I updated the video to correct some errors. E.g. The keyboard has backlight, but not on by default. Sorry for the lost comments from the earlier video.
I bought a MIIX 510 from Hong Kong, and VERY unfortunately, my keyboard does NOT have any backlight. I would NOT have bought it if I had known earlier. I wonder why!
@Sabrina B. I recommend Miix because it runs Windows and hence has more functionality. If you don't mind Android and do not depend on Windows app, then you can go for the Yoga Book Android version. Yoga Book Windows will lag with heavy applications. Screen size is smaller but not a big deal in my opinion. Currently the best screen tablets for drawing are the Apple iPad Pro and Pencil, and the Wacom MobileStudio Pro, both of which are very expensive. They are best because their accuracy is best. The next best is the Yoga Book but the accuracy is not on the screen but at the keyboard area. The drawing experience is certainly not going to be the same as drawing on screen. But artists from many years ago before such screen tablets are around have been drawing on screenless tablets without complaints. It's just a different way of doing the same thing. Ultimately, I think the most important thing is, it is no less productive using a Yoga Book for drawing.
0:54 "The other model is more expensive and this is slightly cheaper." In one direction it is more and in the reverse direction the same becomes only slightly?
I don"t know if this works the same way with the miix, but I have an older wacom, where the jittery lines get a lot more bearable if you hold the pen perpendicular to the tablets surface. I wonder if it affects this one as well.
I have seen all your reviews on low cost tablets for drawing, however I still can make a decision. Could you please help me? I want to illustrate in an all in one but cheaper than iPad pro. Which one would you recommend me? Thx
Hey thank you very much for your reviews! I'm considering buying a yoga book since I can't afford a surface pro. I would use it for drawing but also graphic tasks for my job (no game, no long text typing, just email etc). I read the comments and you say the youga book is more sensitive for drawings (depending on the app). But then you recommend the miix for general experience. Can you please tell me the difference between those two and the reason why you advice one or the other? Also do you have an opinion on the screen size difference? (please? :) Also last question (i think you didn't talk about it on previous videos). Is the wacom tablet on yoga book really an improvement comparing to drawing directly on the screen like on any other tablet? I don't think I saw you drawing on the screen on your yoga book review and it's really an issue according to me since it's really not the same drawing experience.
Hello dear .... you mentioned that it only charge through the charging pin ..... did you test the charging through the USB C? many devices has multi charging option.....thank you
at 6.30 you push the tablet down while drawing, but does it also glide backwards while using it? considering there is no rubber in the stand like the acer tab has..
It's still worth the money. Maybe even more so if the price has dropped. Some models have the microSD card slot so look out for those. In terms of price and value, it's better than the Surface Pro 4. If you have the budget, this is a good one to get.
Hi Teoh Yi Chie, Have you been using the Miix ever since you got it until nowaday? I am thinking about buying it(Miix 520). I want to know about the Miix's durability. Then I see many people complain about the quality, its either dead pixels, fail startup, battery not charging, skipping touchscreen or malfunction trackpad. Looking forward to your reply, I really appreciate it.
I'm actually testing out the Miix 520 currently. Works fine. Only downsides are the battery life which is around 5-6 hours, and the fans turn on too easily and can be heard. The upside is there's quad-core processor so if you do processor intensive tasks, this is a more powerful computer now. Another thing I like is the keyboard and pen are included with the price.
Thank you so much for the reply. I guess the durability and quality will not be a problem since not only you use the 510 but you also buy another 520. The consumer reports stated that the surface pro tablets will likely to break within the 2nd year, its more expensive and slower than the Miix. I will have to think this through.
The Yoga Book is more accurate. Palm rejection and pressure sensitivity works flawlessly with all the Android apps. Miix 510's performance depends on the app design, e.g. not all apps will have perfect pressure sensitivity or smoothness of the lines.
How about the screen resolution? On the specification acer switch alpha uses high resolution display than lenovo miix 510, is that significantly noticeable? Thanks again for the answer.. 😊
I prefer the resolution on Miix 510 because I'm still using the old Photoshop CS 6. The user interface menus and buttons sizes are comfortable enough to see and press.
That was a good review. I recently brought the Lenovo Miix 320 as my secondary device, gonna use it mainly for school work with MS Office. You from Singapore? You sound Singaporean.
+Christopher Roan Drawing capabilities is very similar but the Miix 510 is cheaper significantly. It will be very difficult to differentiate strokes from either tablets when compared side by side. So I'll probably go with Lenovo if I have to choose between the two.
I bought this tablet by this video, however the video is not very accurate when talking about "no parallax". There is definitely some parallax especially around the corners which can be very annoying when taking notes.
