Available for order now and estimated to ship by August 28, the Miix is a 10.1-inch Windows 8 tablet with a "quick flip" AccuType keyboard that converts it into a notebook. The keyboard is also detachable, so the device can stay slim when in tablet mode. The Miix starts at just $599.99. For that price, the specs are on the low end but still enough to power Windows 8. The Mixx is equipped with a 1.8Ghz Intel Atom processor, Intel HD graphics, 2GB of memory, and 64GB of flash storage. The 10.1 inch touch screen offers a resolution of 1,366x768. A 1-megapixel camera provides the snapshots and a 2-cell battery provides up to 10 hours of life on a single charge. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 are also part of the package as are a Micro-USB port, a MicroSD card reader, and a Micro-HDMI connector. Lenovo recently launched a couple of other new Windows 8 convertibles, namely the Yoga 11S and the ThinkPad Helix. Both of those are much beefier than the Mixx but also quite a bit pricier.  via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHk4MtoQiwNv35WnvbD8h21F3ajOA&url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57597391-94/lenovo-kicks-off-$600-windows-8-miix-convertible-tablet/ | |||
