Lenovo intros the Miix2, its first 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet; coming soon for $299 [Engadget]

Evidently the Surface debacle didn't end all Windows ecosystem tablet innovation after all

"Like pretty much every other 8-incher that's about to be announced, it runs on one of Intel's new quad-core Bay Trail processors, rocks a 1,200 x 800 display, and comes with Microsoft Office installed. Even the camera specs are on par with other models: you get a 2-megapixel webcam in the front, and a 5MP shooter around back. If you're feeling fancy, you can also buy a cover case and a capacitive stylus."