Now I would like to get a new 2-in-1 laptop for general work (document spreadsheet and drawing). I've just realized that there is Miix 520 coming soon, so is it worth waiting for it?
I find Miix to perform slightly better. The build quality is also better. Check out this text review for some drawing samples www.parkablogs.com/picture/artist-review-lenovo-miix-510-with-active-pen
I wonder if some software using QT technology like Drawpile working fine with Miix 510 or not. I sold my Surface Pro 4 cuz my Surface pen always draw zigzag lines on Drawpile, Sai cannot read the pen pressure neither.
You're going to get zigzag lines with the Miix 510 also. If you need Windows tablet, the best right now is the Surface Pro 2017 -- it has solved the zig-zag line problem.
Hi teoh. Can you suggest me any pdf editor app in which I can add notes and highlight the stuff and can undo or redo as well. I am using lenovo miix 510. and I have tried xodo but I didn't like it because there is no undo option for underlined text. Help me please.
Hello, Mr. Teoh,..I bought lenovo miix 510 about 2 month a go. Everything working fine but i had some problem, Could you please tell me how to connect miix 510 to VGA lcd projector? I have try to connect via usb type C using type c to vga converter, but it does'n work at all. There is a message saying that the usb power doesn't enough to power up the device/adapter. Any solution? Thanks in advance
Ask Lenovo and see what they say. Some adapters might not work even if they can connect properly. I had that problem once. I tried two adaptors that look exactly the same except the brand, and one worked while the other did not.
but i suppose it can be reset and remove all bloatware via windows reset? im planning to purchase either one of it and had done reading. Im towards the Acer for below reasons, screen resolution (higher res but im not sure will it actually make any difference in real world), microSD car,d liquid cooling (not thermal throttling) and slightly better battery life? How you think?
+Yt Resolution Miix is more comfortable to use on a 12 inch screen as user interface are bigger. Acer screen should be sharper because it has higher resolution but user interface slightly smaller. Bloatware cannot be removed by resetting Windows, it would just reinstall by itself. The microsd card slot is great if you want more storage on board, or you can get an external hard drive like Western digital Passport 4TB for usd $120. I have no preference for liquid cooling as the fan on the Lenovo is not noisy. Battery life for both are roughly the same. Depends on how bright the screen is and the apps you are using. Overall, I just prefer the build quality of the Lenovo.
Does anyone know of a dongle / docking station that will work with the Miix 510? I would like to plug in an ethernet cable a monitor via HDMI or VGA and a mouse and keyboard.
nvm. i looked on the side of the box and it's only compatible with yoga 900s and miix 700. does anyone know if there are any active pens that are compatible with miix 310?
Teoh Yi Chie thanks for replying! Yeah I got a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I guess that'll do. A shame I can't find anything for boosting battery life though.
Thanks I presue that the lenovo Mixx is a better performer ,I saw your acer alpha review ..please let me know which one -Surface pro /Acer alpha and leneovo Mixx to go for as I am looking for cintiq replacement
Yes, it's good. This is the previous model. The current model is Miix 520 and has better battery life. www.parkablogs.com/content/artist-review-lenovo-miix-520-active-pen-2
Teoh Yi Chie But it comes with a pen holder. I was not able to figure where I could attach it. If they have given a pen holder, shouldn’t there be a way to attach it?
I don't have this one but I have the Lenovo Yoga 14 and active pen, and the pen holder was just a plastic bit that fits into the USB slot. It's not actually a USB device, it just uses that to attach to the computer. Not sure if it's the same as the Miix
Because shit like the magnetic field going berserk when the nib is near the edges is insufferable. It's basically a form of evening out the magnetic pressure between the digitizer and the stylus. Also, the space key has a back light indication, come on man?
+Ishani Trada Use Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Task Manager to see which program is using resources. Usually when the computer is hot, it is because the processor is running some software either intentionally or unintentionally. You have to find out which software that is and stop it. If it is not a problem with the software, then I suggest you take it in to the service centre. The technicians there will want to be able to replicate the problem, so make sure you can replicate it before you head over. Another suggestion is to Google search online to see if others have the same problem.
