The 12-inch Miix 720, which will start shipping in April for US$999 will cost US$100 more than the cheapest Surface Pro 4 model, but also come with superior features. It will run on Intel´s latest Kaby Lake CPU architecture and support 4K video thanks to an integrated GPU. On the outside it looks like Microsoft´s Surface Pro, featuring a kickstand at its back. Connectivity will be better however. The Miix 720 wears a USB-C port, which is also a high-speed Thunderbolt 3 port that can connect peripherals like displays and storage devices, and additional USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports. The Surface Pro 4 is limited to only one full-sized USB 3.0 port. While memory support of up to 16GB is on par with Microsoft´s tablet, the Lenovo Miix 720 runs on DDR4 DRAM in comparison to just DDR3 memory in the Surface Pro 4. The 12-inch screen is slightly smaller than the 12.3-inch screen on the Surface Pro 4 but offers a higher resolution of 2880 x 1920 (vs. 2736 x 1824). Here the full Lenovo Miix 720 specs:
