Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 320 vs Microsoft Surface Go

Best

A stylus is a pen-like accessory that allows you to interact with the touchscreen with greater precision, and is particularly useful for drawing and writing.

Best

Best

Device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures due to any kind of weather.

For example

You can detach the keyboard of your device and use the screen as a tablet. Detaching the keyboard makes the device lighter and gives you the possibility to switch easily between laptop-mode and tablet-mode. The keyboard is included when buying the device.

The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.

Best

Damage resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.

The device has an LCD display with 3 subpixels per pixel, resulting in sharp and crisp images. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. This can result in a less crisp, slightly blurred image.

IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of normal TFTs TN-matrices: relatively slow response times, small viewing angles and low quality color reproduction. PLS (Plane to Line Switching) is a type of IPS screen developed by Samsung, which has increased brightness and lower production costs.

Best

The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) so that you can either extend the internal storage with affordable memory modules or you can retrieve data, such as photographs, easily from a memory card.

A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit applications.

Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.

CMOS image sensors are slowly replacing CCD sensors, due to reduced power consumption and better image quality. They can be very compact and cost relatively little to produce.

A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.

For example

It can automatically shoot pictures with a higher dynamic range (HDR).

For example

It allows you to take multiple photos capturing different parts of the scene, and then joins them together into a single photo.

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Best

A built-in FM radio tuner allows you to listen to most of the live-broadcasted FM radio stations without using the internet.

For example

The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.

Best

The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.

For example

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

The battery can be recharged and used over again.

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

For example

802.11ac wireless works on the 5GHz frequency range. It offers higher transfer rates, improved reliability and improved power consumption. It provides advantages for gaming and HD video streaming.

You can add widgets to the home screen. This allows you to have more flexibility and to see information at a glance, without going into the app.

802.11n is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors - a, b and g.

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

Best

Sleep-and-charge USB ports can charge electronic devices when the laptop is in sleep mode, hibernate mode, or even switched off.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

The MagSafe power adapter uses a power connector that is attached magnetically. When pulled or tugged, the connector will come out of the socket safely.

For example

With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices.

Best

VGA connector is a widespread connector and is found on many video cards, computer monitors, and some television sets.

For example

S/PDIF is an interface used to transmit digital audio with high fidelity.
