Lenovo has finally unveiled its Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-based Windows 10 PC which comes in the form of Miix 630. The company is the third OEM to produce such system after ASUS and HP.
Since it is part of the Miix series, it is not surprising to see that Lenovo has retained the same detachable 2-in-1 form factor for the new device. While its physical design might look identical to Microsoft Surface Pro, the Miix 630 is not equipped with its own kickstand.
Instead, the stand is actually part of its keyboard base. Another big difference between Miix 630 and Surface Pro is that users don’t have to purchase the keyboard and stylus for the device separately since they will come together inside the box alongside the tablet unit.

Aside from being powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the LTE-enabled Miix 630 also features a 12.3-inch WUXGA+ touch display alongside up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage. It is also equipped with Windows Hello-capable camera that allows users to utilize biometric facial recognition as a secure login method for the device.
According to Lenovo, the new device apparently has a battery life of up to 20 hours. While it might be pre-installed with Windows 10 S, users are able to upgrade to the full-fledged Windows 10 Pro for free as long as it is done within 180 days after they activated Windows on their machine.
Scheduled for release in Q2 2018, the new Miix 630 will be made available for USD 799.99 (about RM 3209) onwards. Unfortunately, its availability in Malaysia is not yet known at the moment.
