translation PRACTICAL WITH BUDGET LENOVO SURFACE COMPETITOR
Price: € 269
Release date: TBA
Since Microsoft released its first Surface device many moons ago, every company working under the sun has been chasing the creation of the perfect laptop. However, today, most of the devices that removed this smartphone come with pretty decent price tags - for example, Apple iPad Pro for ВЈ 679. The Miix 320 is Lenovo's blow to the market, the goal of which is to offer customers an affordable hybrid option.
The design of the Miix 320 follows the standard hybrid model. This is a small 10-inch tablet Windows 10, which is attached to the physical docking station for the keyboard. This is not the most attractive view I've ever seen, and the design of more expensive devices, such as the recently introduced Galaxy Book, does not flourish.
However, by the available device standards, this is quite tempting and definitely a visual step from other available hybrids, such as the Asus Transformer Mini.

The white model I tested was well built; I did not notice any significant bends when I pressed on his back. Measuring only 9 mm, the tablet is also not the most overloaded one that I have seen.
I'm a big fan of the fact that the tablet is attached to the keyboard using a physical hinge, not magnets. Magnetic docking solutions for lighter keyboards may look attractive, but in fact they make using the device on your lap a bit silly.
Testing the Miix in the Lenovo Showroom I was impressed with the quality of the hinge assembly and how well it felt in the Miix. He does not feel particularly hard and sits neatly on my lap, not knocking over, even when the tablet section is at the farthest angle.
The keyboard is not revolutionary, but it feels comfortable enough to type and ride noticeably better than thinner keyboard pads, although the keys were a bit cramped.

I didn’t manage to find out if Microsoft’s trackpad is certified, but early tests were positive. The trackpad was not excessively lethargic and triggered multitouch teams without incident.
The design also marks all the correct junction boxes. In the tablet section there are USB Type-C, micro-HDMI and microSD inputs - an LTE version with a nano-thin slot will also be available. The keyboard cover adds two USB 2.0 ports. Port richness means that Miix has to meet the connectivity needs of all and far surpasses more expensive gigs such as the Huawei MateBook and Surface Pro 4.
I am also impressed that Lenovo was able to install Miix with a 10.1-inch FHD screen with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200. The resolution is not stunning, but it is well above average at an affordable end of the market. Most of the cheap convertibles that I looked through, like the Asus Transformer Mini, have touch screens with a resolution of 10.1 inches and a resolution of 1.280 x 800 IPS.

The FHD resolution ensures that the icons look sharp and, while the blacks were not the ink I saw, the colors look reasonably well calibrated. The digital stylus will also be sold as an additional option, for those who want to take notes or do creative work on Miix, but I did not have the opportunity to test it during my practical use.
My only concern for Miix comes from its slightly inadequate innards. Miix is ​​based on the Intel Atom X5 processor with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. Past devices that I tested with such specifications, at best, replaced netbooks, struggling with even moderately demanding tasks, such as digital painting.
I cannot say for sure if this will be the case with the Miix, since in my short time with the device I only got to accept basic tasks, such as opening office documents and transitions between menu screens. However, I did not notice any stuttering at work in my time with Miix.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The Miix 320 can be a great convertible for budget buyers. From what I've seen, it offers robust build quality, a medium priced screen and impressive connectivity options. Its Atom processor is a small problem, but at this price you are unlikely to get much better.
This is not a hybrid for artists and photographers, but for ordinary users it can be an excellent universal laptop for tablets to view on the Internet, Netflix-binging and basic office work.
