Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Hands on with Lenovo’s Surface clone”.
Hey this is dieter with The Verge, and this is the IdeaPad mix 700, although, if you’re looking at it from a distance, you might think it was a surface. So the deal with the IdeaPad mix 700 is that it comes with this removable keyboard, which is exactly like a surface keyboard down to it, locking on magnetically and even folding up for a little bit of stability compared to a surface keyboard. It’S a lot more tactile. It it’s got a little bit more bounce to it. So that’s nice, although the downside is it’s a really thick keyboard.
The other difference between this and the surface 3 is Lenovo’s. Really proud of this watch hinge. It means that the kickstand on the back can go to and hold pretty well pretty much any angle you want it to which is pretty it’s not like as stable as the surface 3 that locks in in some cases when you press on it. But it’s really solid and it’s pretty good.
It also works with the stylus and they even can get this little thing that clicks into a USB port. So you don’t lose it, which is fine. I guess, and it does have two USB ports, one on each side, which is helpful if you have a PC which of course this is it’s a Windows, 10 machine. It should be launching, in November of this year for prices starting at around $ 6.99, although of course, this model aspect is way more expensive.
It’S got a core i7 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gig SSD, so kind of top of the line. So, overall it looks like a surface. The build quality isn’t quite up to par of what I’ve seen on the surface pro 3, but it’s pretty close, and it has a few nice things if you really like this form factor that maybe you want more .
