Verdict

The Lenovo Miix 3 8 is a compact 7.85-inch Windows 8.1 tablet powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F processor with a burst frequency up to 1.83GHz. This specific model features 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage, which is expandable up to 64GB via a dedicated microSD slot. Its IPS LCD display has a 1024 x 768 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio, complemented by 2MP front and rear cameras and a 15Wh (approx. 3000mAh) battery. Main pros include its sturdy aluminum body, lightweight 374g design for high portability, and the ability to run full desktop Windows applications. However, significant cons include the relatively low screen resolution compared to its predecessor, limited onboard storage with only about 15-18GB actually available to the user, and mediocre speaker volume.
