Verdict

The Lenovo Miix 630 is a 12.3-inch 2-in-1 Windows tablet powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, featuring 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Its main characteristics include an integrated Snapdragon X16 modem for always-on 4G LTE connectivity, a fan-less silent design, and a sharp WUXGA+ (1920 x 1280) IPS touchscreen. Notable pros are its exceptional battery life of up to 20 hours, a premium aluminum build that weighs just 770g without the detachable backlit keyboard, and the inclusion of a digital pen and Windows Hello infrared facial recognition. However, primary cons involve limited performance for demanding Win32 applications due to ARM-based emulation, a restricted selection of ports consisting of only one USB-C and a microSD slot, and reports of occasional missed keystrokes on the keyboard.

Hands on: Lenovo Miix 630 review

The Lenovo Miix 630, reviewed by TechRadar, is a premium 2-in-1 Windows tablet utilizing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor for superior portability, a luxurious design, and a fanless, silent operation. Pros include an exceptional battery life (reportedly up to 20 hours), a 12.3-inch WUXGA+ display, and a bundled backlit keyboard and stylus. However, significant cons arise from the "Always Connected" architecture, which initially limits users to Windows 10 S (upgradeable to Pro) and offers limited performance compared to traditional laptops. Physical connectivity is restricted to a single USB-C port, requiring a separate hub for peripherals. Ultimately, TechRadar deems the Miix 630 an "intriguing" device that, despite thick bezels, offers a fantastic typing experience and excellent on-the-go connectivity, provided users accept the limitations of a mobile-first processor.
