We cannot miss the opportunity to offer you a comparative between the new Windows tablet de Lenovo and the immediately superior model, to make clear the differences between one and the other, help you decide which of the two is the best for you, taking into account that with both there are several configurations available, which can make the choice more difficult: Miix 520 vs Miix 720.
Dimensions
The Miix 320, much cheaper, if it is quite different from the others in the range in the design section, but the truth is that among the Miix 520 and Miix 720, there are not too many differences, neither from the aesthetic point of view nor from the practical point of view: both have a metal casing, with a Surface-style rear support to gain stability and more inclination angles and with both we will have both a port Conventional USB as well as Type-C USB.
Dimensions
Where there are differences, as is always the case with high-end tablets, is in the dimension section, because manufacturers strive to refine the size / screen ratio and make their devices as stylish as possible: indeed, the Miix 720 is more compact30 x 20,5 cm against 29,2 x 21 cm), lighter (880 grams against 780 grams) and finer (9,9 mm against 8,9 mm), although it helps that its screen is slightly smaller.
Screen
As we just discussed, the Miix 520 has a slightly larger screen than the Miix 720, although it is an almost imperceptible difference to the naked eye (12.2 inches against 12 inches), contrary to what happens with the resolution, much more notable and in favor of the more expensive model (1920 x 1200 against 2880 x 1920).
Unlimited
In the performance section, we find that the advantage would be for the tablet that is theoretically lower, and this regardless of whether we bet on the basic version or a higher configuration: the RAM memory goes from the 4 16 GB in both models, but the processors go from a 3th Generation Intel Core iXNUMX to a 7th Gen Intel Core iXNUMX for Miix 520 and a 3th Gen Intel Core mXNUMX to a 7th Generation Intel Core iXNUMX for Miix 720.
Storage capacity
With regard to storage, on the other hand, we find an absolute tie, because in both cases we have a minimum of 128 GB internal memory and a maximum of 1 TB, always expandable through card micro-SD. It is more a question, therefore, of choosing one or the other configuration than of which of the two models we bet on.
Cameras
Another point where, surprisingly, we find that the advantage is going to be for the lower model is that of cameras, although it is true that this will probably not be our main concern when choosing a 2 in 1 Windows: with the Miix 520 we 5 SM both front and back, while with the Miix 720 we 5 SM in the main and only 1 SM on the front.
Autonomy
One of the points in which the best 2 in 1 Windows usually stand out is that they offer us an autonomy closer to that of conventional tablets, and in this sense we are inclined to trust that victory would be for the Miix 720, but it is true that they have a much higher resolution against them. In any case, the tests will be independent of the Miix 520 those who finally pass sentence.
Miix 520 vs Miix 720: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, we find that despite being theoretically an inferior model, in practice the only thing in which the Miix 520 clearly lags behind the Miix 720 it is in screen resolution. If we leave that question aside, which will go into the importance that the multimedia section has for each one, it is a much more important decision to choose configuration, in terms of processor, memory and storage.
The problem in this case is that it is difficult to estimate the quality / price ratio of each configuration of each model, in the case of the Miix 520 because it has just been presented and there is still no official information (it should be taken into account, by the way, that it may take time to reach the stores), and in the Miix 720 because its distribution in our country is somewhat erratic, and only certain versions are found at certain times in some distributors. The most affordable on Amazon right now is, for 1300 Euros, the one that comes with Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage (but it is imported and it is a detail to take into account for the keyboard). The other model, we expect for its part that it sells for a minimum of around 800 euros.
