Grace’s new laptop
Grace got a new laptop today, actually a tablet hybrid, the Lenovo Miix 2 10″ which s running on Windows 8. Bought at Challenger, the unit was $559.00 with a free Belkin bag, free McAfee Anti-virus for 3 years and free Microsoft Office Home/Student edition.
This unit will replace the aging and slow Acer AspireOne bought in 2009.
Here the unit is set up in laptop mode.
Why this model? Full HD (1920×1200) touch screen, JBL speakers, 2 full size USB ports and 1 micro USB port, 64GB eMMC storage, and we added a 64GB SD card. The build is nice and solid (unlike the newer Miix 3, which is rubbery and has no full sized USB ports).
Here you see the unit as a tablet, closed and a display.
