDR3L on-board RAM and an integrated Intel HD graphic chip. Besides this, the Lenovo Miix 2 11 also packs a 256 GB SSD. MicroSD cards up to 2 TB are supported.

The sound quality is good with integrated JBL stereo speakers with subwoofer. The weight is kept at 800 g without battery which makes the device ultra-portable. The battery life of around 6 hours of WiFi browsing is good. Any other usage besides this will pose a challenge as the device is just not powerful enough.

Source: PC Pro English Archive.org version
On paper, with plenty of hardware packed in, a decent display and battery life, plus a bundled keyboard dock, the Lenovo Miix 2 11in looks pretty good value. The Core i5 version we tested comes in at £656 inc VAT including the keyboard dock and 256GB storage; the Core i5 Surface Pro 3 with 256GB costs £1,109 - nearly double - and that's without the keyboard, which costs another £110. The problem for the Miix 2 11in is that its keyboard dock is so poorly designed that it's hardly worth having – and that undermines a lot of what makes the Miix 2 such an attractive proposition in the first place. It's so close to being a good product, but we can't recommend it.

If you stick with basic tasks like productivity, web browsing and Windows Store apps, then the Lenovo Miix 2 (11") offers a quality user experience. But for anything more advanced, it's bedlam. The Miix 2 will have trouble competing with rivals like the Asus Transformer Book T100TA, which offers much better performance per pound spent.

The superior Surface Pro? With its IdeaPad Miix 700, Lenovo aims to win potential Surface Pro 4 buyers. A keyboard dock and ActivePen are included and do not have to be purchased separately. The other equipment is also appropriate: A bright, high-contrast screen and fast SSD are on board. The installed Core M processor ensures noiseless operation. The entire bundle is even cheaper than a comparable Surface Pro 4 package.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 is an excellent value for the money. The keyboard gives you the flexibility of a laptop, and unlike the Surface Pro 4, it's packed in. And battery life here is good, as is portability. It doesn't knock out the Surface Pro 4 as our high-end tablet top pick, because it costs about $500 less (or $630 if you add the Type Cover). If you're seeking a budget-friendly Surface Pro alternative, the Miix 700 is certainly worth a look.

But if you absolutely need all-day and all-night battery life in a highly portable Windows PC, take a long look at the Miix 310.

The lightweight Lenovo Ideapad Miix 310 detachable offers enough speed to get a modest amount of work done and enough battery life to go the distance, all for the affordably low price of $299. Unfortunately, while the display is colorful, it's too reflective, and the ho-hum audio isn't great for entertainment. We're also not fans of the awkward keyboard layout.

IdeaPad Miix 700 Review: It’s been worth the wait
Source: Toptenreviews English Archive.org version
The keyboard leaves a lot to be desired, but if frequent typing isn’t your main reason for buying, this is a good all-round hybrid.

80% Review: Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700
Source: PC Authority English Archive.org version
The Miix 700 lacks the all-round refinement of the Surface Pro 4 then, but it’s a fine choice if you’re on a budget; ultimately, the price swings things in its favour. The Miix 700 is significantly cheaper than its “pro” rivals yet you’re getting a very similar specification. If you’ve been tempted by the charms of costlier hybrids, but couldn’t justify the outlay, the Miix 700 could prove to be the perfect alternative.

80% A great value Surface Pro 4 opponent
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Ideapad Miix 700 ticks lots of the right boxes. It’s lightweight and portable and pretty nippy compared with its similarly priced rivals. It’s still lacking the all-around refinement of the current hybrid leader, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, but it’s a solid all-rounder. It’s the price that swings it, though. The Miix 700 is cheaper than rivals, not to mention Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Tablet, yet you’re getting a very similar specification, and that’s a big bonus. Indeed, if you were tempted by the charms of pricier hybrids, but can’t quite justify the price, the Miix 700 could prove to be the perfect alternative.

Lenovo Miix 720 Windows 10 2-in-1 review, is it a Surface Pro 4 in disguise?
Source: On MSFT English Archive.org version
At the end of the day, the Lenovo Miix 720 is one of the best Surface Pro 4 clones. If you’re looking to save some money and pick up a device which is like the Surface Pro 4, while not breaking the bank, you should definitely pick up the Miix 720. You’ll enjoy a beautiful display, future proof USB C technology, a great pen and average keyboard, and amazing performance. You can purchase the unit as I had it configured for $1269.99, or you can explore other configurations, including a $1,158 unit within the Intel Core i5-7200U CPU, 8 GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.

Are the Miix 720's other virtues enough to offset its merely fair unplugged endurance? The Editors' Choice box at the beginning of this review gave our opinion away. Battery life aside, the 720 is a premium tablet 2-in-1 at a non-premium price. Its screen and keyboard are first-class; its kickstand and magnetic keyboard cover work elegantly; and its build quality is topnotch. Here's hoping Lenovo.com restocks soon.

Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720: Proper Competition for the iPad Pro and Surface Pro

With specifications that match the Surface Pro, the Miix 720 is a powerful computer in a highly mobile form factor that offers an excellent balance of price, power and performance. The excellent keyboard cover and active stylus are both included in the price of the tablet, and the Miix 720 promises to deliver similar Surface Pro-level performance.

The Surface Pro features a better keyboard and more speed, but at $1,758 for a configuration similar to that of the Mixx, it is much more expensive. But if you can adapt to the Miix 720's keyboard and take the charger with you, this is quite a capable 2-in-1.

There’s no doubt that the Lenovo Miix 720 is an impressive Surface Pro 4 rival. It might be a bit more expensive but includes the keyboard and has the latest specs including faster DDR4 memory and Intel’s new 7th-gen Kaby Lake processor. We’d like to know what the base price gets you and there’s also the complication of the upcoming Surface Pro 5.

Lenovo Ideapad Miix 720-12IKB

The Lenovo Ideapad Miix 720-12IKB is a stylish and lightweight 2-in-1 detachable laptop. It combines a chic design with a stunning display that will help users breeze through any task. The 12-inch model promises full subnotebook capacity in a tablet with active fan cooling. In order to maximize connectivity in terms of the ports, Lenovo has built in a Type-C port with Thunderbird 3 as well as Type-A ports. At just 8.9 mm thin and weighing 780 g (without its detachable keyboard), the Miix 720 has a simple, streamlined design. Its one-piece metal alloy body paired with coordinated accessories make the Miix 720 a chic complement to user’s busy life. It is available in Champagne or Iron Gray color. The aluminum tablet is sturdy and stable. The stand is quite durable and warp resistant. The stand’s hinge is firmly connected and can be opened quite wide, securely supporting the tablet between 100 and 165 degrees. The keyboard mount is made of aluminum with a relatively high weight of 404 grams. The advantage of this design is in its strength and weight; even with a cavity underneath the keyboard surface, it remains rigid while typing. The premier feature is the screen in 3:2 resolution instead of the usual 16:9 display (2.880 x 1.920 pixels). The Miix 720 borrows these details from its smaller sibling, the Lenovo Miix 510 Pro (1.920 x 1.200; 16:10). Apart from the aforementioned similarities, the latter model had no Thunderbolt 3 or IR camera for Windows Hello, and only one FHD screen. The Miix 720 provides a personal, secure way to unlock the device without using a password. Thanks to the front-facing integrated infrared camera and Windows Hello support, the Miix 720 unlocks when it recognizes the user’s face in front of the screen. Alternately, it auto-locks when a user walks away. As for hardware specification, the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 is offered with the Core i7-7500U SoCs. The SSD is a 256 GB (M.2) while the RAM is a DDR4 8 GB RAM. As well as being quieter and smaller than a standard disk drive, the durable SSD is also more likely to withstand an accidental knock or drop. The Lenovo Active Pen 2 complements the Miix 720 as an additional interaction point. Writing and notes can be made with the pen just as easily as by hand. The active pen has a battery. It should be noted that the heel of the hand can rest on the screen without creating any input errors. The pen holder in the USB port is practical and simple. Detachable and full-sized, the keyboard on the Miix 720 has backlighting to highlight each key. It also boasts 1.5 mm of key travel to feel like tapping away on a standard keyboard.

Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Miix 510 is a mixed bag. It’s generally an excellent tablet and expands its features to a point when you can call it a notebook. However, while it’s good enough to call it a successful 2-in-1 device, there are several key features that are missing that cannot be overlooked by the majority of users.

Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720-12IKB-80VV005WGE

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720-12IKB-80VV005WGE is a convertible laptop for users on the go. This 2-in-1 detachable is stylish and lightweight, combining chic design with a stunning display that will help user breeze through any task. The aluminum tablet makes a stable and valuable impression. The tablet can be placed safely between 100 and 165 degrees. The keyboard is also made of aluminum, which results in a comparatively heavy weight of 404 grams. The advantage is the high strength because even with a cavity underneath, the key surface does not flex during typing. The 12-inch display has a resolution of 2,880 x 1,920 pixels, which is a rare 3: 2 format. Usually the widescreen competitors today use the ratio of 16:10 or 16:9. With its QHD+ configuration, it has six times as many pixels as a standard HD screen. The reflective touch display can provide high brightness and uniform illumination. Viewing angles are not an issue for the Miix 720 with the IPS panel. The view is error-free from any position. Under the hood, the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720-12IKB-80VV005WGE runs on a power-friendly Intel Core i3-7100U processor and 4 GB of RAM. As for storage, it features a 128 GB solid-state drive. This might not be much, but is enough for basic usage. It has become a norm for most users to have little space on their device and store most medias on an external hard disk drive anyways. The Miix 720 also has a high-resolution 5-MP webcam in the back. The webcam produces for rather pixelated shots. The camera is probably suitable for Skype Chat, but is definitely not enough to take decent photos which can be posted on social media. The Miix 720 provides a personal, secure way to unlock the device without using a password. Thanks to the front-facing integrated infrared camera and Windows Hello support, the Miix 720 unlocks when it recognizes a user face in front of the screen. Alternately, it auto-locks when the user walks away. It is nice to see more manufacturers making use of the Windows Hello feature. The Lenovo Active Pen 2 complements the Miix 720 as an additional interaction method. Handwriting and notes work well with the pen. The active pen has a battery. Something notable is the fact that the handball can rest on the screen without any errors while writing. The pen holder in the USB port is also quite practical. The keyboard on the Miix 720 has backlighting to highlight each key. It also boasts 1.5 mm of key travel to feel like tapping away on a standard keyboard. Lenovo claims that this delivers satisfying and hopefully more accurate typing experience. And when the user is on the move, the keyboard doubles up as a folio case to protect the screen. The Miix 720 is a very practical device with its portability, good keyboard and an included stylus. It will be suitable for business users on the go. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 510-12IKB-80XE000JGE

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 510-12IKB-80XE000JGE is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop. The 12.2-incher adapts to every moment, whatever users are doing. With unique watch band hinges, the Miix 510 is both a laptop and a tablet. Running on Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit, it has many features from fast start-ups to the expanded Start menu, from the all-new browser to Cortana, which is a digital personal assistant. With a premium one-piece aluminum chassis, the Miix 510 is bound to attract attention. Made from 280 individual pieces of stainless steel, the hinges provide strength and flexibility. Adjustable up to 150°, they help to find the perfect viewing angle for watching videos, typing or using the touchscreen. The convertible measures 15.9 x 300 x 205 mm and weighs 1.25 kg. The memory configuration is very good for this device. With 8 GB of RAM, users can easily work with several open programs or surfing tabs, and the 256 GB SSD offers enough storage space. The SSD delivers significantly faster read and write speeds than previous generations of storage options. Other competitors are more likely to deliver either better RAM or better SSD only. While 2-in-1 devices are often supplied by processors of the 4.5-watt class, the 15-watt class is featured here, namely the Core i5-7200U to provide better performance. However, this also causes two disadvantages: The processor develops correspondingly more waste heat, which must be dissipated by an active fan cooling, and the battery life is no longer despite the larger and heavier battery. The display can shine with an almost one hundred percent sRGB color space coverage and is not quite as reflective as other devices. Unfortunately, with 300 cd/m² brightness, it is not very bright. The display resolution is sufficient with 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. The user can take photos with the rear-facing 5 MP camera, then edit them in a snap by attaching the keyboard or use the optional Lenovo Active Pen to select them. USB Type-A and Type-C are also available. The detachable keyboard with optional backlight has 1.5 mm of key travel to closely replicate the typing feel of a laptop. And it doubles up as a folio case to protect the screen when users are on the move. The supplied stylus can be easily stowed away by a bracket that can be attached to the USB port. Whether voice or video calls, Miix 510 is optimized for VoIP with a 2 MP HD webcam and dual-array microphone. The microphone's noise cancellation technology reduces background noise and interference. As for audio, with Dolby-enabled stereo speakers, the user can enjoy crisp and immersive audio. The Miix 510-12IKB-80XE000JGE is a good, affordable alternative to the Surface Pro series but is comes with lesser features. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Great components. Lenovo's Surface Pro competitor can score with a strong quad-core processor, 16 GB of RAM, an NVMe SSD, a backlit keyboard, input pen and LTE modem. But despite its high price, the device is not free from issues.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

PowerVR SGX545:

Integrated GPU in a number of Intel Atom Clover Trail processors.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel HD Graphics 4200: Processor graphics card in some of the ULV Haswell CPUs with 20 EUs (GT2).

Intel HD Graphics 515: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on Core-m-CPUs of the Skylake generation (4,5 W TDP).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail): Integrated graphics card in the Cherry-Trail SoCs. Based on a Broadwell GPU (Intel Gen8) and supports DirectX 11.2. Depending on the SoC offers 12 or 16 EUs.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2) found on some Kaby-Lake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

Z2760: Soc with integrated dual core Atom processor clocked at up to 1.8 GHz (only Turbo?), a PowerVR SGX 545 based GPU clocked at 533 MHz and a dual channel LPDDR2-800 memory controller.

12.00:

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

74.66%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
