Verdict

The Lenovo Miix 2 (2GB + 128GB) is a versatile Windows 8.1 tablet featuring an 8-inch WXGA (1280x800) IPS touchscreen and an Intel Atom Z3740 quad-core processor. This specific high-capacity model provides 128GB of internal storage alongside 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and integrated 3G connectivity for mobile data access. Its main pros include an exceptionally slim (8.35mm) and lightweight (350g) design, a bright display with wide viewing angles, and the inclusion of full Microsoft Office Home & Student. However, notable cons include limited performance for heavy multitasking due to the 2GB of RAM, a lack of dedicated video output like HDMI, and subpar internal speaker quality.
