The Lenovo Miix 2 tries to pack the full Windows 8.1 experience into an 8-inch tablet. With the arrival of Windows 8, the concept of a PC is a wholly different beast to the chunky laptops and desktop towers of yesteryear that pop into our heads. So how ...

I'll give credit where credit is due: Lenovo has attempted to make a decent, low-cost 8-inch tablet that runs a full copy of Windows 8.1. The use of aluminum as part of the Miix 2 8's slim design is great to see, and its overall size is quite comfortable...

Lenovo provides a lot of value with the Miix 2 8 for $299. The Bay Trail processor provides decent performance, while the 8-inch display makes the highly portable form a reality. That processor means the Miix 2 8 runs full Windows 8.1, and the inclusio...

This attractive, well-made, and affordable Windows 8.1 tablet performs well and has a good-looking screen. It's a fine budget pick until 64-bit-capable Atom tablets emerge. ...
