Lenovo Miix 2 8 inch Tablet

[kewl]

Same. I got an iPad Mini (non retina) 64GB from Nubox after seeing their promotion.
Signed up the Anz credit card (my wife and I) and got two $10 vouchers. Redeemed my Star points to get $30 capitaland vouchers.
Factoring all these vouchers, I paid $698 for the 64GB. Though it was $100 more than Lenovo, it at least gave me no issue

Really depends on what you need. If you can use an iPad, then I doubt you really need a win8 tablet.

For myself, I need a win8 tablet to be able to make small tweaks to my visual studio projects, when I go for demos. I don't think an iPad can do this. True, that the iPad has a lot more apps in the store, but then u can virtually install any x86 apps on the win8 tablet.

Internal antenna cables wired opposite. As I expected.

For those who want to create a backup of the eMMC storage, can use Macrium Reflect free.

May I know what are the charges for the work done?

So they took the unit apart and wired or solder?

Does this void the warranty ?

No charges.
Just swap the 2 connectors, same like in notebook.

Its done by authorized service centre, so its still under warranty.

I wonder is this batch will have 3G problem if I am going to buy Miix 2 8 tablets. Since I know only users reports.

Savior75, would you mind test out your miix 2 8 on whether can it be connected to a portable hard drive and also can it be charge by a portable battery pack with 2A output ??

Yes, it can power up a portable hard drive. It can also be charged by a 2A powerbank.

It can also charge smartphones when its connected.
So lets say when you connect an iPhone to sync iTunes, it charges the iPhone as well.

Any place still selling this tablet?

Exclusive to Challenger, but they have not updated any news when they will resume sales of Mix 2 8. Work rate is slow.

Thankyou, hope challenger will be selling it soon.
