We are going to make a short break in this review that we have been doing to the best chinese tablets, to put face to face in a comparative to one of the most interesting 2 in 1 in recent times with what is probably the best Windows mid-range of the moment, to see what we gain if we resort to importing and whether or not it may be worth it: Miix 320 vs Teclast X3 Plus.
Designer
In the design section the Miix 320 holds up pretty well the guy in front of the X3 Plus, since despite its price it also comes with a metal casing. In fact, if we take into account that the keyboard in this case is included, we should give it the advantage, although it must be said in favor of the tablet Teclast that has a rear surface-style mount, which is probably the best solution to use this type of tablet on a table. With regard to aesthetics, the truth is that there are no great differences either, being quite classic in both.
Dimensions
The comparison of their respective dimensions is not entirely fair in this case, because the screen of the Miix 320 is smaller, so of course the device as a whole is also more compact (24,89 x 17,78 cm against 29,5 x 18,3 cm) and light (550 grams against 871 grams), but it is true, in any case, that this is not a section in which the X3 Plus shine especially, and in fact we see that it continues to lose in thickness (9 mm against 10mm).
Screen
As we just said the screen of the X3 Plus it is bigger (10.1 inches against 11.6 inches), but it also has a higher resolution (1280 x 800 against 1920 x 1200), at least if we take as a reference the basic model of the Miix 320, which is the closest in price (but it is worth noting that there is a version with Full HD resolution as well). The tablet of Lenovo It also uses a different aspect ratio (16:10 instead of the more common 3: 2 in 2 in 1), although this is normal even on Windows tablets of its size.
Unlimited
In the performance section, the scale is tilted again on the side of the tablet Teclasta Intel N3450 y 6 GB of RAM memory, compared to Intel Atom X5 and 4 GB RAM memory Lenovo. None of the higher versions of the Miix 320In addition, it will give us the option of gaining more RAM, so in this sense we would always lose.
Storage capacity
More balanced is the battle in the section of storage capacity, even with the basic model of the Miix 320, because with both we will have 64 GB of internal memory, in addition to having the option of saving space externally through card micro-SD. It's a pretty good figure for a mid-range tablet, even if you have to count on Windows 10 getting a good chunk.
Cameras
The tie is also absolute in the cameras section, where both offer us what can be considered the minimum for a mid-range tablet: 2 SM on the front and 5 SM in the back. Enough in any case for the needs of the average user (many would probably not even miss the rear camera too much).
Autonomy
We do not know what is the battery capacity data of the Miix 320, but if we take into account the difference in size and resolution of their respective screens, it must be recognized that it would not help us too much to make an estimate of which of the two will leave us better autonomy. If we are particularly interested in this question, we will have to wait for comparable real-use test data.
Miix 320 vs Teclast X3 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, the Teclast X3 Plus has a few major technical spec wins over the Miix 320, especially with regard to screen and performance, and it must be said that even if we care too much about resolution, if we are thinking of them as tablets to work with, above all, we will surely appreciate the extra space that having an inch supposes and a half more on the diagonal.
The point is that one could almost say that the price favors the Miix 320 that, in addition to saving us the import (it is important when choosing how comfortable we feel with this process), it is sold for 300 Euros but that we have already seen sales on occasion (and that almost recently launched) and it comes with the keyboard, while the Teclast X3 Plus can be found without problem for about 250 Euros (You already know that there is always a lot of variation depending on the importer that we choose and the conditions that we accept), but that it arrives without the keyboard.
