Hands on with Lenovo's Surface clone

2015-09-02
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
