Lenovo introduced to us at the MWC 2017 the new Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 320. Its new 2-in-1 device can get the best from being a fully functional laptop or being a tablet.It has a detachable keyboard, productivity-enhancing tools and the most important, a 10-hour battery life. And if you want to relax the 10.1” FHD display and stereo speakers will help you release all the anxiety over you. And with super-fast WiFi (plus optional LTE), the Miix 320 is ideal for both work and play.
On the other hand we have the Chuwi Hi10 Pro, a dual boot Windows 10-Android 5.0 tablet, that can also take extra docking keyboard and a stylus pen to use and comes with a 10.1″ display. All these at a very low price comparing it to a real windows notebook. But let us see, between these two, what one can choose!?
Design
The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 320 comes as we said with a 10.1″ display and 1920 x 1200 resolution. Supports touchscreen, so you can easily work with it without the need of a mouse. The Miix 320 comes with 1 x USB Type-C 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x Micro HDMI, 1 x Micro SD and a Audio combo jack.

The Miix without the docking station weights only 550 g, when with the docking station the weight increases to 1020 g. As for the thickness, when we have only the Miix 320, the thickness is 9 mm, but when we add 8.5mm thickness of the docking keyboard, it all becomes 17.5mm.

Conclusion
Chuwi Hi10 Pro and Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 320 are two almost similar 2 to 1 tablets. They have almost the same specs, with the Lenovo to be a little in front because of the battery and the internal storage. It also supports SIM, which Chuwi doesn’t. Still the price is different, since the Lenovo is more expensive, so and this factor is important. If you want to get the Chuwi Hi10 Pro, I have found it at Gearbest in Flash Sales and for 204.99$. Lenovo you will have to wait a little bit to come to the stores, as only now was presented to us in the MWC. By the way, you can get official technical support here.
