Spotted: Lenovo Miix 2 8 inch Tablet

Guess your looking for a Windows tablet too. Like me, I have been on a constant look out for prospects... Behold, the Lenovo Miix 2 8 inch Windows Tablet which the manufacturer officially launch although it took time to get on the shelves.


The New Lenovo Miix 2 offers a 8 inch HD WXGA (1280 x 800) IPS Display powered by Intel Baytrail Processor clocked at 1.33GHz coupled with Intergrated Graphics and 2GB of RAM. Storage is at 64GB eMMC but don't fret a microSD slot  is available if you need more.

On the connectivity side, it houses a Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi b/g/n but NO GPS. On the flip side, this Miix 2 is the 3G variant so meaning you have data connectivity that its competition lacks. Other than that, it is equipped with 5MP (they say up to 8MP) rear and 2MP front for your portrait and video needs.

The device comes with stereo speakers and audio jack. Charging is via Micro-USB and supports as a host for OTG devices. Added software features includes Lenovo® Companion App, McAfee® Internet Security (30-day free trial), VeriFace® Pro, Lenovo® Cloud Storage, Evernote®, CyberLink YouCam, Skype™
and Zinio Online Newstand. It's a shocking though during the launch and other reviews that Microsoft Office is pre-installed but it looks like you just get a TRIAL!!!

To sum it up, the Lenovo Miix 2 has potential with its bright and responsive IPS display, Ample 64GB storage and full Windows 8. However, I must say I kinda miss an HDMI Port and if I may request a Keyboard Dock. Trial Version for Microsoft Office is just plain SAD. Price at 21,999.00 that comes with (Free) Tablet Cover with Stylus. 

To be honest it has potential but it is underwhelm by Trial Version Only Office Suite which at present time is a NEED when buying Windows and at that price I could get myself a hybrid with keyboard dock in the name of ASUS Transformer T100. The Lenovo Miix 2 just edges out its competition with 3G other than that it just serves as alternative.

If you want one it is Now Available at Villman!!!
