Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Updates: Is Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 Better?

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is praised for the enhanced Surface Pen, new screen, and the newly improved Type Cover which proves the laptop/tablet hybrid is the ultimate choice for consumers.

But one major criticism that a lot of reviewers have pointed out is the battery life which is considered by some to be too short when compared with other tablets and laptops. This could be a flaw in Microsoft's design that Lenovo is gearing up to take advantage of when they release the new Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is such a strong player in the tablet/laptop market which in turn triggered a slew of imitators. Techies have mentioned that even though Lenovo hasn't released an official unveiling that includes the unit price and launch date, it won't be long before the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be facing a very strong contender, possibly the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720.

Microsoft has spent millions of dollars in development and advertising for the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 in order to convince people that laptops can be replaced by one powerful tablet. That promise was delivered with the help of a great display and size ratio, awesome processing power, and important add-on accessories that Microsoft has thrown into the package.

With a price of $899, consumers will get a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet that is equipped with an Intel Core M3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128 GB storage. It also has a touch screen stylus that comes with a magnetic function that allows it to attach to the side of the screen.

On the other side of the ring is the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 that has its own set of potent specifications. It's a 2-in-1 device which has a screen that can transform into a portable tablet. The keyboard and display can also be attached in order to generate a laptop setup.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 is said to have a USB Type-C support and other USB Type-A ports. The unit will also have an Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake Y-series CPU, 1TB of internal memory, 16GB of RAM, and a screen size of 2880 x 1920.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 will have the trademark Lenovo watchband hinge and the unit will be available in gold or black. With these impressive array of specs, only time will tell whether the Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 720 can actually put a dent on Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet success record.