+Kim Winchester Yes, it's good enough. But if you have more budget, consider the Surface Pro 2017 and Surface Pen which have improved a lot. If you are lacking in budget, the 520 is good enough
Thx, im a poor student, so for me the 520 is the only choice here i think :D and also the bigger screen size is good for me, cuz i need to code java/c etc on the book too (: .
hey, i really hope that you get a chance to test the lenovo miix 720 because lenovo claims that the tablet has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity but they are really shady about it.( you can read the article here blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/todays-crossover-consumers-meet-their-match-lenovo-miix-720 ) They also said on another page that it had 4096 pressure sensitivity but its removed now. so im unsure about this 2 in 1 device i really hope that you can do a review about it soon. its a real dealbreaker for me if this doesn' t have 4k pressure sensitivity... because then i might as well buy the miix 520
hi i have some questions. 1. do you know what pressure does the pen have? 2. does it come with the tablet when you bought it? 3. lastly, which would you recommend for drawing, acer switch 12 alpha or miix 510? thanks! i still have not bought my tablet haha :D
+Christian Del Rosario Not sure about the pressure level. It should be similar to SP4. So my guess is 1024 levels. Stylus is included. Get the Miix 510 if you can. Build quality is better. Downside is there is not microSD card slot.
I read an artical and it said to fix it you should manually reinstall wintab and will fix the problems with Photoshop. www.parkablogs.com/picture/artist-review-lenovo-miix-510-with-active-pen Haven't tried it my self yet as mines being delivered tomrow.

Teoh Yi Chie how to turn it on?

You can stabilize the line a bit by changing the stabilizer settings on the program
@Sabrina B.
I recommend Miix because it runs Windows and hence has more functionality.
If you don't mind Android and do not depend on Windows app, then you can go for the Yoga Book Android version. Yoga Book Windows will lag with heavy applications.
Screen size is smaller but not a big deal in my opinion.
Currently the best screen tablets for drawing are the Apple iPad Pro and Pencil, and the Wacom MobileStudio Pro, both of which are very expensive. They are best because their accuracy is best.

In one direction it is more and in the reverse direction the same becomes only slightly?
Awesome review Teoh. I love Lenovo computers and tablets in general so it was interesting to just check out this review. Thanks a ton!
+AGbaby235 Thanks ☺️
You're welcome man!
Wait it's possible to set-up a lenovo active pen with a wacom driver binder?
can you do a review on the 4gig miix 320. it has active support!
I would like to know how good it is.
please!!!!
Is this Lenovo Miix 510 worth the upgrade from Surface 3 Pro?
BTW, Thank you for all your reviews. They are all great.
I don"t know if this works the same way with the miix, but I have an older wacom, where the jittery lines get a lot more bearable if you hold the pen perpendicular to the tablets surface. I wonder if it affects this one as well.

Did you buy it? I'm curious about the Lenovo laptops for art :)
Hello dear .... you mentioned that it only charge through the charging pin ..... did you test the charging through the USB C? many devices has multi charging option.....thank you
This does not charge through USB C.
Wanna know can this tablet run 3d programmes like Zbrush? How is the performance?
at 6.30 you push the tablet down while drawing, but does it also glide backwards while using it? considering there is no rubber in the stand like the acer tab has..
+Randy Marsh It doesn't glide backwards.
Great review, Would you still recommend buying one today? I was looking at the new Galaxy book 10.6 but this seems more powerful.
It's still worth the money. Maybe even more so if the price has dropped. Some models have the microSD card slot so look out for those. In terms of price and value, it's better than the Surface Pro 4. If you have the budget, this is a good one to get.
Teoh Yi Chie can you review the Lenovo miix 320?
how do you connect the pen to the laptop? is it through bluetooth ? thanks . Subscribed and Liked. Cheers
There's no need to connect. It's always connected. No bluetooth used. No battery in the pen too.
Teoh Yi Chie there is an AAAA battery if you unscrew the top
Will this stylus work on my Lenovo tab 4 10???

Merci beaucoup ! :D /// Thank you very much ! :D
excellent review
+Ms Chrys Thanks 😀
What is the difference between active pen 1 & 2?
Not sure about that.
Very thorough review, how do you compare drawing on this with the Yoga Book? Is the control and sensitivity that much more noticeable?
The Yoga Book is more accurate. Palm rejection and pressure sensitivity works flawlessly with all the Android apps.
Miix 510's performance depends on the app design, e.g. not all apps will have perfect pressure sensitivity or smoothness of the lines.

does it come with palm rejection?
It does.
jayweinx ng yes
Do you prefer this over the surface pro 4, for drawing capabilities? The stylus seems pretty similar to the pro 4 one as you mentioned.
+Christopher Roan Drawing capabilities is very similar but the Miix 510 is cheaper significantly. It will be very difficult to differentiate strokes from either tablets when compared side by side. So I'll probably go with Lenovo if I have to choose between the two.
The tip of the pen unscrewed off, away from the rest of the pen and the tip fell out. The tip of the pen will not screw back on. Any ideas?
Thanks for the review, do you recommend it over Acer Switch Alpha 12?
