Lenovo Miix 4 flat panel hands-on evaluation

According to IDC, a market-research firm, published last week, the tablet market has been in a state of malaise, but by 2018 it will rebound as a result of the growth of separate tablets, which also means that the two-in-one tablet will be the mainstream of the future market, not just Microsoft's surface series, Old PC manufacturers Lenovo also has its own unique interpretation of the two products, we today to test the Miix 4 is Lenovo in this regard representative products.

Product parameter:

The product is configured with the Intel sixth generation Core M3-6Y30 processor, 4GB memory, 128GB solid-state storage, a 12-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2160x1440, and two 5 million-megapixel cameras, with a battery capacity of 40Whr.

Overall Appearance:

Miix 4 of the front and most of the two-in-one product is roughly the same, but in the upper left corner will be equipped with a Lenovo logo, the overall screen resolution of 2160x1440, looks clean and transparent, product thickness of 9mm, weight of 750g, if we do not have any concept of this we can and surface The core m version of Pro 4 is compared to the thickness of the product is 8.45mm, the weight is 766g.

The body of the plate back gold metal material, feel good and easy to heat, the back of the most conspicuous place or Lenovo in the notebook of the original design of this bracelet-type hinge, in the later product details we will also be a separate display.

Product Details:

Product Details Show or start with the camera, the front screen center is a 5 million-pixel front camera with a F2.2 large aperture, a photosensitive element on the right side of the camera, and a camera working indicator hidden between the two components, and a white light is lit when the camera is turned on ( The function is to prevent the camera from being hacked and you know nothing about it. Back camera is also 5 million pixels, the difference is that the aperture into the F2.4, the camera is also equipped with auxiliary flash, easy to use in the dark light photo.

Flat right with a power button and volume adjustment button, the key to metal material, press feedback is also more clear, the key below for a MICROHDMI interface and a standard USB 2.0 interface. There is also a USB 3.0 connector on the left side of the product, this interface is also the Miix 4 of the charging interface, in the second one product design such an interface is also very necessary, after all, after the full power we can unplug as a high-speed USB interface to use, if you have used before surface The Pro Series 1 USB-Interface products will know the need for this design.

In addition to the top of the product also equipped with a 3.5mm headphone connector, because Miix 4 is a metal integration product, we can also find a small hole in the headphone interface, which is designed to prevent the metal fuselage from affecting the reception of the WiFi signal, as well as the same design on Google Pixel C released last year. (The Surface series uses a plastic material that does not affect the signal in this area). And on the left and right sides of the bottom of Miix 4, we can also see the symmetrical design of the speaker openings and bracket opening grooves, under the Miix 4 bracket also with the surface series designed a TF card slot, the largest support for 128GB external expansion.

Finally, take a look at the bracelet hinges and brackets, the bracelet hinge is definitely called Lenovo's unique feat, and the surface series of the hinge, whether it is in the functional or the top of B is not downwind, the bracket maximum opening and closing angle of 150 degrees (you don't even have to worry about crushing the bracket, Because before the official said can completely flatten, can basically meet the user in any scenario of the use requirements.

Accessories:

Keyboards and pressure-sensing pens are all parts of the product, keyboard feel is still relatively good, the drawback is that there is no backlight, pressure pen This accessory is also more common, Miix 4 equipped with this 2048 pressure sense level, rely on 7th battery for power supply (later experience in the process I will also for you to introduce in detail), But these are not important, the main point is that the top of these two accessories are random, do not need us to buy separately.

Cinebench R15 Run points:

In accordance with the previous practice, first of all, we still use cinebench R15 to run the test, after the test of multi-threaded performance of 196CB, graphics rendering ability test for 27.63FPS, in the same kind of processor score is a higher one, relatively good.

3D Mark Software Run points:

3D Mark Test We are still running for the general pen and home computer Cloud Gate, the overall score of 3367 points, including graphics processor score of 4544 points, physical scores 1766 points, the score is also relatively normal, such results also indicate that the product has some ability to run ordinary PC games.

Read and write Speed test:

Finally, the ability to read and write test, the software for the testing of AD SSD Benchmark, after continuous reading and writing, 4K alignment, Random Read and write and response time performance, such as a series of tests down, the final plate to be divided into 605 points, the score is not too high, can only calculate the normal play

Game experience:

Game experience in the link I do not test "wild drag racing" that kind of basic game, directly on the most interested in the "League of Heroes", in the low quality of the normal line no problem, the regiment began to fight the card, but in the low quality is still relatively smooth.

Stylus Experience:

Lenovo's stylus itself does not require Bluetooth and tablet connectivity, installed after the battery can be used, the overall positioning is also more accurate, the pen has two plastic buttons, after our several tests, found that the two key functions and the same mouse: The following is the left mouse button, the above is the right mouse button. Miix 4 with the Writeit software can achieve special handwriting input: whether in any one need text input interface, as long as the use of handwritten pen click Text Input Place, you can write freely, the overall recognition ability is also relatively strong, even if the recognition failed, Clicking on the identified font also gives other similar options. And not only text, even if we draw a picture, click on the image button above the identification box can also save the pictures we draw. So in terms of the stylus, this gives us a better sense of office than drawing, compared to the Microsoft Surface series and Apple Pencil,miix 4.

Endurance test:

The way we test in the endurance test is still to play the local 1080P film, LUCY, when the battery is 89%, the screen brightness is 60%, the volume is 20%. After 1 hours of continuous video playback, the electricity down to 74%, off the electricity 15%, which also indicates that the overall duration of the product in about 8 hours.

Summary & who is more worth buying?

In addition to Miix 4 's handwriting bias Office, Surface series Stylus bias drawing, we also put two different forms of products in the form of the above, from a personal point of view, we feel that Miix 4 more worthy of purchase, the only drawback is that there is no similar high distribution version, Otherwise it will be in the domestic market let surface series of products complain repeatedly, and this kind of pro-people's price is consumers most want to see.
