Reviews for the Lenovo Miix 2 8
Windows for your handbag. Is there a small, 8-inch tablet complete with Windows 8.1, a solid IPS panel and a full version of Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Students for 300 Euros (~$410), you ask? Yes! The Lenovo Miix 2 fulfills all these wishes and then some. We tested it extensively to see what it can do.

Pushing Windows 8/8.1 onto a broader array of devices is a smart move on Lenovo’s part. It offers greater compatibility between its products and a unique level of flexibility over mobile-centric rival offerings using Android and iOS, but there are drawbacks…

With some adjustments, the Lenovo Miix 2 8in may have been a contender: it’s well equipped, attractive and fast. However, the washed-out display, insubstantial build and the lack of a video output sour its appeal. In a market where competition is fierce, and prices cut-throat, this tablet simply hasn’t got it where it counts.

The Lenovo Miix 2 8 lasted a healthy 9 hours and 59 minutes in our battery tests, so has enough stamina to last a day of working or browsing. The Miix is a solid Windows 8.1 tablet that looks smart, performs well and is reasonably priced. As the Lenovo Miix 2 8 also comes with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013, this makes it even better value; if you want an 8in Windows 8.1 tablet for work and play, it’s a great choice.

With some adjustments, the Lenovo Miix 2 8in might have been a contender for the A-List crown; it's generously equipped, attractive and fast, and it even comes with a copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student preloaded, however, we simply can't get over that washed-out display, the lack of video output and the high price. In a market where competition is fierce, and prices cutthroat, this tablet simply hasn't got it where it counts.

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. But you'll need to keep your expectations in check, as the Miix 2 8 struggles under more intensive workloads.

However the Miix 2 8 is a tablet that I simply cannot recommend. Touchscreen issues, most prevalent when using the keyboard, make this device incredibly frustrating to use (see our video review in the first page, around the 6:10 mark). The performance from Intel’s Atom Z3740 SoC is generally quite decent, but having to purposefully type slowly, or wait extended periods of time just to have the touchscreen respond, is simply unacceptable on any device at any price point. Yes, there is a chance that a software update could address the touchscreen issues, and I will update this review accordingly if and when any issues are fixed. I would have easily scored Lenovo's Windows tablet an 80, but the fact that there are significant issues to deal with, combined with the display’s relatively low resolution, makes the Miix 2 8 a low-cost 8-inch tablet that you should avoid.

The Miix 2 8 is an excellent tablet, but this market is expanding rapidly and details matter. For me, the more dimmable screen on Dell’s Venue Pro 8 makes it a better nighttime reader. For others, the micro HDMI port on Toshiba’s Encore 8 , or the active Wacom digitizer in the Asus VivoTab Note 8, will be must-have features. The Miix 2 8’s great performance isn’t enough for it to rise above comparably priced competitors with more features.

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, but the Miix 2 8 may well appeal to Windows users who want a pocket-size tablet that will also allow them to view their Office documents when they're out and about.

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 inclusion of Microsoft Office makes it an even better value.

That said, if you want to keep your expenditure to (just) under $300 (before accessories), the Miix 2 8 makes a strong argument for buying a Windows 8 tablet instead of a cheap laptop, Chromebook, first-generation Apple iPad mini, or Android tablet. It has a higher resolution screen than most of those devices. The Miix 2 8 can also access the full Windows-compatible app library and will work with the same browser plug-ins as your home laptop. The skimpy leftover free storage concerns us quite a bit, so the Miix 2 8 just misses taking over as our latest Editors' Choice Windows 8 tablet, but it should be on your short list if you have access to a 64GB microSD card to shove into the Miix 2 8's expansion slot.

The $299 Lenovo Miix 2 is the best entry yet in the still-young market of smaller Windows 8 tablets. The slate's Bay Trail processor and strong battery provides plenty of pep and endurance for work and play. Plus, its bright, lucid screen outshines the competition.

The Lenovo Miix 2 is an 8-inch Windows 8.1-powered tablet that provides good performance in a small, lightweight size. The best part about it is that it runs the full version of Windows 8.1, not the lightweight, RT version.

这个屏幕尺寸介于智能手机和平板的边缘。大部分平板电脑都采用更大尺寸的屏幕,不过也有一些智能手机提供了这样大的屏幕。
大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
