Lenovo has announced the launch of "Miix", a new Windows 8 tablet at relatively affordable cost.
The new Lenovo Miix completes the range of multimode as said by the Chinese manufacturer products. An optional keyboard case can actually be used like a conventional laptop with it.
The tablet is based on the x86 architecture, which allows it to run on Windows 8 (as opposed to Windows RT) and all Windows software, in addition to the Modern UI of Windows Store applications. Unfortunately Microsoft Office 2013 does not seems to come with it.
Miix is almost an economic variant of the ThinkPad Tablet 2. Its non-slip shell and HD touch screen of 10.1-inch, also with an Intel Atom Z2760 processor (two cores with Hyper-Threading clocked at 1.8 GHz) and a 64 GB SSD, makes it a good adversary.
But wireless connectivity sticks to Wi-Fi, NFC and 3G or 4G is not available, the sensor has gone back to 1.3 million pixels (1280 x 1024 pixels), but also and especially the screen no longer supports electromagnetic induction stylus, which is similar to a Wacom tablet.
The Lenovo tablet Miix must be sold in exchange for $500 from the third quarter of 2013. This price does not include the keyboard, which will be sold for $50 separately. No date and prices are reported till yet.
