If for you, which one will you pick?

Miix 510 or Miix 520 or Surface Pro?

Now? I'd probably go for a 520, and extend the warranty afterwards (I think you can do that with Lenovo, maybe).

I did checked with Lenovo customer service. Unfortunately, we can't extend in Malaysia(some other countries - yes)

For the pen, any recommendation for Miix 520 if want to get a spare one?

You can search for the old version for the 510 (also the Yoga 900), it works fine with the 520 (and has a clip too) but has less levels of sensitivity. It's also a lot cheaper and easier to find.

Yes, you can extend the warranty as I had extended mine. However, it is not that simple.

The issue is the Extended Warranty Pack 'does not' officially cover for Miix 520 at the time I purchased it in mid March 2018.

I tried to activate the extended warranty online but fails. So I email to Lenovo customer for help. They need the scan copy of the receipt and info on the extended warranty pack.

It took them about a month to rectify / update my warranty status. Below is my current warranty status.

I do not know whether they have improve the process or not.

1) How much do you buy for another year of warranty?

2) Can only extend for another year? Is there any option like extend 2 years?

3) Where do you buy the extended warranty package?


Btw, I saw you stated the Miix 520 comes with Active Pen instead of Active Pen 2? Is it confirmed as it should be Active Pen 2 for Miix 520.

1. Bought it for RM170 from SNS TWO RETAIL NETWORK @ 2nd Floor, Low Yat Plaza (Lot 2-002)

2. It is only extend to another 1 year. 1 year base warranty (original) + 1 year extended warranty = 2 years warranty

3. Please refer to 1.

As for Active Pen, Malaysia version is only come with Active Pen 1.

Just get this PQI PowerBank to charge my Miix 520. Not working. From other formers post, I assume it works on Miix 510.

I already have the miix 510\520 tips from jalan Pasar. Would like to let go this totally brand new pqi PowerBank together with this tips.

PM me if interested.

The PB? It's not a Type-C PD PB though, just a normal "laptop" powerbank (that works for everything that charges on 19V/3.42A = 65W).

It's slightly less then RM300 and you can get it either from Lazada or Lelong. Myself I got it from the Brightstar Malaysia online shop, best online price I've seen for it.

There's also the Apacer B222, which is pretty much just a re-labelled PQI. It's slightly more expensive though.

And yes, I just tested it yesterday and it works fine with the Miix. Don't expect it to charge fully from zero though, you'll get more like 30-40% at most... but considering the size of the PB, that's probably enough.

As a bonus, it does come with an Acer tip for it (that looks like it would fit your Switch) so you can use that Type-C for something more productive lol.

BTW, this is how small it is VS the traditional "laptop" PB, the RM500+ Energizer Xpal:

If it happens again, try reinstalling or updating the WiFi drivers? If that doesn't fix it, then you'll probably need to go to Lenovo.

I got mine from Sunway Pyramid .... suddenly forget the shop name but it's very famous for phone skins ...it's lifetime warranty ... anytime u feel tak syok with the protector, bring back to them and they will change new .... its more like a skin ... of course they do not have anything fitting for Miix (maybe now have i not sure) so they custom cut for me last time .... using since I got my Mixx till now ... so far so good ... i got matte ...

Maybe I say like this then others can remember the shop name .... top floor near the IT area

btw, does anyone notice, the Miix-520 keyboard is leaving marks on the screen?

Mine can see clearly the keyboard marking. Need to add around 2 to 3mm 'footer' or bar by the side of the keyboard to prevent the keyboard pressing on the screen.

Still looking for the material for DIY.
