Lenovo's Miix 510 might be a Surface clone, but at least it's a good one

2017-01-26
Lenovo mix 510 is about as close as you're going to get to Microsoft Surface pro for tablet PC right down to its hinged kickstand frankly there's not a lot you can do different with a tablet PC design and if you're going to copy one the surface is certainly the best pricing starts at around 600 dollars but 750 gets you this core i5 version with 256 gigs of storage which is good since there's no SD or microsd card slot for more room what you do get that the surface doesn't have is a USB C port for data and video output also unlike the surface Lenovo includes its keyboard cover that gives a generally excellent typing experience with the exception of its tiny right-hand shift key Lenovo doesn't include its active pen for drawing on the screen but add $40 it's an affordable add-on with twice the pressure sensitivity of Microsoft's pen too bad its holder blocks all your ports and power jack performance was solid for office or school work and being able to simply pull off the cover and start drawing or watching videos is great it got about five-and-a-half hours on our battery test and that's a little better than average for the category so no full workday here but still pretty good so yes lenovo made a bit of a clone here of the surface pro 4 but at least it's a good one and it comes in at a lower price