Oh yes. Lenovo Miix 510 has better build quality and *none of the unnecessary pre-installed third party apps*
Do you have clip studio paint? How bad is the jitter in that software? (if you do have it.)
Thanks for the review!
I don't have Clip Studio Paint to test
Ah well. Thank you so much for your review. You helped me with a purchasing decision.
Is that Stylus is included in the package, mate ?
Because from what i heard, it not included in the package so you must buy it separatedly
The stylus is included.
Hello sir, does it have a sim card slot? If it's doesn't, could it be use with usb modem? Thank u and sorry for my bad english 😊
I bought this tablet by this video, however the video is not very accurate when talking about "no parallax". There is definitely some parallax especially around the corners which can be very annoying when taking notes.
And also lenovo USB C to VGA adapter (part no. 4X90K86568) is compatible with Lenovo miix 510?
I'm not sure which pen nibs I should buy from wacom for the miix510
most of those apps has a stabilizer. no worry about shakes...
Have you tried using your pen vertical when drawing straight lines? Maybe that's the issue, it usually happens. Hope I helped you!
+Arnau Nogués It's not. All older model screens and stylus have the jitter effect. Newer models like Surface Pro 2017 has solve the jitter problem
The 320 version can be use as profesional as this model?
Teoh, what tablet do you most prefer to do your digital sketching?
I use my iPad Pro most often.
Teoh Yi Chie iPad Pro is the best tablet for artists I feel
Phill Blake for amateur-ish artists that is. for pro's Wacom tablets are better in every way possible.
@JKillerZs G
For what they're asking you to pay for them, they damn well better be.
Now I would like to get a new 2-in-1 laptop for general work (document spreadsheet and drawing).
I've just realized that there is Miix 520 coming soon, so is it worth waiting for it?
+Atinut Bundit Wait for the reviews to appear first. I hope they improve the stylus drawing performance.
Teoh Yi Chie Thanks :)
I have a question sr. Is posible to use the Usc Type C port for video output? Also which one is better this one with I3-6100 U or the Galaxy tab Pro S
Does it have palm rejection while drawing..?
It has palm rejection.

oh thank you
What's a good alternative pen to purchase for the 510? I really hate how much the pen slides on the screen.
There aren't any pen that's better than the one made for it. Maybe you can consider getting a matte screen protector for it. Try the brand icarez.
Teoh Yi Chie I think that'll be a cheaper option than buying a new pen. btw what are some accessories do you recommend?
There really isn't any other accessories needed. Maybe perhaps a Bluetooth mouse.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks for replying! Yeah I got a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I guess that'll do. A shame I can't find anything for boosting battery life though.
For boosting battery life, you need an external battery, one with USB Type C cable.
which one do you recomend for artist lenovo yoga or Lenovo miix 510?
+vikas upadhyay If you are on budget then the Yoga Book Android version.
Thanks I presue that the lenovo Mixx is a better performer ,I saw your acer alpha review ..please let me know which one -Surface pro /Acer alpha and leneovo Mixx to go for as I am looking for cintiq replacement
+vikas upadhyay Miix 510 is a capable replacement.
Teoh thanks a lot for making it easier to decide .
I have a Lenovo ideapad MIIX 510-12ISK. Could you let me know the model name of the touch pen which is compatible with mine.
+Wonwoo Lee Did yours come with a stylus. If not, you should get the Lenovo Active Pen.
Teoh Yi Chie
There is a an active pen for MIIX 700 and Yoga. I couldn't find one for MIIX 510. Is the active pen compatible with all MIIX series?
+Wonwoo Lee It should be compatible with all Miix. The name is just Lenovo Active Pen
Teoh Yi Chie
Thanks a lot~^^
Does it same yoga 520?
There is actually a Micro SD card slot hidden well behind the stand
Some models don't have that slot.
Teoh Yi Chie Oh, ok. Because mine does.
Do you know if I can use this pen in another notebook like sell 2-1?
The Lenovo Active Pen can only be used with specific Lenovo products.
Is this good also for editing photos? Like light room?
Yes, it's good. This is the previous model. The current model is Miix 520 and has better battery life. www.parkablogs.com/content/artist-review-lenovo-miix-520-active-pen-2
Teoh Yi Chie thank you. And thank you for your fast reply 🙏😺
Does it have any pen holder? How can i attach the pen holder to it?
There's no pen holder. You've to keep the pen somewhere. Pocket or pencil case.
Teoh Yi Chie
But it comes with a pen holder. I was not able to figure where I could attach it. If they have given a pen holder, shouldn’t there be a way to attach it?
