Third-party reviews

What customers like about Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 80QL000AUS (8GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent value for money, often costing significantly less than comparable Surface Pro models
  • Includes both the folio keyboard and active stylus in the box
  • High-quality 12-inch display with 2160 x 1440 resolution and good color reproduction
  • Unique 'watchband' hinge provides a sturdy and highly adjustable kickstand
  • Fanless design ensures completely silent operation
  • Premium build quality featuring a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis
  • Lightweight and portable, weighing approximately 780g without the keyboard

What customers don't like about Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 80QL000AUS (8GB + 128GB)

  • Keyboard performance can be unreliable, with reports of missed key presses and a shallow 1.14mm travel
  • Battery life is generally shorter than competitors, typically lasting between 4 to 7 hours in real-world use
  • Keyboard lacks backlighting, making it difficult to use in low-light environments
  • Limited port selection; charging uses one of the two available USB ports
  • Speakers are described as tinny and lack sufficient volume for larger rooms
  • Core M series processor struggles with intensive tasks like high-end gaming or 4K video editing
  • Trackpad is relatively small and can be prone to accidental glitches

Verdict

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700 (80QL000AUS) is a versatile 2-in-1 Windows tablet featuring a 12-inch FHD+ IPS touchscreen with a 2160 x 1440 resolution, powered by a fanless Intel Core m5-6Y54 processor, 8GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 128GB SSD. Its standout characteristics include a unique watchband-style hinge kickstand for flexible viewing angles and an included detachable magnetic folio keyboard. Main pros consist of its silent, fanless operation, a high-quality display with active stylus support, and a lightweight design (approximately 1.7 lbs) that offers a more affordable alternative to the Surface Pro series. However, notable cons include a non-backlit keyboard that some users find prone to missed keystrokes, relatively weak audio volume from side-mounted speakers, and a battery life that often falls short of the advertised nine hours during real-world usage.
