Abstract: The Miix 2 8 uses a quad-core 1.3GHz Intel Atom Z3740 processor, and is no slouch. In our SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, which tests browser performance, we saw a score of 424.6ms from the Miix 2 8, which means the tablet won't have a problem with compli...
Works well at most tasks despite average specs, Bright display, Good sound quality
Windows 8.1 OS still lags behind rivals, Low on features, Cheaper Android slates have the upper hand
Yes there are better Android slates out there for the same price and Windows will always lag behind its arch OS rivals in the apps and games department, but if you’re a Windows fan looking for a solid compact, then you won’t find much better than the Mi...

Average quality front and rear facing cameras, 2GB of RAM is rather small for the 32GB model, No physical keyboard included, No DisplayPort or HDMI output included, Apps tend to freeze up on occasion, Stylus pen and protective storage cover cost extra
It would not be fair to compare the performance of the Lenovo Miix 2 to the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet since the two devices are not meant for the same purpose. The Miix 2 will provide you with access to the functions you need to get through your day ...

Light, Nice design, Good startup speeds, Nice screen, Decent price
Not that powerful, Full version of Windows 8.1 is wasted, Not much space on 32GB versions
For a small tablet that's easy to hold and carry around, the Lenovo Miix 2 8 doesn't get much wrong. It's certainly one of the nicer 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet's we've tried. For simple tasks and running full-screen apps, the Lenovo Miix 2 8 performs well...
With its attractive, compact design and sub-£300 price tag the Miix 2 8 is one of the new Windows tablets that provides a more affordable alternative to the Microsoft Surface. It can't go head-to-head with the iPad and Android tablets in terms of apps, bu...

Abstract: Intel's Bay Trail-class Atom processors make it easy for PC manufacturers to build powerful tablets with a key feature that competitors like Google's Nexus 7 and Apple's iPad mini can't deliver: The ability to run Windows 8.1 and all the apps available fo...
Very versatile, Smooth performance, Able to use desktop software
Desktop mode has low touch sensitivity, Low max Volume
After taking a good look at the Lenovo Miix 2 8, we would definitely suggest this device to those looking for a smaller solution to a laptop but prefer the easy navigation of a tablet. Despite the small flaws from its volume level and touch screen on the...
Good performance, Versatile platform and ecosystem, Impressive battery life, Very Affordable, Expandable internal & external storage
OS eats up a lot of internal storage
The Miix 2 is a very capable tablet but not a tablet for everyone. It can be complicated or cumbersome for some folks but it is very powerful and versatile. If you need a simple and elegant device just to run apps and games, you might be better off with a...