I don't have this one but I have the Lenovo Yoga 14 and active pen, and the pen holder was just a plastic bit that fits into the USB slot. It's not actually a USB device, it just uses that to attach to the computer. Not sure if it's the same as the Miix
Have you ever tried changing the nib?
Haven't drawn enough to wear out the tip. To get replacement tips, you have to ask Lenovo where to get them.
Can you use ilustrator in this tablet or the miix 320?
Yes
If i get the i3 model, do you think i can run photoshop and illustrator well?
It should be alright, but it's best to get i5 and at least 8gb ram if your budget allows
Teoh Yi Chie thanks!
Can you review the asus transformer mini t102ha. Thanks!

Ive tried and the search results don't bring any wacom related apps.
It's here www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/bamboo-paper/9wzdncrfj1bh
will this pen work with other lenovo windows tablets?
This pen only works with this tablet
dope!
can you use the wacom bamboo feel pen with this?
Not sure about that. But I doubt it will be as accurate as the Lenovo Active Pen.
Thats a nice pen, an very big
Can i connect external hard drive to this ?
Yes you can, using the USB type A port.
did you had review asus transformer 3 pro ?
I did not
Will this pen work on the miix 320??? Somebody please help me out
Not sure about that. Pls contact Lenovo, or check out reviews of the Lenovo Active Pen on Amazon. See which are the compatible devices.
Does it support tilt sensitivity?
Not that I know of
you were using photoshop ..so this menas its not android it's a windows laptop?
This is a Windows tablet.
why wacom pen use batteries ??
Because it's not really the same pen that Wacom is using for their Intuos products.
Because shit like the magnetic field going berserk when the nib is near the edges is insufferable. It's basically a form of evening out the magnetic pressure between the digitizer and the stylus. Also, the space key has a back light indication, come on man?
they did not give me the stylus
could we use PS in it?
Yes you can
Hi. I have this miix 510.I bought it 6 months ago. Sometimes, it gets too hot and discharge itself. Should I go to service center?
+Ishani Trada Use Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Task Manager to see which program is using resources. Usually when the computer is hot, it is because the processor is running some software either intentionally or unintentionally. You have to find out which software that is and stop it. If it is not a problem with the software, then I suggest you take it in to the service centre. The technicians there will want to be able to replicate the problem, so make sure you can replicate it before you head over. Another suggestion is to Google search online to see if others have the same problem.
do u think the newer 520 is good for some amateur digital painting and coding for univerity? (:
+Kim Winchester Yes, it's good enough. But if you have more budget, consider the Surface Pro 2017 and Surface Pen which have improved a lot. If you are lacking in budget, the 520 is good enough
Thx, im a poor student, so for me the 520 is the only choice here i think :D and also the bigger screen size is good for me, cuz i need to code java/c etc on the book too (: .
+Kim Winchester Then go for the 520. It's worth the money
hey, i really hope that you get a chance to test the lenovo miix 720 because lenovo claims that the tablet has 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity but they are really shady about it.( you can read the article here blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/todays-crossover-consumers-meet-their-match-lenovo-miix-720 ) They also said on another page that it had 4096 pressure sensitivity but its removed now. so im unsure about this 2 in 1 device i really hope that you can do a review about it soon. its a real dealbreaker for me if this doesn' t have 4k pressure sensitivity... because then i might as well buy the miix 520
hi i have some questions.
1. do you know what pressure does the pen have?
2. does it come with the tablet when you bought it?
3. lastly, which would you recommend for drawing, acer switch 12 alpha or miix 510?
thanks!
i still have not bought my tablet haha :D
+Christian Del Rosario Not sure about the pressure level. It should be similar to SP4. So my guess is 1024 levels.
Stylus is included.
Get the Miix 510 if you can. Build quality is better. Downside is there is not microSD card slot.
thank you very much! :)
the miix 510 has 2k pressure sensitivity, at least thats what lenovo states...
i have that issue, random thin and thick line.. is that wintab reinstal also working for lenovo yoga 520?
sory for my no good english
Not sure about Yoga 520 though. It could be the Wintab or could be the app.
thankyou /:)
I read an artical and it said to fix it you should manually reinstall wintab and will fix the problems with Photoshop. www.parkablogs.com/picture/artist-review-lenovo-miix-510-with-active-pen
Haven't tried it my self yet as mines being delivered tomrow.
can you review the lenovo 720 with active pen 2 for drawing?
+quihgon Only if I can get my hands on a review unit.
what do you mean quite big? ITS HUGE 😑😑
Can I find a screen protector for mix 510?
Search Amazon
your english sounded so... HONG KONG
I'am from hong Kong and I can confirm that it is not true our English sounds much more like a mix of British and American accents
