Third-party reviews

What customers like about Lenovo Miix 630 Cellular (4GB + 128GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting 15 to 20 hours on a single charge
  • Standard built-in 4G LTE connectivity for always-on internet access
  • Premium, lightweight aluminum build quality that rivals the Microsoft Surface Pro
  • Comes bundled with a backlit keyboard cover and active stylus included in the price
  • Fanless, silent design that remains cool and wakes up nearly instantly
  • Vibrant 12.3-inch WUXGA+ display with good color accuracy and contrast

What customers don't like about Lenovo Miix 630 Cellular (4GB + 128GB)

  • Compromised performance; the Snapdragon 835 processor struggles with multitasking and non-mobile apps
  • Significant software limitations; Windows on ARM cannot run native 64-bit apps and has restricted 32-bit emulation
  • Flaky keyboard experience with reported intermittent issues of missing keypresses
  • Very limited port selection, featuring only a single USB-C port for both data and charging
  • Screen brightness can be inconsistent, with some users reporting distracting auto-brightness flickering
  • Outdated look due to notably large bezels around the display

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.
