Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

Its chunky profile and weight mean Lenovo’s executive ThinkPad tablet isn’t for everyone, but its unique combination of class-leading connectivity, ruggedness, charging over USB, a pressure-sensitive stylus and keyboard folio accessory make it the most versatile option on the market. It also offers many business-centric features such as pre-installed anti-virus and a vetted Lenovo app market that makes for worry-free downloading. As a tablet the Transformer Prime is superior, but if you’re a business user or a consumer who wants a stylus and the best typing experience going, the ThinkPad comes highly recommended. We can’t wait to see a slimmer sequel with Tegra 3 and a Wacom digitizer.

Narrowly missing out on a nomination for the TrustedReviews Awards 2011 powered by Duracell, could the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet make the shortlist for next year's awards? Click here for a full list of the Best Surround Sound Systems of 2011 as shortlisted in the TrustedReviews Awards 2011 Powered by Duracell.

During my Tablet research I have read dozens of reviews. This review was the most comprehensive, well written review I've read to date. I will be receiving my ThinkPad Tablet and Folio Keyboard tomorrow. I already have the dock. I am looking forward to using the tablet for personal and business use with the hope that it will greatly reduce my need for paper and notepads..

Thanks for a great review.
