Lenovo Miix
The Lenovo Miix, a 10-inch Windows 8 tablet with its own
keyboard case, is like the consumer version of the ThinkPad Tablet 2,
with slightly different accessory hardware.The Lenovo Miix is smart,
light, reasonably well-made and comes with an excellent keyboard to help
you to use it like a laptop. The potential is here for it to be a great
mobile work machine, provided you don't need to run anything too
intensive.The 10.1-inch, 1,366x768-pixel-resolution, 16:9 IPS display
supports five-finger multitouch, and the 10.1-millimeter-thin,
1.27-pound design resembles that of other thin and lower-power Windows 8
tablets.The Lenovo Miix uses the Intel Atom Z2760 processor, which is a
1.8GHz dual-core chip, though it does feature Hyper-Threading, so can
act as four virtual cores..This is all backed up with 2GB of RAM, which
is very favourable compared to other tablets.64GB of eMMC storage, a
microSD card slot that can support an additional 32GB of memory, a
front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, a Micro-USB 2.0 connector, a
Micro-HDMI port, and Bluetooth 4.0 plus 802.11n Wi-Fi. The front-facing
camera's only 1 megapixel, suitable for Web chat but not much else.
There's an optional 3G micro-SIM port, too.Battery life is respectable,
but not outstanding. We got just over 6.5 hours (400mins) of streaming
video out of the Miix, and you could probably stretch that closer to
eight hours for lighter work, but that’s not particularly impressive
when larger Haswell laptops can now offer 10 or more hours between
charges.

VS Asus Transformer Book T100 The Asus Transformer Book T100 runs full Windows 8.1, comes with a keyboard, has great battery life, and is a steal if you can find it for $350.The Asus Transformer Book T100 is a fairly low-cost 10-inch Windows 8 tablet that can also function as a laptop thanks to its keyboard segment.So, the T100 looks like a netbook, and offers the same typing experience as a netbook. And it feels like one too: With the tablet docked so that it's in clamshell mode, the whole thing weighs 2.4 pounds (the tablet itself comes in at 1.2 pounds). It's just about as heavy as a netbook, and just as easy to carry in one hand, though it will still feel heavy compared to a Surface 2 with a Touch Cover attached.There is an upshot to the T100 only being able to handle average computing tasks - battery life. It managed to keep going for 10 hours and 45 minutes on 3D Mark's Home Battery test, which runs through a cycle of opening and closing applications and playing HD video files until no battery life remains. It means that you no longer have to plump lots of money for a Haswell-based laptop if battery life is high on the agenda to get hold of the full Windows experience.The Transformer Book T100 is a great value given the quality of the tablet and keyboard dock. It is as full-featured a hybrid as you will find, at a decent price.
But, The cramped keyboard feels like an old Netbook's used to; not as fast as zippier, larger, more expensive Windows products; display not that vibrant.
The bottom line: The Asus Transformer Book T100 revives the Netbook value proposition (and Netbook usability issues) in a budget-price 10-inch laptop that doubles as a tablet. You won’t love it, but for sheer bang for the buck, it’s hard to beat. Specifications
