The biggest difference between Xiaomi Tablet 2 and the previous generation is that it uses Intel processors, and is also divided into Android and Win10 versions. We have evaluated its Android version before, and it performs well among many Android tablets, but its twin brother does not have to, Win10 of X86 is totally different from Android. Win10 Xiaomi Tablet 2 is more like a mini netbook than a tablet
In terms of specifications, it goes without saying that Xiaomi Tablet 2 of Win10 is completely consistent with Android Tablet in terms of specifications and configuration, only in the system. Compared with the first generation Xiaomi tablet, the most important improvement is that it has replaced an Intel CPU, uses a USB Type-C interface, has no change in resolution and memory, and has reduced the battery capacity by about 500mAh in order to control the body thickness. As mentioned above, the Xiaomi Tablet 2 of Win10 is more like a mini netbook, or a real PC. What kind of experience will a Win10 tablet with 14nm ATOM CPU and only 2GB memory bring us without changing the configuration?
appearance
The package of Xiaomi Tablet 2 in Win10 version is the same as that of Android version, and the simple parameters of the machine are on the back. After opening the package, you can see the body of Xiaomi Tablet 2, USB Type-C data cable and charging plug. The contents are very simple.
The shape design of the Win10 version Xiaomi Tablet 2 is completely the same as that of the Android version Xiaomi Tablet 2. It still uses the all metal edging design. The screw opening is at the bottom, there are still three touch keys at the bottom of the screen, the volume and power keys are on the left, and the top is a 3.5mm headphone interface.

It can be said that the Android version and Win10 version of Xiaomi Tablet 2 are the same thing in appearance.
In terms of accessories, Although the Win10 version of Xiaomi Tablet 2 is equipped with a 5V/2A charging head and a thick black data line as the Android version, we also said in the evaluation of the Android version of Xiaomi Tablet 2 that although the standard configuration of Xiaomi Tablet 2 is only a 5V/2A fast charging head, it can reach the 12V/1A specification when using a charging head that supports the Qualcomm Fast Charging 2.0 standard, On the Win10 version of Xiaomi Tablet 2, the charging specification can only reach 5V/2A even if the Qualcomm fast charger is used.
screen
In terms of screen, Xiaomi Tablet 2 of Win10 version uses a 7.9-inch 2048 * 1936 IPS screen. After our latest screen test, its sRGB color gamut reaches 91.5%, and the maximum brightness in manual mode is 420cd/m two The static contrast is 1772:1, the average gray scale delta E is 2.4104, the average delta E is 3.5, and the average color temperature is 6340. In general, this IPS screen is at the upstream level among many Win10 tablets in terms of color restoration, contrast, and grayscale.
System&Practical Experience
In terms of system, the Win10 version of Xiaomi Tablet 2 uses the 64 bit Windows 10 operating system, which is no different from the ordinary laptop/Win10 tablet. Because the 64 bit Windows 10 operating system takes up more memory, even if we do not install any software on Xiaomi Tablet 2, it will only have 500MB of usable running memory after boot up.
Although the available running memory is very small, in use, we used Edge browser to open 8~9 pages, plus a general version of QQ, 500MB of available memory can barely meet. Since the available memory after boot is only about 500MB, plus its 7.9-inch small screen, the author dare not dream of realizing some slightly complicated operations on it, such as using PS, making videos, etc
performance
In terms of performance, the combination of Atom X5-Z8500+2GB DDR3 on the desktop level Windows 10 platform is still very tight. Although it can successfully run LOL and enter the game, even if the 1080P minimum special effect 5-6 person small group war only has about 10 frames, and even if it is reduced to 1024 * 768 minimum special effect 5-6 person small group war only has about 20 frames.
Another game we run is Hearthstone Legend. In Hearthstone Legend, 1080P full effect is also very slow, only 13~20 frames In the scene where the Hearthstone Legend is full of monsters and AOE clears the scene, it only takes 3-5 frames
It is obvious that the Xiaomi Tablet 2 of Win10 is not suitable for playing games, even if it is only at the level of Hearthstone. To say the least, even if it can run LOL smoothly, no one will think it is a very pleasant thing to fight on a 7.9-inch screen.
Endurance&fever
The Win10 Xiaomi Tablet 2 has a 14nm Agitation X5-Z8500 and 7.9-inch screen, which makes its endurance better than that of ordinary Win10 tablets and laptops 。
In terms of heating, because LOL stuck and frame dropped too seriously, the Hearthstone Legend was selected for testing. The maximum temperature after the Hearthstone Legend test was 43.3 ℃ near the camera on the screen one hour later. The heating performance was average, and there was no serious heating when browsing the web page or on QQ.
summary
The Win10 version of Xiaomi Tablet 2 is limited by 2GB memory and the Atom X5-Z8500, so we can't use it to complete some slightly complicated computer operations, and the 7.9-inch screen is really inconvenient. For the positioning of the Win10 version Xiaomi Tablet 2, it is a portable mini netbook. It can be easily controlled by opening about 5 more daily businesses, such as browsing the web, QQ, microblogging, and watching videos. But in fact, we can use mobile phones for these simple operations, The advantage of the Win10 Xiaomi Tablet 2 is that the screen is a little larger, while there are many applications on mobile phones that are not available on the Win10 platform. That is to say, the Xiaomi Tablet 2 of Win10 is not very useful in real life. It can only be said to be a good toy.
