Although the Miix 520 would be the closest to the Windows tablet with ARM processor Lenovo, we already have in its catalog an option that can be very interesting if we are looking for a mobile connection and a more affordable price than that of the high-end stars, and with this comparative We hope to help you decide if the best for you: Miix 630 vs Miix 320.
Integrated
One of the disadvantages of Miix 320 Compared to other models of the same range, it is in the design section, and it does not have to do with the materials, but with the fact that it does not come with a Surface-style rear support, but we are not going to have it with the Miix 630 and, in fact, the solution adopted by the first one will probably give us more stability and viewing angles. Where we are going to win more clearly with it, in any case, is in the ports section, since we have 2 conventional USB and one type C, while in the other we have only one type C.
Dimensions
Regarding the size, there is quite a difference between the two and it is true that it is not a completely fair comparison because the screen of the Miix 630 is much larger, as we will see below, which makes it the Miix 320 the one with the advantage in size29,21x23,4 inch against 24,89x17,78 inch) and in weight and weight (770 grams against 550 grams). In thickness, however, the new model clearly wins (7,3 mm against 9.mm).
Screen
As we have anticipated, the screen of the Miix 320 is smaller12.3 inches against 10.1 inches) and if we look at the standard model, it also has a lower resolution (1280 x 800), but we must bear in mind that there is another that does arrive with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1200), same as Miix 630.
Performance
In the performance section we find a curious situation, because in principle the Miix 630 would be superior, but when mounting a processor Snapdragon 835, we will be limited to Windows 10 S, while the processor Intel Atom X5 for the Miix 320 It will not allow us to demand too much, but it will allow us to run the full version of Windows 10. If we are interested in configurations with more RAM memory, the new model would also have an advantage (and yours is DDR4 already), but the standard will be 4 GB in both cases.
Storage capacity
The same thing happens with the storage capacity as the RAM memory: the Miix 630 wins if we are willing to pay to get the superior configuration, which in this case would reach the 256 GB, but the minimum is 64 GB for both and both can also be found with 128 GB.
Cameras
Probably the cameras will not be the section that interests you the most if you are looking for a Windows tablet, but if that is the case, it is true that here the Miix 630, which arrives with a main of 13 MP and another front of 5 MP, while those of the Miix 320 are much more discreet, with only 5MP for the rear and 2 MP, the minimum almost, for the lead.
Autonomy
We will have to wait to see the results of the tests of real use to have comparable and reliable data, but in theory autonomy is one of the great advantages of Windows tablets with ARM processors and Miix 630 it was advertised with up to 20+ hours of use. Being a smaller tablet and not as powerful as others, however, it must be said that Lenovo's own estimates for the Miix 320 they are better than other models, promising up to 10 hours of local video playback.
Miix 630 vs Miix 320: final balance of the comparison and price
We have been able to verify that if we are interested in the higher configurations, the Miix 320 It will not be up to the task, but it can achieve it if we compare it with the standard version, at least as it has been presented (we will have to see later what are the available configurations when it is launched in our country). The two are going to be somewhat limited in the performance section, in addition, although for different reasons. The Miix 630Yes, it clearly wins in autonomy (important) and in cameras (not so much).
What Miix 320 has more clearly in its favor is the price, as long as working with a 10-inch screen is not a problem for us: if we really need a mobile connection, we can get the 4G model, with a Full HD screen and 128 GB of storage, for $450, and incidentally we gain a couple of conventional USB ports, while the Miix 630 was announced from U.S. dollar 800.
