Decent 8inch design that's slim, portable and usable. Good battery life.
Major touchscreen issues make this tablet incredibly frustrating to use. Display features a low resolution.
I'll give credit where credit is due: Lenovo has attempted to make a decent, low-cost 8-inch tablet that runs a full copy of Windows 8.1. The use of aluminum as part of the Miix 2 8's slim design is great to see, and its overall size is quite comfortable...

Lenovo provides a lot of value with the Miix 2 8 for $299. The Bay Trail processor provides decent performance, while the 8-inch display makes the highly portable form a reality. That processor means the Miix 2 8 runs full Windows 8.1, and the inclusio...

Small SSD. Only 9 GB of storage free after initial setup. No docking keyboard option. USB Host requires dongle. No HDMI or DisplayPort
The Lenovo Miix 2 8 is an affordable Windows 8 tablet with good battery life and features. Just make sure you always have access to the Internet, as local storage is a little light on this tablet....
Peppy Bay Trail Atom processor, Thin, light, and attractive, Decent battery life, display, Solid build quality for the price
Stylus costs extra, 64-bit support still lacking
This attractive, well-made, and affordable Windows 8.1 tablet performs well and has a good-looking screen. It's a fine budget pick until 64-bit-capable Atom tablets emerge. ...
Abstract: So what's inside? A quad core 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z3740 Bay Trail CPU with Turbo Boost to 1.86GHz. It has 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM (not upgradable) and either 32 or 64 gigs of eMMC flash storage. Like the Venue 8 Pro it has a 3.5mm combo audio jack, micro USB 2....
