For example, running Adobe CS6 or older apps on the SP4 will give you tiny icons, icons so small that even with a small tip stylus it can still be challenging to click. The biggest advantage is for apps not optimised for high resolution screens, the user interface, buttons and menus will be rendered at very comfortable sizes. On a 12.2 inch screen, it's still not too pixelated. The 12.2-inch screen features a 1920 by 1200 resolution which is lower compared to SP4's 2736 x 1824 resolution and ASA12's 2160 by 1440. It does feel heavy compared to SP4 but it's still relatively light, but much heavier with the keyboard cover added. Miix 510 is heavier than SP4's 786g but lighter than ASA12's 910g. It would have been so nice to have 2 USB Type C ports though, one capable of charging. If USB Type C charging is possible, Lenovo probably won't have included the round charging port in the first place. There' no mention whether the USB Type C can be used for charging, so it's advisable to use the big and heavy charging adapter provided. I tried charging the Miix 510 with my phone's USB Type C cable and it wasn't able to. If you want to connect to an external monitor, you'll need an adapter. The ports included are a USB 3 Type C and A. The keyboard has backlight but it is not switched on by default (just press FN + Spacebar to switch on). I like the large arrow keys which I use often, but the small Shift key on the right could be bigger. The keyboard is fine to type with but definitely not the best.

I prefer using a Bluetooth keyboard instead, placed by the side. I usually detach the keyboard as I don't like that feeling. When drawing with the keyboard attached, the drawing hand would brush against the keys. The keyboard cover attaches to the tablet using strong magnets, and you can use the magnets to tilt the keyboard at an incline. You'll probably want to get a case for the back because any scratches will make your heart ache like getting a scratch on a new car. It protects the Gorilla Glass screen but the brushed aluminum back is exposed. The keyboard cover uses faux leather which is easier to clean.
Overall design looks fine and very functional. The unit is cooled by fans and there are vents at both sides and top. That's the recessed area to open the kickstand. But if you rest your hands on the screen to draw, the screen will be pushed down to the lowest angle. The build-in kickstand uses the Lenovo's hinge system, and it's able to position itself to any angle. It weighs 880g and goes up to 1.25kg with the included keyboard. Design and build qualityīuild quality is excellent and the unit feels solid. The Miix 510 comes with a keyboard cover, stylus and charger. Dimension: 30 x 20.5 x 0.99 cm (or 1.59 cm thick with keyboard).Ports: USB Type C, USB 3 Type A, audio Jack.Graphics: Intel HD Integrated Graphics 520.Let's take a look at the specifications first: My priority is to find out how well performs when it's being used as a digital sketchpad. I'm not interested in running benchmarks because all those things aren't that important when it comes to drawing.
The Lenovo Miix 510 is a 2-in-1 computer, just like the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Acer Switch Alpha, all of which have active styluses.Īs usual, my review will be from the perspective of an artist. I've got my friend Mindflyer and Lenovo Singapore to thank for arranging a review unit of the Lenovo Miix 510 for me to check out.
