Lenovo has unveiled its first 8 inch Windows tablet on Wednesday. It comes equipped with Microsoft's latest mobile operating system - Windows 8.1 and is the company's formal entry into the small screen Windows tablets.

The tablet is more distinctive and is pretty minimalist in design. It offers one of the cleanest looks we've seen so far.

The 8-inch tablet comes with both front- and rear-facing cameras, 2 megapixels and 5 megapixels respectively, and up to 64GB of storage expandable up to 128GB via its Micro SD slot.

The Miix2 is powered by an Intel Bay Trail-T Quad Core processor and can run older apps made for Windows XP or 7. It also has a 1,280 x 800 display and an optional stylus and detachable cover that comes in multiple colors.

Lenovo says the device will be available for purchase later this month and will be priced at $299 (approx RM1,200).
